About our drone roof survey in Ufton Nervet
A drone can see more than your roof, so we take care. The camera stays on your roof, not on neighbouring homes and gardens. If your roof is joined to a neighbour’s, it’s worth letting them know about the visit. We survey the roof you’ve asked us to look at. Each flight is kept short and stays focused on the roof we are there to survey. We survey valleys and parapet gutters, flat roofs on upper floors and large and complex roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked slates and tiles out of sight from below and outlets choked with leaves and silt.
Older buildings in small places like Ufton Nervet may be listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera does not touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
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.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Questions from Ufton Nervet
Will you come out to Ufton Nervet?
Yes, Ufton Nervet is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are there drone restrictions around Ufton Nervet?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t normally stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we’ll agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.

How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Rural addresses near Ufton Nervet 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.
- First, we check whether a drone is the right tool.
- We agree a date, including weekends, subject to the weather.
- Aerial photos are taken of your roof only, not the neighbours’.
- We also look inside the roof space where it is safe.
- You get photos, findings and clear recommendations.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Find any records of previous roof work

What a drone roof survey doesn’t cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Flights in a restricted zone without permission
- A structural engineer’s report
- Neighbouring roofs the owner hasn’t asked us to survey
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will recommend the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
What this survey covers
- Tall and steep roofs
- Flat roofs on upper floors
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Chimney stacks
- Fragile roofs
- Large and complex roofs
Signs you need a drone roof survey in Ufton Nervet
Hidden gutters and valleys are easy to overlook. Debris collects where nobody looks, until water overflows inside. From above, they’re easy to see.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Cracked slates and tiles out of sight from below
- Worn lead at chimneys and walls
- Vegetation in valleys and gutters
- Blistered or cracked flat roof coverings
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.
