Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Nyetimber
Drone roof surveys are available in Nyetimber and throughout London and the South East, subject to airspace checks and the weather. Flights take place on weekdays and at weekends. Every address is checked for airspace restrictions first. The report includes the drone photos and our recommendations. To check whether your roof suits a drone survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Common reasons to book are slipped or missing slates on a high roof and cracked mortar along the ridge, on valleys and parapet gutters, flat roofs on upper floors and chimney stacks.
Around Nyetimber, lots of roofs are low enough to see partly from the garden or the street. The parts you cannot see, like rear slopes, valleys and chimney tops, are where a drone or thermal camera adds detail. Both depend on the weather on the day, as calm, dry conditions suit both. Even so, a close-up image often shows wear on ridges and flashings that a view from the ground misses.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, like when you want to compare after future work.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Prices for drone roof surveys in Nyetimber
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- How big the roof is
- The shape of the roof and its details
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- What made you get in touch
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
To get a price for drone roof surveys in Nyetimber, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Some details about the property and the roof help us give you an accurate price.
Drones, thermal imaging and Nyetimber roofs
Nyetimber is within about 1 mile of the coast, and wind near the sea can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, so the weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead. The drone we use is under 250g, flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID. In the open category, flights stay below 120 m (400 ft) and within sight.
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.
Nyetimber is about 2 miles south-west of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. We provide drone roof surveys for householders, landlords and businesses in Nyetimber and nearby. Across West Sussex, we cover Nyetimber. We also survey roofs in Portsmouth.
Here we cover the PO21 postcode area for drone roof surveys. If you need a drone roof survey at a property on Lion Road, Hook Lane and Anson Road or anywhere close by, we can help. Other places close to Nyetimber include Pagham (1 mile south-west), Aldwick (1 mile east), South Mundham (2 miles north-west), Fisher (2 miles north-west) and Sidlesham (2 miles west).

Local landmarks in Nyetimber
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Avisford, The Regis School and The Lamb pub, among other places.

Well-known places in the area include Bognor Regis Museum (2.4 miles east) and Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (2.8 miles east).
What you can safely check yourself
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Faults on high roofs tend to be found late. By then, timbers, ceilings and insulation may be wet. Looking from above picks up the early signs. In an older home around Nyetimber, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs and what we found on two real jobs.
Do you need a drone roof survey in Nyetimber?
After storms, owners want to know what has moved. It’s hard to tell from below what has shifted. A drone shows what has slipped, lifted or gone.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Loose ridge and hip tiles
- Cracked slates and tiles out of sight from below
- Lead work pulling away at abutments
- Slates or tiles shifted by high winds
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rose Green Infant School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Are they insured for the work?
- Their track record with similar roofs
- How soon the report will arrive
- Their drone registration, if they fly one

The survey, step by step
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Homes around Nyetimber often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- First comes the address, plus a note of what worries you about the roof.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where needed.
- On the day, we check the wind, weather and site before flying.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Nyetimber questions
Do you cover smaller places like Nyetimber?
Yes, Nyetimber is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Nyetimber?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and they go into the written report.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
