Drone roof survey in Pitch Place, Surrey
Close-up drone photographs of roofs that are hard to reach in Pitch Place, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photographs.
- Lifted or split lead flashings
- Slipped or missing slates on a high roof
- Wind damage high on the roof
Checking the roof from ground level
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
About our drone roof survey in Pitch Place
They suit tall buildings, steep or large roofs and roofs that are hard to see from ground level. They’re useful where walking on the roof could damage it or isn’t safe. The roof is photographed without being disturbed. We check the airspace for your address ahead of the visit. If a drone isn’t the right tool, we will say so. If you’ve noticed hidden gutters full of leaves and plant growth and moss on the roof, we can find out what’s behind it, on chimney stacks, fragile roofs and large and complex roofs alike.
Older buildings in small places like Pitch Place may be listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it’s a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Common roof problems in Pitch Place
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.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Blocked valleys and parapet gutters
- Cracked slates and tiles out of sight from below
- Eroded pointing on a chimney stack
- Storm damage on steep or tall roofs
In and around Pitch Place, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Pitch Place
Small defects on a high roof grow with each storm. Spotting them early keeps the work smaller, whatever height the roof is. In a small place like Pitch Place, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Questions from Pitch Place
Is drone flying allowed in Pitch Place?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain.
Will you come out to Pitch Place?
Yes, Pitch Place is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does the weather affect the survey?
A survey can normally go ahead in light rain, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions aren’t right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable.
How do I book a survey in Pitch Place?
Simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Flying and imaging in Pitch Place
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Many roofs like these cannot be judged properly from the pavement, and that is where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Michael and All Angels, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
