Drone Roof Survey in Titmore Green
Close-up drone photographs of roofs that are hard to reach in Titmore Green. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.
- Chimney tops in poor condition
- Ridge pieces that have lifted
- Flashings that have come away
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
Drone roof survey in Titmore Green
Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. We keep it in sight throughout, and within the 120-metre limit that applies to all drones in the open category. Each flight is planned with the site and its surroundings in mind. Airspace and weather are checked before every flight. We never fly where it is not safe. If you’re worried about cracked mortar along the ridge and lead work pulling away at abutments, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Titmore Green, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you cannot get from the ground. Weather and airspace are looked at before the visit. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Do you need a drone roof survey in Titmore Green?
Height and steep pitches make close inspection risky. Three-storey houses, blocks of flats and tall commercial buildings are common examples. A drone gets close-up views from a safe position on the ground.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Lifted or split lead flashings
- Cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots
- Flat roofs on upper floors that hold water
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wymondley Junior Mixed and Infant School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- How soon the report will arrive
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether VAT is added on top
Practical tips
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
- Be ready to move the date if the weather turns
- Clear a spot on the drive or lawn
- Let us know what you want to see
The report gives any roofer you ask to quote a clear brief. The photos show the location and extent of every problem, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear, ideally once the leaves have fallen. On high roofs, leave clearing to a professional. Blocked hidden gutters cause many leaks.
What a drone roof survey looks like in Titmore Green
With Knebworth House about 3.7 miles south, Titmore Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary the Virgin, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.

FAQs for Titmore Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Titmore Green?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Is Titmore Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Is a drone roof survey a thermal survey?
The drone survey is a photographic inspection. Thermal imaging is a separate check, included in our Premium Survey.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report, and it doesn’t include calculations. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
What happens next?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
What a survey costs
We confirm the price for your roof before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Height and safe access
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £400, including VAT.
Getting in touch
These details help when you get in touch:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
What happens on the day
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes about one to two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Somewhere like Titmore Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We confirm whether a drone suits your roof.
- A date is fixed, with a fallback in case the weather turns.
- The roof is photographed from the air, with the camera kept on your property.
- Where there is safe access, we check the loft as well.
- The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Check we can get to the back of the property
