Questions from Moreton
Will you come out to Moreton?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is drone flying allowed in Moreton?
Usually it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How do I arrange a drone roof survey in Moreton?
Simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
How fast do I get the report?
It depends on the package: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. Reports are sent by email.
Will I get photos?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found, so you can see each point for yourself.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
How a drone roof survey works in Moreton
Some roofs are hard or unsafe to reach. Our drone roof survey gets a camera close to them without anyone climbing. It shows coverings, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters clearly, including slopes that cannot be seen from the street. Everything we find goes into a report with photographs. It also suits roofs that would be damaged by someone walking on them. Where a flight isn’t possible, we explain why. If you are worried about standing water on a flat roof and cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Moreton, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from ground level. Weather and airspace are checked before the visit, and the journey is planned ahead of time. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Moreton
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.

Airspace, weather and Moreton roofs
Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. Moreton has a number of hotels within about a mile and a half, and like offices and blocks, hotels often sit under flat roofs. For hotels and other commercial buildings, large roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Moreton means lost rooms as well as repairs, so it’s worth knowing the roof’s condition. With Adwell House about 3.3 miles south, the area around Moreton has a long history. For older roofs nearby, a look by drone or thermal camera is a hands-off way to check condition.
Moreton is about 1 mile south-west of Thame, in Oxfordshire. We carry out drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Moreton. We cover towns and villages across Oxfordshire. We also survey roofs in Oxford.

What a drone roof survey does not cover
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Flights in a restricted zone without permission
- Photos in conditions too poor to fly
- The underside of the roof (that needs an inside check)
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.
Roofs we survey in Moreton
- Large and complex roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Fragile roofs
- Tall and steep roofs
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Flat roofs on upper floors
Can I check my roof myself?
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
How it works
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes an hour or two for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. For a village or hamlet like Moreton, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, we check the address for flight restrictions.
- Where a flight restriction zone or restricted area applies, we seek permission first.
- On the day, we check the weather and the site before flying.
- We fly the drone close to the roof to photograph it in detail, always in sight.
- Your report arrives by email, with close-up photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Getting a price

What we look for on each type of roof
Steep slate and tile slopes
Walking on fragile coverings can break them. A drone avoids that.
Large commercial roofs
Fragile roof sheets and roof lights can be dangerous to walk on. With a drone, nobody has to go near them.
