How a drone roof survey works in Teasley Mead
Neighbours’ privacy matters on every flight. We keep the camera on the roof we’re surveying, not on neighbouring homes and gardens. If your roof is shared, a word with next door beforehand helps. We survey the roof you’ve asked us to look at. Flights are kept as short as the job allows and focused on the roof in question. We survey flat roofs on upper floors, large and complex roofs and tall and steep roofs, and people most often book us about cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots and wind damage high on the roof.
Villages like Teasley Mead frequently 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. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
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.

What happens on the day
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it normally takes about 1–2 hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Around Teasley Mead, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First comes the address, plus a note of what worries you about the roof.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission 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.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Different roofs, different checks
Valleys and parapet gutters
Some older terraces have a butterfly roof with a valley in the middle. It’s almost impossible to see from ground level, but it’s plain to see from the air.
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Flat roof coverings wear out at different rates. Photos show how the covering is wearing.
Honest limits
A survey is a close look at the roof, but it cannot do everything. Its limits include:
- Roofs and gardens beyond the one we are surveying
- The underside of the roof (that needs an inside check)
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Flying and imaging in Teasley Mead
Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Groombridge Place, about 2.4 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Teasley Mead. 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.
For an older house near a landmark like All Saints, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.

What happens if roof problems are left?
It is hard to plan maintenance for a roof nobody has looked at. You get photos of every part we can see. You can tackle the urgent items first. For an older or listed building in a place like Teasley Mead, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Teasley Mead questions
Is my home in Teasley Mead listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Teasley Mead within the area you cover?
Yes. Teasley Mead is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what you want to find out. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How experienced are you?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
