When to book a survey in Tyler Hill
Height and steep pitches make close inspection risky. Tall townhouses, blocks of flats and offices are typical. We fly from the ground and bring the camera close to the roof.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Loose ridge and hip tiles
- Damage after a storm that cannot be seen from below
- Lead work pulling away at abutments
- Vegetation in valleys and gutters
For businesses in and around places such as Whitefriars Shopping Centre, thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof.
Before booking anyone

- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?

Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Tyler Hill
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The Premium Survey includes a drone inspection where applicable, with a same-day report, structural analysis and an in-person consultation. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. If a drone will not help on your roof, we will say so. You get a written report with the close-up photos from the flight. If you’re worried about loose ridge and hip tiles and flat roofs on upper floors that hold water, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs on upper floors, large and complex roofs and tall and steep roofs alike.
Villages like Tyler Hill frequently stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Flying and imaging in Tyler Hill
Tyler Hill lies within about 4 miles of the sea, and wind near the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour. Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. Flights in the open category stay under 120 m (400 ft), with the drone kept in sight.
Anyone responsible for a site like Blean Primary School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. Take an older house close to Church of St Cosmus and St Damian: steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.

Why get it checked now?
Small defects on a high roof grow with each storm. Finding them now means less to put right, whatever height the roof is. In a small place like Tyler Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.
Why us?

Your questions about drone roof surveys in Tyler Hill
Is my home in Tyler Hill listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is drone flying allowed in Tyler Hill?
Usually it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. A small drone can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain.
What does a roof survey cost?
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
How do I arrange a drone roof survey in Tyler Hill?
Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Is Tyler Hill in your area?
Yes, we do. We carry out drone roof surveys in Tyler Hill, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain doesn’t usually stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
How the survey works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. The survey usually takes an hour or two for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Rural addresses near Tyler Hill can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First, we check the address for flight restrictions.
- We arrange any permission that is needed before we fly.
- We assess the wind, the weather and the surroundings before take-off.
- The drone captures close-up photos of the coverings, chimneys, valleys and gutters.
- Your report arrives by email, with close-up photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Find any records of previous roof work

Advice
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Allow for a change of day in poor weather
- Give us the full address so we can check the airspace
- Keep dogs indoors during the visit
- Move stored items away from the hatch
File the report and photos with your home documents. They give you something to compare against later.
Have high or hard-to-reach roofs surveyed every few years. Comparing surveys shows what is wearing, and early repairs keep water out.
What we cannot see
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Flying in a flight restriction zone without the airport’s permission
- A structural engineer’s report
- The underside of the roof (that needs an inside check)
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Fragile roofs
- Flat roofs on upper floors
- Chimney stacks
- Tall and steep roofs
- Large and complex roofs
- Valleys and parapet gutters
Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
