Drone roof surveys in Redhill and the rest of Surrey. We survey on any day of the week.

Why it is worth a survey now in Redhill
Planning roof work without seeing the roof is a gamble. Our report shows the condition of each area. That helps you put the work in order. Around Redhill, gutters that overflow soak the wall below, and damp follows inside. A slipped tile or worn flashing does the same higher up. Left alone, both only get worse.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, including VAT, and we can help you choose.
What you get with us
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- PI and public liability insurance
- 98% customer satisfaction
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed

How a drone roof survey works in Redhill
The weather decides whether a drone can fly. Strong wind or heavy rain rules out a flight, because the drone has to stay safely under control. If the weather turns, we will agree another day or inspect what we can by other means. We check the forecast ahead of the visit and again on site. Calm, dry conditions give the sharpest close-up photos. A short delay is better than a rushed flight. We survey large and complex roofs, chimney stacks and tall and steep roofs, and people most often book us about cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots and worn lead at chimneys and walls.
Around a town like Redhill, steep roofs, tall gables and rear slopes are often hidden from the ground. Close-up drone photos and thermal images show what binoculars from the pavement cannot. Each needs the right weather. Rear slopes over back additions are a common example, as they’re rarely visible from the street.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

FAQs for Redhill
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Redhill?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Redhill is inside, or right on the edge of, the flight restriction zone around Redhill Aerodrome. Before any flight there, we ask the aerodrome for permission, and the flight only goes ahead if it is given. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Redhill?
Yes, Redhill is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
What will the report tell me?
Written findings with photos, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
How soon will I get the report?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. All of them come by email.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it is relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Close-up photos of next door’s property
- Photos in conditions too poor to fly
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.

How the survey works
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 take it from there. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. A visit in Redhill runs most smoothly with the loft hatch clear, side gates open and a parking spot in mind. Someone needs to let us in, so tell us who that will be.
- First, we check the address for flight restrictions.
- If permission is needed, we ask for it before the visit.
- On the day, we check the weather and the site before flying.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
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.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
What a survey costs
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- How big the roof is
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.

What helps most when you contact us:
- Any deadline, like an exchange date

Airspace, weather and Redhill roofs
Redhill is inside, or right on the edge of, the flight restriction zone around Redhill Aerodrome. We ask the aerodrome for permission before flying there, and only fly if it is given. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Belfry, big, flat commercial roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images help most. The streets around a church like Saint Matthew's Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, 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. Anyone responsible for a site like St Joseph's Catholic Primary School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
