Drone Roof Survey in Tyler's Green
Drone roof surveys across Tyler's Green, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. Every survey ends with a written report and photos.

- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Standing water on a flat roof
What this survey can’t tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- A flight where airspace permission is refused
- Photos in conditions too poor to fly
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will recommend the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What this survey covers
- Large and complex roofs
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Tall and steep roofs
- Flat roofs on upper floors
- Fragile roofs
- Chimney stacks
Drone roof survey in Tyler's Green
The weather decides whether a drone can fly. Strong wind or heavy rain rules out a flight, because the drone has to stay safely under control. If the weather turns, we’ll agree another day. We check the forecast before the visit and again on site. Light wind and dry weather give the clearest close-up photos. A short delay is better than a rushed flight. If you’ve noticed wind damage high on the roof and debris building up in hidden gutters, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs on upper floors, chimney stacks and valleys and parapet gutters alike.
Somewhere as small as Tyler's Green, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you cannot get from the ground. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Flying and imaging in Tyler's Green
Tyler's Green is about 2 miles from the edge of the flight restriction zone around Redhill Aerodrome. The exact boundary is checked for each address before any flight, and a roof inside it needs permission before we fly. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Steep or complicated roofs are frequently hard to see from the ground, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
Historic houses such as Titsey Place, about 3.9 miles north-east, show how far back building around Tyler's Green goes. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from ground level, and a survey from above or with a thermal imager does not touch the roof itself. The streets around a church such as Church of St Nicholas are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Godstone Village School, big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.

DIY checks: what’s safe
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.

Tyler's Green questions
Is Tyler's Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Tyler's Green is listed?
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.
How do I book a survey in Tyler's Green?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect what can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
How quickly is the report sent?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Reports are sent by email.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
Can you fly a drone in central London?
Parts of central London are restricted, including areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs, where flights need permission from NATS. We check the airspace for your address and apply where needed.
What happens on the day
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Rural addresses near Tyler's Green 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. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You give us the address so we can check the airspace.
- We arrange any permission that is needed before we fly.
- On the day, we check the weather and the site before flying.
- We fly the drone close to the roof to photograph it in detail, always in sight.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Book early if you’re near an airport
- Tell us the exact address as you book
- Shut pets inside while we fly
- Be ready to move the date if the weather turns
If you need work done, roofers can work from the photos. They’ll see exactly where each defect is, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Have high or hard-to-reach roofs surveyed every few years. Regular photos make changes easy to spot, and early repairs keep water out.
What a survey costs
We confirm the price for the job before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- How big the roof is
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details. We will confirm the figure before booking.
What to let us know when you contact us
When you call or email, these details help:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
Why get it checked now?
Photos from a drone survey show how the roof looks today. Next time, you can compare and see what has moved or worn. It helps when you plan ahead. For older village homes like those around Tyler's Green, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
