About our drone roof survey in Sipson
We carry out drone roof surveys in Sipson and across London and South East England, where the airspace and the weather allow. We fly on weekdays and at weekends. Every address is checked for airspace restrictions first. The report includes the drone photos and our recommendations. To ask whether a drone survey suits your roof, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. If you’ve noticed ridge and hip pieces working loose and tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
London airspace is busy and tightly controlled: restriction zones surround Heathrow, London City Airport and London Heliport, and Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs have restricted areas of their own. Every address in Sipson is checked before any drone flight, and where permission is needed, the flight waits for it.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What this survey can’t tell you
A survey is a careful look at the roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
- Close-up photos of next door’s property
- The underside of the roof (that needs an inside check)
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Fragile roofs
- Valleys and parapet gutters

- Large and complex roofs
Questions from Sipson
Are there drone restrictions around Sipson?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Sipson is inside, or right on the edge of, the flight restriction zone around Heathrow Airport. We ask the airport for permission before flying there, and only fly if it is given. London’s airspace includes flight restriction zones around Heathrow, London City Airport and London Heliport, and restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs. Every London address is checked against them before a flight. Strong wind or a downpour also stops a small drone flying.
Is parking a problem for a survey in Sipson?
Parking in Sipson, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Do you work in Sipson?
Yes, we do. We carry out drone roof surveys in Sipson.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access as you book.
What if it rains on the day?
A survey can usually go ahead in light rain. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather isn’t suitable.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We check everything that can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Sipson
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Drones, thermal imaging and Sipson roofs
Sipson is inside, or right on the edge of, the flight restriction zone around Heathrow Airport. We ask the airport for permission before flying there, and only fly if it’s given. Osterley House, about 4.3 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Sipson. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For businesses in and around places such as The Chimes, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cherry Lane Primary School, big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.

The survey, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we look at everything we can see safely. Most surveys take about one to two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. In Sipson, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they often give the best view of a rear addition.
- We start with the address and what you’d like checked.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- We assess the conditions and the take-off spot first.
- The drone photographs the roof closely, kept in sight throughout.
- You receive a written report with the photos and our recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
Getting a price
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we will recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
Different roofs, different checks
Ridges and hips
Ridges may be bedded in mortar or mechanically fixed. Their condition is noted in the report.
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Outlets, edges and roof plant are common problem areas. They’re all captured in close-up.
When to book a survey in Sipson
Parapet gutters, box gutters and central valleys sit out of sight. Debris collects where nobody looks, until water overflows inside. From above, they’re easy to see.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Flashings that have come away
- Wind damage high on the roof
- Moss building up on slopes and in gutters
- Flat roofs on upper floors that hold water
If you live in an older home near Christ Church, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- How soon the report will arrive
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
