Remenham Drone Roof Survey
Find out what’s going on with the roof before you spend money on it. We carry out drone roof surveys in Remenham, with photographs and a clear written report.
- Debris building up in hidden gutters
- Chimney tops in poor condition
- Ponding and splits on a high flat roof
When to book a survey in Remenham
Height and steep pitches make close inspection risky. Tall townhouses, blocks of flats and offices are typical. We fly from the ground and bring the camera close to the roof.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Hidden gutters full of leaves
- Slates or tiles shifted by high winds
- Coverings that have slipped high up on the roof
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image.

Drone roof survey in Remenham
Some roofs are hard or unsafe to reach. A drone takes close-up photographs of those roofs from the air. It shows coverings, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters clearly, including slopes that can’t be seen from the street. Everything we find goes into a written report with photos. It also suits roofs that would be damaged by someone walking on them. Where a flight is not possible, we explain why. Typical surveys look at standing water on a flat roof and slipped or missing slates on a high roof, across tall and steep roofs, flat roofs on upper floors and valleys and parapet gutters.
Some older homes in villages like Remenham are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Older and listed buildings around Remenham may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Remenham
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Tell us about any leaks or concerns
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
- Clear a spot on the drive or lawn
- Keep dogs indoors during the visit
The Premium Survey report comes the same day. It includes the drone photos where a flight was possible, alongside the other checks in the package.
Plan a drone survey every few years for tall or large roofs. Comparing surveys shows what is wearing, so small faults are dealt with early.
Remenham: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Remenham?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is drone flying allowed in Remenham?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour.
Do you cover Remenham?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and that includes Remenham.
What does the report include?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photos throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, and it’s agreed before booking.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
When does the report arrive?
It depends on the package: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Drone roof surveys in Remenham: local notes
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up close-up aerial shots and thermal images help. Remenham has a number of hotels within about a mile and a half, and like offices and blocks, hotels often sit under flat roofs. For hotels and other commercial buildings, large roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.
Greenlands, about 1 mile north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Remenham. Close-up aerial shots and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rupert House School, big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.

What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older rural homes like those around Remenham can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First, we check the address for flight restrictions.
- We arrange any permission that is needed before we fly.
- Before the flight, we check the conditions and the take-off spot.
- The drone captures close-up photos of the coverings, chimneys, valleys and gutters.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
