What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. In a hamlet or village like North Mundham, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we check whether a drone is the right tool.
- We agree a date, including weekends, subject to the weather.
- Aerial photos are taken of your roof only, not the neighbours’.
- We also look inside the roof space where it is safe.
- The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Drone roof survey in North Mundham
They suit tall buildings, steep or large roofs and roofs that are hard to see from the ground. They’re useful where walking on the roof could damage it or isn’t safe. You get close-up views without anyone setting foot on the roof. We check the airspace for your address ahead of the visit. We will tell you if another approach would work better. Typical surveys look at wind damage high on the roof and chimney tops in poor condition, on tall and steep roofs, valleys and parapet gutters and fragile roofs.
In a village or hamlet like North Mundham, 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 looked at ahead of the visit, and the journey is planned beforehand. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that is said too.

Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Clear a spot on the drive or lawn
- Tell us the exact address when booking
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
- Let neighbours know about the flight if your roof is shared
File the report and photos with your home documents. They give you something to compare against later.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. The underside frequently shows problems before the outside does. Take photos of any changes.
Drone roof surveys around North Mundham
North Mundham is within about 3 miles of the coast, and wind near the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour. Many older homes in Sussex have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls. A few old Sussex buildings still carry heavy Horsham stone slabs. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up photos from the air and thermal images help.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as North Mundham Primary School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. Goodwood House lies about 4 miles north, so building around North Mundham goes back a long way. Aerial photos and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it.

DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book.

When to book a survey in North Mundham
Strong winds can lift slates, tiles and ridge pieces. Damage on a high or steep roof is hard to judge from the garden. Close-up photos make it clear what has been disturbed.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Chimney tops in poor condition
- Worn lead at chimneys and walls
- Vegetation in valleys and gutters
- Slates or tiles shifted by high winds
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Stephen, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they carry
- Their track record with similar roofs
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Prices for drone roof surveys in North Mundham
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Roof area
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

Questions from North Mundham
Can you fly a drone over a roof in North Mundham?
Normally 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. Strong wind or a downpour also stops a small drone flying.
Do you cover smaller places like North Mundham?
Yes. North Mundham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. Points are put with the most urgent first where relevant.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, and we’d agree another day.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take about one to two hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. We’ll confirm the timing when you book.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
