An experienced roof surveyor for drone roof surveys in Mimbridge. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys.

Checking the roof from ground level
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
About our drone roof survey in Mimbridge
Every flight starts with an airspace check. Flight restriction zones around airports like Heathrow, Gatwick and London City need permission from the airport or air traffic control. Central London has restricted areas of its own, which need NATS permission. If we can’t fly, we use other safe vantage points instead and explain why. Prison sites also have drone restriction zones. Typical surveys look at cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots and loose ridge and hip tiles, on fragile roofs, large and complex roofs and valleys and parapet gutters.
In a small place like Mimbridge, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Flying and imaging in Mimbridge
Mimbridge is about 2 miles from Fairoaks Airport, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. The wider area around Mimbridge has a long history of building, with Botleys Mansion about 3.1 miles north-east. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Lawrence, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help. Shop and office owners around The Peacocks may find that large commercial roofs are often easiest to see from the air or with a thermal camera. Anyone responsible for a site like Woking High School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

- A structural engineer’s report

What we look at
- Chimney stacks
- Flat roofs on upper floors
- Tall and steep roofs
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Large and complex roofs
- Fragile roofs
What a survey costs
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Which survey package you book
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The roof’s overall size
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £400, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Anything about access we should know
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.

What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Mimbridge, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we check whether a drone is the right tool.
- A date is fixed, with a fallback in case the weather turns.
- Aerial photos are taken of your roof only, not the neighbours’.
- We also look inside the roof space where it is safe.
- The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Getting a price
To book a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You will know the price before anything is booked.

Questions from Mimbridge
Do you cover smaller places like Mimbridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Are there drone restrictions around Mimbridge?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Fairoaks Airport is about 2 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. High wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
What does a roof survey cost?
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before you book, based on the roof’s size, access and package. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. Photos are part of every report.
What does the report include?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photos. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
- Clear a spot on the drive or lawn
- Book early if you’re near an airport
- Tell next door if the drone will be near their property
You get an in-person consultation with the Premium Survey to go through what the drone showed. You can ask about anything that isn’t clear.
Have leaves and moss cleared from gutters, valleys and outlets, particularly in autumn. On tall buildings, use a professional with the right access equipment. Blocked hidden gutters cause many leaks.
