Wadwick: your questions answered
Is Wadwick within the area you cover?
Yes, Wadwick is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wadwick?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
How do I arrange a drone roof survey in Wadwick?
Simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
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 inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
What about my neighbours’ privacy?
The camera stays on your roof. We only survey what the owner has asked us to. A word with next door beforehand is a good idea.
How long does the visit take?
On site, it normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. That includes the checks before the drone goes up.
What happens after the survey?
You will get the report by email, with photographs and clear recommendations. With Standard there’s a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation.
Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Wadwick
Tall, steep, large or fragile roofs cannot always be inspected up close. Our drone roof survey gets a camera close to them without anyone climbing. It shows coverings, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters clearly, including slopes that can’t be seen from the street. Everything we find goes into a written report with photos. It is also a good option where walking on the roof could break slates or tiles. If we cannot fly, we tell you why. If you’ve noticed gaps where slates or tiles have gone and outlets choked with leaves and silt, we can find out what’s behind it, on large and complex roofs, fragile roofs and flat roofs on upper floors alike.
Older buildings in small places like Wadwick may be listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

What this survey cannot tell you
It is useful to know what a survey won’t do before booking:
- Roofs and gardens beyond the one we are surveying
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
- A flight on a day when the weather is not safe
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

- Large and complex roofs
- Fragile roofs
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Tall and steep roofs
- Flat roofs on upper floors
How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes an hour or two for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. Older roofs in small places like Wadwick 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.
- First, we check whether a drone is the right tool.
- A date is fixed, with a fallback in case the weather turns.
- We fly over the roof, keeping the camera on the property we’re surveying.
- We also look inside the loft space where it’s safe.
- Everything is written up, with the aerial photos and our advice.
Before we arrive
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Check pets are kept safely away

Useful tips for Wadwick property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
- Let us know the exact address when booking
- A word with neighbours beforehand helps
- Mention anything you’ve noticed on the roof
Premium also includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see how the roof has changed over the year.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear, ideally once the leaves have fallen. On tall buildings, use a professional with the right access equipment. Many leaks start with a blocked outlet.
Signs you need a drone roof survey in Wadwick
Many roofs are never seen properly from ground level. You cannot see the back slope, the valleys or the chimney tops. Faults there can go unnoticed for years.
People usually book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Flashings that have come away
- Storm damage on steep or tall roofs
- Ridge pieces that have lifted
In and around Wadwick, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Will the report include photos?
- What the survey will not cover
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
