New Denham Drone Roof Survey
Drone roof surveys in New Denham and the rest of Buckinghamshire. We survey seven days a week.
- Slates or tiles shifted by high winds
- Vegetation in valleys and gutters
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
- Expect us to rearrange if it’s too windy or wet
- Let us know what you want to see
- Tell us the exact address when booking
Keep the photos with your property records. They’re a useful baseline for future surveys, and they help if you sell.
Have leaves and moss cleared from gutters, valleys and outlets, ideally once the leaves have fallen. On high roofs, leave clearing to a professional. Blocked hidden gutters cause many leaks.
How a drone roof survey works in New Denham
Drone roof surveys are available in New Denham and throughout London and South East England, where the airspace and the weather allow. We fly on any day of the week. We check the airspace for your address before booking a flight. You get a written report with close-up photographs and recommendations. To ask whether a drone survey suits your roof, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. We survey tall and steep roofs, valleys and parapet gutters and chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are lead work pulling away at abutments and loose ridge and hip tiles.
Villages like New Denham frequently stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. 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.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

What affects the price in New Denham
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- How big the roof is
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £400, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Booking your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- The property’s address and postcode
- When you need the report by
- The kind of building and roof involved
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.
What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
Drone roof surveys around New Denham
Denham Aerodrome is about 3 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. 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.
If you run a business near The Pavilions, big, flat commercial roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images help most. Ickenham Hall, about 2.1 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around New Denham. A drone or thermal survey doesn’t involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings. If you look after a building such as Hermitage Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Roof by roof
Ridges and hips
Ridges may be bedded in mortar or mechanically fixed. Their condition is noted in the report.
Chimney stacks
Chimney tops are hard to see from the ground. Close-up photos show the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. For a village or hamlet like New Denham, the journey is planned ahead of time: 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 is safe.
- You give us the address so we can check the airspace.
- We arrange any permission that is needed before we fly.
- Before the flight, we check the conditions and the take-off spot.
- The sub-250g drone takes close-up photos of the roof, kept in sight throughout.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Getting a price

Common questions in New Denham
Are there drone restrictions around New Denham?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. New Denham is about 3 miles from Denham Aerodrome, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. Strong wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
Is New Denham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
How soon will I get the report?
That depends on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
What’s in the survey report?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photos throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Why it is worth a survey now in New Denham
Faults on high roofs tend to be found late. By then, timbers, ceilings and insulation may be wet. A drone survey finds them sooner. In a place like New Denham, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.
