When to book a survey in Nuneham Courtenay
After storms, owners want to know what has moved. Damage on a high or steep roof is hard to judge from the garden. Close-up photos make it clear what has been disturbed.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Loose ridge and hip tiles
- Lead work pulling away at abutments
- Moss and weeds taking hold up top
- Slipped or missing slates on a high roof
If you run a business near Templars Square, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it.
Before booking anyone
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Drone roof survey in Nuneham Courtenay: what you get
Our price is from £400, including VAT. A drone inspection, where applicable, is also part of our Premium Survey, with a same-day report, structural analysis and an in-person consultation. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. If a drone won’t help on your roof, we’ll say so. Every drone survey comes with a written report and close-up photos. If you’ve noticed plant growth and moss on the roof and cracked mortar along the ridge, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as Nuneham Courtenay, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from the ground. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned in advance. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Nuneham Courtenay questions
Will you come out to Nuneham Courtenay?
Yes, Nuneham Courtenay is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Nuneham Courtenay is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
What happens next?
You will receive the report by email, and what you do next is up to you: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
Is your drone operator registered?
Yes. Our registration covers a Flyer ID and an Operator ID. The drone we use weighs under 250g.
What will the report tell me?
A report with photos, covering the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
How do I book a survey in Nuneham Courtenay?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
What if it is windy or raining on the day?
The flight waits for better weather. Wind and heavy rain are the two things that ground a small drone, so a new date is agreed with you, or look from other safe viewpoints if you’d rather.
Why get it checked now?
Close-up photos make conversations with roofers clearer. You can show exactly where the problem is, which helps when you ask for quotes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Nuneham Courtenay can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Why us?

What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. In a hamlet or village like Nuneham Courtenay, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First, we check whether a drone is the right tool.
- A date is fixed, with a fallback in case the weather turns.
- We fly over the roof, keeping the camera on the property we are surveying.
- If the loft can be reached safely, it is checked too.
- You get photos, findings and clear recommendations.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Advice
Drone roof surveys in Nuneham Courtenay: local notes
Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons.
If you look after a building such as Marsh Baldon Church of England Controlled School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps.
