Drone roof survey in Sedrup, Buckinghamshire
Drone roof surveys across Sedrup, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. You get a clear report with photos.

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.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Drone roof survey in Sedrup: what you get
Tall, steep, large or fragile roofs cannot always be inspected up close. Our drone roof survey gets a camera close to them without anyone climbing. You see slates, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters in detail. Everything we find goes into a photo-illustrated 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 are often asked to look into moss building up on slopes and in gutters and cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots, on chimney stacks, flat roofs on upper floors and large and complex roofs.
In a small place like Sedrup, open ground can mean strong wind. Strong wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

How we price drone roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- House, block, shop or office
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
Getting in touch
A few details help us point you to the right survey and price. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- What made you get in touch
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will explain the options and the price.
Flying and imaging in Sedrup
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. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Mary's Church, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help. For businesses in and around places such as Friars Square, large commercial roofs are often easiest to see from above or with a thermal imager.
Sedrup is about 2 miles south-west of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. If you’re in Sedrup, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Our Buckinghamshire coverage includes Sedrup and the places around it. We also survey roofs in Oxford.

Near you in Sedrup
Around Sedrup, our work takes us to homes and buildings near The Harrow pub, The Mandeville School and Pebble Brook School and the streets around them. The closest station to Sedrup is Aylesbury station, roughly 1.7 miles north-east of the centre. A little further out are Dinton Castle (2.1 miles west) and Friars Square (1.8 miles north-east). Not far away are Beacon Hill and Snakemoor.
When to book a survey in Sedrup
Height and steep pitches make close inspection risky. Three-storey houses, blocks of flats and tall commercial buildings are common examples. We fly from the ground and bring the camera close to the roof.
Look out for signs like these:
- Slipped or missing slates on a high roof
- Blocked valleys and parapet gutters
- Loose ridge and hip tiles
- Standing water on a flat roof
Anyone responsible for a site like Stone Church of England Combined School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What happens after the report arrives
- How long the report takes to arrive
Can I check my roof myself?
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.

Your questions about drone roof surveys in Sedrup
How do I find out if my home in Sedrup is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Are there drone restrictions around Sedrup?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.

The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.

What a drone roof survey doesn’t cover
A survey is a proper look at the roof, but it cannot do everything. The main limits are:
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- Close-up photos of next door’s property
- Photos in conditions too poor to fly
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will tell you before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roof types and parts we check
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Tall and steep roofs
- Large and complex roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Fragile roofs
- Flat roofs on upper floors
How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes an hour or two at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a village or hamlet like Sedrup, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- 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.
- The drone photographs the roof closely, kept in sight throughout.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
