How we price drone roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- How big the roof is
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Helping us price your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Titsey
Neighbours’ privacy matters on every flight. The camera stays on your roof, not on gardens or windows next door. If your roof is shared, a word with next door beforehand helps. We survey the roof you’ve asked us to look at. Each flight is kept short and stays focused on the roof we’re there to survey. We survey flat roofs on upper floors, large and complex roofs and fragile roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are damage after a storm that can’t be seen from below and flat roofs on upper floors that hold water.
Older buildings in small places like Titsey may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager doesn’t touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Tell us the exact address when you book
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
- Keep pets indoors during the flight
- Allow for a change of day in poor weather
We email the report to you, with close-up photographs from the flight. Findings are set out in plain English, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant.
Keep the loft space ventilated. Poor airflow lets condensation build up, and it is something only an inside check will show. Keep insulation clear of the eaves.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Anything inside the loft or under the coverings
- Flying in a flight restriction zone without the airport’s permission
- A structural engineer’s report
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

What a drone roof survey looks like in Titsey
About 0.3 miles west lies Titsey Place, a reminder of how long the area around Titsey has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up aerial photos and thermal images help.
If you live in an older home near Church of St James the Greater, 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. Take a building like Oxted School: a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos. On timing, it usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. Cottages and farmhouses around Titsey frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- First, we check whether a drone is the right tool.
- 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.
- We also look inside the loft space where it’s safe.
- You get photos, findings and clear recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Advice
Titsey: your questions answered
Is drone flying allowed in Titsey?
Usually it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain.
Is Titsey within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions aren’t right, we will talk to you about another date.
How much does a drone roof survey cost in Titsey?
Our price is from £400, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, and it’s agreed before booking.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.
