Why it is worth a survey now in Touchen-end
Small defects on a high roof grow with each storm. Spotting them early keeps the work smaller. Around Touchen-end, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.

About our drone roof survey in Touchen-end
A drone shows the outside of a roof very well, but it can’t see inside. Where there’s safe access, we look in the roof space too, because the underside tells its own story. Together, the two give a fuller picture. Your report shows the drone photos alongside what we saw in the loft. If there is no safe loft access, the report says so. If you’re worried about wind damage high on the roof and flashings that have come away, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on fragile roofs, tall and steep roofs and large and complex roofs alike.
Older buildings in small places like Touchen-end may be listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera does not touch the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Common questions in Touchen-end
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Touchen-end?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. White Waltham Airfield is about 3 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Touchen-end?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found.
What do I do with the report?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
How soon will I get the report?
That depends on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Reports are sent by email.
How do I arrange a drone roof survey in Touchen-end?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
What’s in the report?
A written report with photos, covering the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend, in order of urgency where relevant. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The roof’s overall size
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
For a price for your roof in Touchen-end, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

What happens on the day
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Around Touchen-end, 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.
- You give us the address and let us know about the roof.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where needed.
- We assess the conditions and the take-off spot first.

- You receive a written report with the photos and our recommendations.

Also in Touchen-end
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- A flight on a day when the weather isn’t safe
- Neighbouring roofs the owner hasn’t asked us to survey
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will point you to the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.
Roofs we survey in Touchen-end
- Fragile roofs
- Large and complex roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Flat roofs on upper floors
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Tall and steep roofs
Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Move stored items away from the hatch
- Clear a spot on the drive or lawn
- Give us the full address so we can check the airspace
- A word with neighbours beforehand helps
If you need work done, roofers can work from the photos. They’ll see exactly where each defect is, so their quotes cover the same ground.
After a storm, check from the garden and the street. Debris in the garden is a sign to act on. A drone can show exactly what has moved.
