Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a drone roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Shut pets inside while we fly
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
- Let us know what you want to see
- Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
The Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation to go through what the drone showed. You can ask about anything that is not clear.
Have high or hard-to-reach roofs surveyed every few years. Regular photos make changes easy to spot, so small faults are dealt with early.
Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Stokenchurch
We carry out drone roof surveys in Stokenchurch and across London and the South East, subject to airspace checks and the weather. Flights take place on weekdays and at weekends. We check the airspace for your address before booking a flight. The report includes the drone photos and our recommendations. To ask whether a drone survey suits your roof, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. If you are worried about tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack and blocked valleys and parapet gutters, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Places like Stokenchurch can be near small airfields or other airspace restrictions, so the Drone Safety Map is checked before any flight. Open ground can mean stronger wind, which also affects whether a small drone can fly, while thermal imaging also works best with little wind. Neighbours’ privacy is part of planning each flight, along with the airspace and the weather.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What affects the cost of drone roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The size of the roof
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £400, including VAT.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it is useful to mention:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
Drones, thermal imaging and Stokenchurch roofs
The wider area around Stokenchurch has a long history of building, with West Wycombe Park House about 4.2 miles east. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons.
If you look after a building such as Stokenchurch Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

It’s hard to plan maintenance for a roof nobody has looked at. Our report shows the condition of each area, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant. That helps you put the work in order. In an older home around Stokenchurch, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.

FAQs for Stokenchurch
How do I find out if my home in Stokenchurch is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover smaller places like Stokenchurch?
Yes, Stokenchurch is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
How do I book a survey in Stokenchurch?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. Photographs are taken throughout the survey, and the report uses them to show each finding alongside our recommendations.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to.
Common roof problems in Stokenchurch
Parapet gutters, box gutters and central valleys sit out of sight. Debris collects where nobody looks, until it causes a leak inside. From above, they’re easy to see.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Blistered or cracked flat roof coverings
- Moss building up on slopes and in gutters
- Cracked slates and tiles out of sight from below
- Damage after a storm that cannot be seen from below
For an older house near a landmark such as Stokenchurch Methodist Church, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Before booking anyone
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Will the report include photos?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
The survey, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about one to two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. Being in a smaller place like Stokenchurch doesn’t change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- We start by making sure a drone flight makes sense for the roof.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday, weather permitting.
- We fly over the roof, keeping the camera on the property we’re surveying.
- We also look inside the loft space where it is safe.
- Everything is written up, with the aerial photos and our advice.
Preparing for the visit
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Getting a price
