Old slates and clay tiles can crack underfoot. The drone sees them without touching them.
About our drone roof survey in Mount Pleasant
Drones need reasonable weather. We do not fly in high wind or heavy rain, because the drone has to stay safely under control. If the weather turns, we’ll agree another day or inspect what we can by other means. We check the forecast ahead of the visit and again on site. Light wind and dry weather give the clearest close-up photos. A short delay is better than a rushed flight. We survey flat roofs on upper floors, large and complex roofs and tall and steep roofs, and people most often book us about ponding and splits on a high flat roof and hidden gutters full of leaves.
In a small place like Mount Pleasant, open ground can mean strong wind. High wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. 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.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Let us know the exact address when booking
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
- Clear a spot on the drive or lawn
- Mention anything you’ve noticed on the roof
The report gives any roofer you ask to quote a clear brief. They’ll see exactly where each defect is, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Every so often, look in the loft space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. A drone sees the outside, but the loft shows leaks and condensation from below. Photograph anything new.
Prices for drone roof surveys in Mount Pleasant
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The size of the roof
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £400, including VAT.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What made you get in touch
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How the survey works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. In a hamlet or village like Mount Pleasant, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You give us the address and tell us about the roof.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- Before take-off, the wind, the weather and the launch spot are checked.
- Close-up photos are taken of each slope, chimney, valley and gutter, with the drone always in view.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
How to book
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, tell us about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
Landlord and commercial surveys in Mount Pleasant
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
FAQs for Mount Pleasant
Are there drone restrictions around Mount Pleasant?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Strong wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
Is my home in Mount Pleasant listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Is Mount Pleasant in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, Mount Pleasant included.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
How long is the visit?
It normally takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. The written report follows by email.
Drone roof surveys around Mount Pleasant
Mount Pleasant lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and wind near the sea can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, so the weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead. We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Flights in the open category stay under 120 m (400 ft), with the drone kept in sight.
Quex Park lies about 1.6 miles north, so building around Mount Pleasant goes back a long way. A drone or thermal survey doesn’t involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings. The streets around a church such as St Mildreds Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Westwood Cross, large commercial roofs are frequently easiest to see from the air or with a thermal camera.

DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
