An experienced roof surveyor for drone roof surveys in Nash Street. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us across London and South East England.
- Ridge and hip pieces working loose
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Ponding and splits on a high flat roof
What we do, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. For a village or hamlet like Nash Street, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You give us the address so we can check the airspace.
- If permission is needed, we ask for it before the visit.
- On the day, we check the weather and the site before flying.
- The sub-250g drone takes close-up photographs of the roof, kept in sight throughout.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

About our drone roof survey in Nash Street
The weather decides whether a drone can fly. We do not fly in high wind or heavy rain, because the drone has to stay safely under control. If the weather turns, we will agree another day or inspect what we can by other means. We check the forecast before the visit and again on site. Calm, dry conditions give the sharpest close-up photos. Waiting for a better day is better than a rushed flight. We survey tall and steep roofs, large and complex roofs and flat roofs on upper floors, and the problems we are asked to look at most are hidden gutters full of leaves and cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots.
Villages like Nash Street often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. Strong wind or a downpour stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Common questions in Nash Street
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Nash Street?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. High wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Nash Street?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How long does the survey take?
It typically takes between one and two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. The report follows by email.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we’re not structural engineers and do not carry out calculations. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
How do I book a survey in Nash Street?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey seven days a week.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.

Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- A word with neighbours beforehand helps
- Let us know what you want to see
- Clear the loft hatch so we can check inside too
- Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
If you need work done, roofers can work from the photos. The photos show the location and extent of every problem, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Plan a drone survey every few years for tall or large roofs. Comparing surveys shows what is wearing, and early repairs keep water out.

Drone roof surveys in Nash Street: local notes
Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. Open category rules keep flights below 120 m (400 ft) and the drone within sight at all times. With Horselunges Manor about 2 miles east, Nash Street sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church such as The Parish 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.

When you need someone else

- Flying in a flight restriction zone without the airport’s permission
- Photos in conditions too poor to fly
- Roofs and gardens beyond the one we are surveying
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you. What a survey covers and does not.
What we look at
- Fragile roofs
- Large and complex roofs
- Flat roofs on upper floors
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Chimney stacks
- Tall and steep roofs
Why get it checked now?
Leaving a slipped slate or a blocked valley can turn a small fault into a leak. Finding them now means less to put right. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

Common roof problems in Nash Street
Steep and tall roofs are hard to inspect safely. Three-storey houses, blocks of flats and tall commercial buildings are common examples. A drone gets close-up views from a safe position on the ground.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Flat roofs on upper floors that hold water
- Storm damage on steep or tall roofs
- Cracked slates and tiles out of sight from below
- Lifted or split lead flashings
If you look after a building such as Chiddingly Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon the report will arrive
- What exactly goes into their report
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
