Flying and imaging in Two Mile Ash
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Flights in the open category stay under 120 m (400 ft), with the drone kept in sight.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of the Holy Cross, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image. For businesses in and around places such as Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre, thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof. Take a building like Two Mile Ash School: big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.

Drone roof survey in Two Mile Ash: what you get
We fly a sub-250g drone, and we are a CAA-registered drone operator, with a Flyer ID and an Operator ID. It stays within sight for the whole flight, and well below the 120-metre height limit. Every flight is planned around the roof, the site and the people nearby. Before every flight, we check the airspace and the weather. Safety comes first on every visit. We survey chimney stacks, fragile roofs and flat roofs on upper floors, and the problems we are asked to look at most are debris building up in hidden gutters and moss building up on slopes and in gutters.
Places like Two Mile Ash can be near small airfields or other airspace restrictions, so every drone flight starts with a check of the Drone Safety Map. Exposed sites can be windy, and a small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind, while thermal imaging also works best with little wind. Neighbours’ privacy is part of planning each flight, along with the airspace and the weather.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

What else we do in Two Mile Ash
Why act early in Two Mile Ash
It is hard to plan maintenance for a roof nobody has looked at. You get photographs of every part we can see. That helps you put the work in order. Homes in smaller places like Two Mile Ash can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Make sure the loft can be reached
- Let neighbours know about the flight if your roof is shared
- Allow for a change of day in poor weather
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
The Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation to go through what the drone showed. You can ask about anything that is not clear.
Every so often, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. A drone sees the outside, but the loft shows leaks and condensation from below. Take photos of any changes.
For landlords and managing agents
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
Prices for drone roof surveys in Two Mile Ash
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- House, block, shop or office
- Basic, Standard or Premium
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
To book a survey, phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. You will know the price before anything is booked.
What happens on the day
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a smaller place like Two Mile Ash, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- You give us the address and let us know about the roof.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- We assess the conditions and the take-off spot first.
- The drone photographs the roof closely, kept in sight throughout.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
How to book
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form, tell us about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
Two Mile Ash questions
How do I find out if my home in Two Mile Ash is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Are there drone restrictions around Two Mile Ash?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. A small drone can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain.
How soon will I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. Mention any deadline as you book.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will explain what’s needed.
What happens after the survey?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Do you cover Two Mile Ash?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, Two Mile Ash included.
