How a drone roof survey works in Surbiton Park
Prices start from £400, including VAT. A drone inspection, where applicable, is also part of our Premium Survey, with a same-day report, structural analysis and an in-person consultation. It also includes a follow-up after 12 months. If a drone will not help on your roof, we will say so. You get a written report with the close-up photos from the flight. We survey flat roofs on upper floors, chimney stacks and valleys and parapet gutters, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are vegetation in valleys and gutters and loose ridge and hip tiles.
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. Before a drone goes up in Surbiton Park, the address is checked against all of them, and where permission is needed, the flight waits for it.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Roof by roof
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Flat roofs on tall buildings are frequently seen by nobody. A drone shows ponding, splits, blisters and worn upstands.
Chimney stacks
The drone shows the outside of the stack, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection. If the flue needs a specialist, we’ll tell you.

What happens on the day
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes between one and two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. For a visit in Surbiton Park, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. On the day, the roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start by making sure a drone flight makes sense for the roof.
- A date is fixed, with a fallback in case the weather turns.
- We fly over the roof, keeping the camera on the property we are surveying.
- If the loft can be reached safely, it’s checked too.
- You get photos, findings and clear recommendations.
How to prepare
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

What affects the cost of drone roof surveys

- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The roof’s overall size
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
For a price for your roof in Surbiton Park, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
What to let us know when you get in touch
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- When you need the report by
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- The property’s address and postcode

Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Tell us the exact address when you book
- Let us know what you want to see
- Tell next door if the drone will be near their property
- Allow for a change of day in poor weather
Premium also includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows whether anything has moved or worn since the first visit, and whether work has done its job.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. A drone sees the outside, but the loft shows leaks and condensation from below. Take photos of any changes.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Close-up photos make conversations with roofers clearer. You can show exactly where the problem is, which helps when you ask for quotes. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Surbiton Park: your questions answered
Is drone flying allowed in Surbiton Park?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Across London there are restriction zones around Heathrow, London City and London Heliport, plus restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs. Each address is checked against all of them before the drone goes up. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. Strong wind or a downpour also stops a small drone flying.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Surbiton Park?
It rarely stops a survey, but it’s worth planning. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we will work around them.
How long is the visit?
It normally takes between one and two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. The report follows by email.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £400, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, confirmed before anything is booked.
What happens next?
The report comes by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, which makes the report easy to follow.
What’s in the report?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photographs. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely.
Drone roof surveys in Surbiton Park: local notes
The wider area around Surbiton Park has a long history of building, with Hampton Court Palace about 1.4 miles west. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. 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.
Parking in Surbiton Park, as in most of London, takes a little planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The streets around a church such as St John's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. For businesses in and around places such as Bentall Centre, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it.
