Drone Roof Survey in Trumps Green
Drone roof surveys in Trumps Green, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. You get a clear report with photographs.
- Lifted or split lead flashings
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Ponding and splits on a high flat roof
What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older rural homes like those around Trumps Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- You give us the address so we can check the airspace.
- Where a flight restriction zone or restricted area applies, we seek permission first.
- On the day, we check the weather and the site before flying.
- The drone captures close-up photos of the coverings, chimneys, valleys and gutters.
- We email a written report with the photos and our recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
Booking a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
Related advice
Drone roof survey in Trumps Green: what you get
Drones need reasonable weather. Strong wind or a downpour rules out a flight, because the drone has to stay safely under control. If the day turns out unsuitable, we will talk about another date or inspect what we can by other means. We check the forecast ahead of the visit and again on site. Light wind and dry weather give the clearest close-up photos. Waiting for a better day is better than a rushed flight. We survey large and complex roofs, flat roofs on upper floors and tall and steep roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are blocked valleys and parapet gutters and ponding and splits on a high flat roof.
Villages like Trumps Green often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. 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.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A drone survey disturbs nothing on the roof. Fragile slates and tiles stay as they are, so the survey doesn’t create new problems. Around Trumps Green, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT.

Drone roof surveys in Trumps Green: local notes
Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. In the open category, flights stay below 120 m (400 ft) and within sight.
Botleys Mansion lies about 2.2 miles south-east, so building around Trumps Green goes back a long way. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from the ground, and a survey from above or with a thermal imager does not touch the roof itself. Anyone responsible for a site like Trumps Green Infant School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Common questions in Trumps Green
Is drone flying allowed in Trumps Green?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. High wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Trumps Green?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How much is a survey?
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, and it is agreed before booking.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
What will the report tell me?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photographs. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
How quickly is the report sent?
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.

Different roofs, different checks
Valleys and parapet gutters
Some older terraces have a butterfly roof with a valley in the middle. You cannot see it from the street at all, but it’s plain to see from the air.
Chimney stacks
The drone shows the outside of the stack, and it is not a flue or gas safety check. We’ll say if a specialist is needed.
What we can’t see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- A structural engineer’s report
- Anything inside the loft or under the coverings
- Flights in a restricted zone without permission
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you. What a survey covers and does not.

Do you need a drone roof survey in Trumps Green?
Strong winds can lift slates, tiles and ridge pieces. It is hard to tell from below what has shifted. Close-up photos make it clear what has been disturbed.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Storm damage on steep or tall roofs
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Worn lead at chimneys and walls
- Moss building up on slopes and in gutters
Take an older house close to Christ Church: steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.
