Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Send Marsh
A drone can see more than your roof, so we take care. The camera stays on your roof, not on neighbouring homes and gardens. If your roof is joined to a neighbour’s, it is worth letting them know about the visit. We survey the roof you’ve asked us to look at. Flights are kept as short as the job allows and focused on the roof in question. We survey flat roofs on upper floors, large and complex roofs and fragile roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack and moss building up on slopes and in gutters.
In a small place like Send Marsh, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. 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.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Roof by roof
Large commercial roofs
Many commercial roofs have fragile sheets or roof lights. With a drone, nobody has to go near them.
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Leaks often start at outlets, edges and around plant. They’re all captured in close-up.
How it works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Rural addresses near Send Marsh can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We confirm whether a drone suits your roof.
- A date is fixed, with a fallback in case the weather turns.
- Aerial photos are taken of your roof only, not the neighbours’.
- Where there is safe access, we check the loft as well.
- You get photos, findings and clear recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
How to book
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
Signs you need a drone roof survey in Send Marsh
Chimney tops take the worst of the weather. Cracked flaunching, loose pots and eroded pointing are often invisible from below. Close-up drone photos show their condition.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Hidden gutters full of leaves
- Ridge and hip pieces working loose
- Flat roofs on upper floors that hold water
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Peacocks, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it.
What to check before booking
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- What experience they bring
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
Why it is worth a survey now in Send Marsh
From the ground, you are guessing about most of a tall roof. Close-up photos show what’s really there, slope by slope. Seeing the problem makes it easier to decide what to do. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Send Marsh, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Your questions about drone roof surveys in Send Marsh
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Send Marsh?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Send Marsh?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you give me structural calculations?
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.
How soon will I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. Each one is emailed, ready to forward.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Do you work in Send Marsh?
Yes. We cover Send Marsh and the rest of Surrey, as part of our work across London and South East England. To book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions aren’t right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £400, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
Helping us price your survey
There’s no need for technical words. It is enough to let us know:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- What made you get in touch
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Drone roof surveys around Send Marsh
About 2.7 miles south lies Clandon Park, a reminder of how long the area around Send Marsh has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. The drone we use is under 250g, flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID. In the open category, flights stay below 120 m (400 ft) and within sight.
The streets around a church such as St William of York are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image. If you look after a building such as Send CofE Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Can I check my roof myself?
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
