What affects the cost of drone roof surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Roof area
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Which survey package you book
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
What to let us know when you contact us
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
We confirm the exact price before booking, so you know where you stand. Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or email us.
How a drone roof survey works in Tuesley
Some roofs are hard or unsafe to reach. Our drone roof survey gets a camera close to them without anyone climbing. You see slates, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters in detail. The photos go into a written report. It’s also a good option where walking on the roof could break slates or tiles. If we cannot fly, we tell you why. We survey valleys and parapet gutters, chimney stacks and flat roofs on upper floors, and common reasons people get in touch are lead work pulling away at abutments and moss building up on slopes and in gutters.
Somewhere as small as Tuesley, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Questions from Tuesley
Will you come out to Tuesley?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is my home in Tuesley listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We’re roof surveyors, not structural engineers, and it doesn’t include calculations. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
What if it’s windy or raining on the day?
We do not fly in strong wind or a downpour. Whether we can fly depends on the conditions on the day. If we can’t fly, we will arrange another day or inspect by other means.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Drones, thermal imaging and Tuesley roofs
The wider area around Tuesley has a long history of building, with Loseley Park about 3.4 miles north. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St John the Evangelist's Church, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Tuesley is about 6 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. We cover Tuesley and the rest of Surrey, as part of our work across London and the South East. Across Surrey, we cover Tuesley and the places around it. There is also a page for Guildford.

Neighbouring places we cover for drone roof surveys include Enton Green (1 mile south), Ockford Ridge (1 mile south-west), Hydestile (1 mile south-east), Milford (1 mile west) and Aaron's Hill (1 mile north).

DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
What we are asked to look at in Tuesley
Big commercial and industrial roofs cover a lot of ground. The drone covers the surface area by area, showing patterns of wear that are hard to spot up close. That gives a clearer picture of the roof as a whole.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Lifted or split lead flashings
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Vegetation in valleys and gutters
- Eroded pointing on a chimney stack
Anyone responsible for a site like Godalming College will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- What the survey won’t cover
What we look for on each type of roof
Valleys and parapet gutters
Valleys and parapet gutters are hidden from the street. A drone shows linings, joints and build-ups of debris.
Large commercial roofs
Cement sheet roofs on buildings from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We don’t test for it, but we flag it so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check.
What we do, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere like Tuesley needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- You give us the address and let us know about the roof.
- Any flight restriction at the address is checked, with permission requested if required.
- On the day, we check the wind, weather and site before flying.
- 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 the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Before and after the survey
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Keep dogs indoors during the visit
- Let us know what you want to see
- Clear a spot on the drive or lawn
- Let neighbours know about the flight if your roof is shared
The report gives any roofer you ask to quote a clear brief. The photos show the location and extent of every problem.
Look at the roof from the ground after strong winds. Pieces of slate or tile on the ground mean something has moved. A drone can show exactly what has moved.
