About our drone roof survey in Stoneleigh
Some roofs are hard or unsafe to reach. A drone takes close-up photos of those roofs from the air. You see slates, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters in detail, including slopes that cannot 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 isn’t possible, we explain why. If you’ve noticed outlets choked with leaves and silt and blistered or cracked flat roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Around Stoneleigh, older homes can have thin loft insulation and later additions with roofs of their own. Thermal patterns and close-up photos together give a fuller picture of the roof. Findings are checked with moisture readings where needed. Results depend on the weather, so the visit is planned around the forecast.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the roof, useful for planning maintenance.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Stoneleigh: your questions answered
Will you come out to Stoneleigh?
Yes, Stoneleigh is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Are there drone restrictions around Stoneleigh?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, so you can see what we mean.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take an hour or two for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. The written report follows by email.
Honest limits
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Photos in conditions too poor to fly
- Close-up photos of next door’s property
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)

The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. Being in a smaller place like Stoneleigh does not change how the visit works: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- You give us the address and tell us about the roof.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where needed.
- Before take-off, the wind, the weather and the launch spot are checked.
- Close-up photos are taken of each slope, chimney, valley and gutter, with the drone always in view.
- You receive a written report with the photos and our recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Drone roof surveys around Stoneleigh
The drone we use is under 250g, flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID. Open category rules keep flights below 120 m (400 ft) and the drone within sight at all times. With Fitznells Manor about 0.8 miles south, Stoneleigh sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently 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 streets around a church such as The Parish Church of St John the Baptist are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps. Anyone responsible for a site like Auriol Junior School will know that a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. Shop and office owners around The Ashley Centre may find that big, flat commercial roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images help most.

Around Stoneleigh

Why act early in Stoneleigh
Photographing a roof from the air does not touch it. Fragile slates and tiles stay as they are, so you see the roof exactly as it is. Homes in smaller places like Stoneleigh can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £400, including VAT.
What you get with us
- A written report with photographs
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Our drone check of a chimney is visual, and it is not a flue or gas safety check. If the flue needs a specialist, we will tell you.
Steep slate and tile slopes
Widespread slipping on slate normally means nail fatigue. We can see the extent of it from above.
