What affects the cost of drone roof surveys
To price your survey, we check:
- Which survey package you book
- House, block, shop or office
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The roof’s overall size
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Booking your survey
A few details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, it’s useful to mention:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.
Drone roof survey in Turnfurlong: what you get
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. Flights are kept as short as the job allows and focused on the roof in question. If you are worried about worn lead at chimneys and walls and flat roofs on upper floors that hold water, we can find out what’s behind it.
Even in a smaller place like Turnfurlong, there may be airfields or restrictions nearby, so every drone flight starts with a check of the Drone Safety Map. Open ground can mean stronger wind, which also affects whether a small drone can fly. Neighbours’ privacy is part of planning each flight, along with the airspace and the weather.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Questions from Turnfurlong
Is my home in Turnfurlong listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover smaller places like Turnfurlong?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
How do I arrange a drone roof survey in Turnfurlong?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
What if my home is near an airport?
It depends on the airspace at your address. Flying inside a flight restriction zone needs permission from the airport or air traffic control. Book early if you think you may be affected.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
What happens next?
The report comes by email, and you decide the next step: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
Signs you need a drone roof survey in Turnfurlong
Walking on some roofs does more harm than good. Older slates and tiles break easily, and fragile sheet roofs are dangerous to walk on. A drone lets us see them closely without touching them.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Flashings that have come away
- Ridge and hip pieces working loose
- Ponding and splits on a high flat roof
- Chimney tops in poor condition
Anyone responsible for a site like Turnfurlong Junior School will know that big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.
What to check before booking
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Their report turnaround times
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Homes around Turnfurlong frequently have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- You give us the address so we can check the airspace.
- We arrange any permission that’s needed before we fly.
- Before the flight, we check the conditions and the take-off spot.
- The drone captures close-up photos of the coverings, chimneys, valleys and gutters.
- Your report arrives by email, with close-up photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Flying and imaging in Turnfurlong
RAF Halton is about 3 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. Open category rules keep flights below 120 m (400 ft) and the drone within sight at all times.
If you run a business near Friars Square, thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Holy Trinity, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.

Checking the roof from ground level
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
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.
