Drone roof survey in Motspur Park: what you get
Our price is 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 is not the right tool for your roof. You get a written report with the close-up photos from the flight. If you’ve noticed gaps where slates or tiles have gone and vegetation in valleys and gutters, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
London roofs sit shoulder to shoulder in terraces and blocks, so privacy and neighbours matter as much as the view. We take care to focus on the roof we’ve been asked to look at, in Motspur Park as anywhere. Mention access, height and anything unusual about the building as you book. The extra view helps most on steep slopes, tall stacks and rear additions.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later.

What happens if roof problems are left?
From ground level, you’re guessing about most of a tall roof. A drone replaces that guesswork with clear photos. Seeing the problem makes it easier to decide what to do. A hidden valley or parapet gutter on a London house can hold water for weeks before anyone notices. By the time a ceiling stains, the timbers underneath may have been wet for a while.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
- Allow time for permission if you are in a flight restriction zone
- Be ready to move the date if the weather turns
- A word with neighbours beforehand helps
There’s a follow-up after 12 months with the Premium Survey. It helps you see how the roof has changed over the year.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear, ideally once the leaves have fallen. On high roofs, leave clearing to a professional. Many leaks start with a blocked outlet.
What this survey cannot tell you
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Photos in conditions too poor to fly
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- A structural engineer’s report

Motspur Park: your questions answered
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Motspur Park?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Across London there are restriction zones around Heathrow, London City and London Heliport, plus restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs. Each address is checked against all of them before the drone goes up. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Strong wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Motspur Park?
Sometimes, yes. If Motspur Park has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How quickly is the report sent?
That depends on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Reports are sent by email.
Do you work in Motspur Park?
Yes, we do. We carry out drone roof surveys in Motspur Park, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
Do you look in the loft space?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
What a drone roof survey looks like in Motspur Park
With Southside House about 0.8 miles north-east, Motspur Park sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. 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.
Motspur Park is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Take an older house close to Christ Church New Malden: steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps. If you look after a building such as St Matthew's CofE Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes an hour or two for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. In Motspur Park, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they frequently give the best view of a rear addition.
- You give us the address and let us know about the roof.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where needed.
- We assess the conditions and the take-off spot first.
- The drone photographs the roof closely, kept in sight throughout.
- You receive a written report with the photos and our recommendations.
Before the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Keep pets in another room
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
