Why act early in Peasemore

With drone photos, everyone can see the same thing. You can show exactly where the problem is, which helps when you ask for quotes. Older and listed buildings around Peasemore may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.

A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

About our drone roof survey in Peasemore

A drone shows the outside of a roof very well, but it cannot see inside. We check the loft from inside where it’s safe, since that’s where leaks and condensation often show first. Together, the two give a fuller picture. The report sets out what the drone showed and what we found inside. If there is no safe loft access, the report says so. If you’ve noticed damage after a storm that can’t be seen from below and flashings that have come away, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.

Villages like Peasemore often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. High wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.

What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

For landlords and managing agents

Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.

Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.

Drone roof surveys around Peasemore

In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Flights in the open category stay under 120 m (400 ft), with the drone kept in sight.

In and around Peasemore, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early.

What we do, step by step

There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes between one and two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Older roofs in small places like Peasemore can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.

  1. We start by making sure a drone flight makes sense for the roof.
  2. A date is fixed, with a fallback in case the weather turns.
  3. The roof is photographed from the air, with the camera kept on your property.
  4. Where there’s safe access, we check the loft as well.
  5. Everything is written up, with the aerial photos and our advice.

Before the survey

  • Show us where any leaks or stains appear
  • Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
  • Let us know where we can park nearby

Arrange a survey

We confirm the price for your survey before you book, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £400, including VAT. For a price for your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

Your questions about drone roof surveys in Peasemore

Do you cover smaller places like Peasemore?

Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.

How do I find out if my home in Peasemore is listed?

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.

Does the drone show the underside of the roof?

No. It sees only the outer surfaces. Leaks, damp timbers and condensation often show first from inside, so we check the loft too where we can.

Are you structural engineers?

No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.

I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?

Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.

How long have you been surveying roofs?

We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.

How long does a drone roof survey take?

On site, it typically takes about one to two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. That includes the checks before the drone goes up.

Roof by roof

Ridges and hips

Ridges and hips are the most exposed parts of a pitched roof. From above, we can see loose ridges and missing mortar.

Steep slate and tile slopes

On slate roofs, slipped slates often point to corroded nails. Close-up photos show how widespread it is.

Do you need a drone roof survey in Peasemore?

Hidden gutters and valleys are easy to overlook. Debris collects where nobody looks, until water overflows inside. A drone shows them clearly from above.

Problems we come across often include:

  • Chimney tops in poor condition
  • Lead work pulling away at abutments
  • Ponding and splits on a high flat roof
  • Cracked mortar along the ridge

Take an older house close to Church of St Barnabas: thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image.

What to check before booking

  • Their track record with similar roofs
  • Whether VAT is in the quoted price
  • Their report turnaround times
  • Whether the inside of the roof is included

What’s in a roof survey

How we price drone roof surveys

All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:

  • Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
  • Which survey package you book

Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Helping us price your survey

  • What kind of property and roof it is
