Drone roof survey in Midgham Green
Prices start from £400, including VAT. A drone inspection, where it applies, is also part of our Premium Survey, along with structural analysis, a same-day report and an in-person consultation. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. We’ll tell you if a drone isn’t the right tool for your roof. Every drone survey comes with a written report and close-up photographs. Common reasons to book are ponding and splits on a high flat roof and hidden gutters full of leaves, on large and complex roofs, chimney stacks and valleys and parapet gutters.
In a small place like Midgham Green, open ground can mean strong wind. High wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes an hour or two for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. In a small place like Midgham Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You give us the address and tell us about the roof.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where needed.
- Before take-off, the wind, the weather and the launch spot are looked at.
- We fly the sub-250g drone close to the roof and photograph each area.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Leave side gates unlocked
How to book
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Leaks frequently start at outlets, edges and around plant. They’re all captured in close-up, as far as the flight allows.
Large commercial roofs
Big roofs on offices, warehouses and units take time to inspect. A drone photographs the whole surface methodically.
Airspace, weather and Midgham Green roofs
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Steep or complicated roofs are frequently hard to see from the ground, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Matthew are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps. If you look after a building such as Woolhampton C.E. Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

Common questions in Midgham Green
Do you cover smaller places like Midgham Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Midgham Green?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Will the drone film my neighbours?
We point the camera at your roof only. Neighbouring homes and gardens are not the subject. A quick word with the neighbours is a good idea.
Will the drone show what’s under the tiles?
No. A drone shows the outside surfaces of the roof in close detail, but not the loft or the underside. We look in the loft from inside where it’s safe.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Does the report include photos?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, which makes the report easy to follow.
How do I arrange a drone roof survey in Midgham Green?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or email us. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Midgham Green
Faults on high roofs tend to be found late. By that stage the damage has spread inside. Looking from above picks up the early signs. Around Midgham Green, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.

Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Let neighbours know about the flight if your roof is shared
- Give us the full address so we can check the airspace
- Book early if you are near an airport
- Expect us to rearrange if it’s too windy or wet
You get an in-person consultation with the Premium Survey to go through what the drone showed. It is a chance to ask about anything in the report.
Every so frequently, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. The underside frequently shows problems before the outside does. Photograph anything new.
