About our drone roof survey in Pamber Heath
Tall, steep, large or fragile roofs can’t always be inspected up close. A drone takes close-up photographs of those roofs from the air. It shows coverings, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters clearly. The photos go into a written report. It also suits roofs that would be damaged by someone walking on them. If we can’t fly, we tell you why. We survey large and complex roofs, valleys and parapet gutters and chimney stacks, and people most often book us about debris building up in hidden gutters and ridge and hip pieces working loose.
Older buildings in small places like Pamber Heath may be listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

Why get it checked now?
Faults on high roofs tend to be found late. By that stage the damage has spread inside. Looking from above picks up the early signs. Outbuildings and barns around Pamber Heath are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Why us?
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- Two decades and more of roof surveys

Questions from Pamber Heath
Is Pamber Heath within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Is my home in Pamber Heath listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How long does a drone roof survey take?
On site, it normally takes an hour or two at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Time for the pre-flight checks is included.
What do I do with the report?
You’ll get the report by email, with photographs and clear recommendations. With Standard there is a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation.
How do I arrange a drone roof survey in Pamber Heath?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Are there drone restrictions in central London?
In some places, only with permission. Restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs need NATS permission before a flight. Every address is checked first, and fall back on other viewpoints if we cannot fly.
How much does a drone roof survey cost in Pamber Heath?
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, confirmed before anything is booked.
Common roof problems in Pamber Heath
From the pavement, most of a tall roof is out of sight. You can’t see the back slope, the valleys or the chimney tops. Faults there can go unnoticed for years, which is why owners turn to a drone.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Moss building up on slopes and in gutters
- Flashings that have come away
- Ponding and splits on a high flat roof
- Slates or tiles shifted by high winds
If you look after a building like Silchester Church of England Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What experience they bring
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- When you’ll get the report
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
What happens on the day
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere like Pamber Heath needs a little journey planning: 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’s safe.
- You give us the address and tell us about the roof.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- Before take-off, the wind, the weather and the launch spot are checked.
- We fly the sub-250g drone close to the roof and photograph each area.
- You receive a written report with the photos and our recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets in another room
- Check we can get to the back of the property

What affects the price in Pamber Heath
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £400, including VAT.

Different roofs, different checks
Steep slate and tile slopes
On slate roofs, slipped slates often point to corroded nails. Close-up photos show how widespread it is.
Ridges and hips
Wind lifts loose ridge and hip tiles. Spotting them early stops them falling.
