Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Moor Park
A drone can see more than your roof, so we take care. We keep the camera on the roof we’re surveying, not on gardens or windows next door. If your roof is shared, a word with next door beforehand helps. We survey the roof you’ve asked us to look at. Each flight is kept short and stays focused on the roof we are there to survey. Typical surveys look at outlets choked with leaves and silt and cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots, across fragile roofs, chimney stacks and large and complex roofs.
London roofs sit shoulder to shoulder in terraces and blocks, so privacy and neighbours matter as much as the view. Images are taken to show the roof we are surveying, with care for neighbours’ privacy, in Moor Park as anywhere. Mention access, height and anything unusual about the building as you book. Steep slopes, tall chimneys and rear additions are where the extra view helps most.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a visit in Moor Park, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. We then look at what can be seen safely from ground level, windows, the loft and, where it is safe, the roof itself.
- We start with the address and what you’d like checked.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- We assess the conditions and the take-off spot first.
- Close-up photos are taken of each slope, chimney, valley and gutter, with the drone always in view.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Getting a price
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.

Checking the roof from ground level
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
What a drone roof survey looks like in Moor Park
The wider area around Moor Park has a long history of building, with Headstone Manor about 3.9 miles south-east. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Open category rules keep flights below 120 m (400 ft) and the drone within sight at all times.
Take a building like St Martins School Northwood: a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity Church, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image. For a London address like Moor Park, it helps to know about controlled parking before the day, along with any off-street space.

Moor Park questions
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Moor Park?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when booking.
Is drone flying allowed in Moor Park?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. London’s airspace includes flight restriction zones around Heathrow, London City Airport and London Heliport, and restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs. Every London address is checked against them before a flight. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How soon will I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email.
Is Moor Park in your area?
Yes, we do. We carry out drone roof surveys in Moor Park.
Do you look in the loft space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
What we cannot see
It’s a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Roofs and gardens beyond the one we’re surveying
- A flight on a day when the weather is not safe
- Flights in a restricted zone without permission
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Fragile roofs
- Large and complex roofs
- Tall and steep roofs
- Flat roofs on upper floors
- Chimney stacks
Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Keep dogs indoors during the visit
- Give us the full address so we can check the airspace
- Allow for a change of day in poor weather
- Book early if you’re near an airport
The report gives any roofer you ask to quote a clear brief. They’ll see exactly where each defect is.
Plan a drone survey every few years for tall or large roofs. Regular photos make changes easy to spot, and early repairs keep water out.
