What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Roof area
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

- When you need the report by
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage

Drone roof survey in Upper Eashing
From the air, the outer surfaces are clear, but it cannot see under the coverings or into the loft. We check the loft from inside where it is safe, since that’s where leaks and condensation often show first. Inside and out together tell you far more. The report sets out what the drone showed and what we found inside. Where the loft cannot be reached safely, we note it. If you are worried about cracked mortar along the ridge and cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Older buildings in small places like Upper Eashing may be listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

For landlords and managing agents
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
Drone roof surveys around Upper Eashing
Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
With Loseley Park about 2.7 miles north-east, the area around Upper Eashing has a long history. Aerial photos and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it. If you live in an older home near St Mark's Church and Community Centre, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps. Take a building like St Mark and All Saints Church of England Primary: a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
The drone shows the outside of the stack, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection. We will say if a specialist is needed.
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Leaks frequently start at outlets, edges and around plant. They’re all captured in close-up.
How the survey works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older roofs in small places like Upper Eashing can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We confirm whether a drone suits your roof.
- A date is fixed, with a fallback in case the weather turns.
- We fly over the roof, keeping the camera on the property we are surveying.
- We also look inside the loft space where it’s safe.
- You get photos, findings and clear recommendations.
Before we arrive
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Let us know about parking near the property

Common questions in Upper Eashing
Is Upper Eashing within the area you cover?
Yes, Upper Eashing is covered. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is drone flying allowed in Upper Eashing?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. High wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take about one to two hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £400, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. We’ll rearrange with you if the weather is not right.
What’s in the survey report?
A report with photographs, covering the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend, in order of urgency where relevant. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding.
Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Clear the loft hatch so we can check inside too
- Tell next door if the drone will be near their property
- Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
- Tell us about any leaks or concerns
Keep the photos with your property records. They’re a useful baseline for future surveys, and they help if you sell.
After a storm, check from the garden and the street. Debris in the garden is a sign to act on. A drone survey can show what has shifted.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaving a high roof unchecked means relying on what you can see from below. A drone replaces that guesswork with clear photographs. It is far easier to plan work when you can see the problem. For an older or listed building in a place like Upper Eashing, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
