Drone roof survey in Stunts Green
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. A drone inspection, where applicable, is also part of our Premium Survey, along with structural analysis, a same-day report and an in-person consultation. There is a 12-month follow-up as well. If a drone will not help on your roof, we’ll say so. Every drone survey comes with a written report and close-up photos. Typical surveys look at lead work pulling away at abutments and coverings that have slipped high up on the roof, across fragile roofs, large and complex roofs and valleys and parapet gutters.
Villages like Stunts Green often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. 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. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Airspace, weather and Stunts Green roofs
Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. In the open category, flights stay below 120 m (400 ft) and within sight. Historic houses such as Horselunges Manor, about 2.9 miles west, show how far back building in the area around Stunts Green goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Stunts Green is about 3 miles north-east of Hailsham, in East Sussex. Whether the building in Stunts Green is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed.

Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Give us the full address so we can check the airspace
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
- Allow for a change of day in poor weather
- Check there is room outside for the drone to take off
The report gives any roofer you ask to quote a clear brief. The photos show the location and extent of every problem.
After a storm, check from the garden and the street. Pieces of slate or tile on the ground mean something has moved. A drone can show exactly what has moved.
Signs you need a drone roof survey in Stunts Green
Height and steep pitches make close inspection risky. Three-storey houses, blocks of flats and tall commercial buildings are common examples. We fly from ground level and bring the camera close to the roof.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Moss and weeds taking hold up top
- Chimney tops in poor condition
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Slates or tiles shifted by high winds
Take a building like Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School: a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

What we look for on each type of roof
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Outlets, edges and roof plant are common problem areas. We photograph them closely, as far as the flight allows.
Large commercial roofs
Cement sheet roofs on buildings from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We flag it in the report and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor.
What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the roof
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
Getting in touch
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it helps to mention:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
If you are buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.

What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes an hour or two at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Stunts Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, we check whether a drone is the right tool.
- We agree a date, including weekends, subject to the weather.
- The roof is photographed from the air, with the camera kept on your property.
- We also look inside the roof space where it is safe.
- Everything is written up, with the aerial photos and our advice.
Before we arrive
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Common questions in Stunts Green
Is my home in Stunts Green listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is drone flying allowed in Stunts Green?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. Strong wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft can’t be reached safely, the report says so.
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.
What will the report tell me?
Written findings with photos, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Why it is worth a survey now in Stunts Green
Planning roof work without seeing the roof is a gamble. You get photos of every part we can see. You can tackle the urgent items first. Older and listed buildings around Stunts Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
