Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Palestine
Drone surveys suit tall houses, blocks of flats, steep roofs and large commercial roofs. They also suit fragile roofs that nobody should walk on, such as old slate, clay tiles or cement sheets. The roof is photographed without being disturbed. We check the airspace for your address before the visit. We’ll tell you if another approach would work better. Common reasons to book are cracked slates and tiles out of sight from below and cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots, across chimney stacks, flat roofs on upper floors and valleys and parapet gutters.
Somewhere as small as Palestine, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Weather and airspace are looked at ahead of the visit. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Checking the roof from the ground
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Why act early in Palestine
A drone survey disturbs nothing on the roof. Fragile slates and tiles stay as they are, so you see the roof exactly as it is. In a place like Palestine, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Your questions about drone roof surveys in Palestine
Is Palestine within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Is drone flying allowed in Palestine?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Will I get photos?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding.
When does the report arrive?
Each package has its own report time. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, tell us as you book.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. In a hamlet or village like Palestine, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You give us the address so we can check the airspace.
- Where a flight restriction zone or restricted area applies, we seek permission first.
- We assess the wind, the weather and the surroundings before take-off.
- We fly the drone close to the roof to photograph it in detail, always in sight.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Getting a price
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

Common roof problems in Palestine
Strong winds can lift slates, tiles and ridge pieces. It is hard to tell from below what has shifted. Close-up photos make it clear what has been disturbed.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Storm damage on steep or tall roofs
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Blistered or cracked flat roof coverings
- Ridge and hip pieces working loose
With Idmiston Manor about 4.7 miles south-west, the area around Palestine has a long history. A drone or thermal survey doesn’t involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings.
Questions to ask before booking
- What experience they bring
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Their report turnaround times
Drone roof surveys around Palestine
Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. 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.
Take an older house close to Church of St Leonard: steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view by drone or thermal camera helps. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Grateley Primary School, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.
