Drone roof survey in Weedon: what you get
Before any flight, we check the airspace. Near protected airports such as Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton, flight restriction zones mean permission is needed first. Central London has restricted areas of its own, which need NATS permission. If permission is not given, we inspect by other means and tell you. Prison sites also have drone restriction zones. We survey tall and steep roofs, large and complex roofs and flat roofs on upper floors, and the problems we are asked to look at most are moss building up on slopes and in gutters and ridge and hip pieces working loose.
In a village or hamlet like Weedon, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you cannot get from ground level. Weather and airspace are checked before the visit. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Weedon: your questions answered
Is drone flying allowed in Weedon?
Typically 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. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Is my home in Weedon listed or in a conservation area?
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.
How do I arrange a drone roof survey in Weedon?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we are not structural engineers and don’t carry out calculations. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
How much is a survey?
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. We will confirm the timing when you book.

What else we do in Weedon
Landlord and commercial surveys in Weedon
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Why get it checked now?
It is hard to plan maintenance for a roof nobody has looked at. Our report shows the condition of each area. That helps you put the work in order. For older village homes like those around Weedon, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.

Drones, thermal imaging and Weedon roofs
We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Flights in the open category stay under 120 m (400 ft), with the drone kept in sight. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Friars Square, big, flat commercial roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help most. The streets around a church such as Old School Room Chapel are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help. Take a building like Old School Room Chapel: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Let neighbours know about the flight if your roof is shared
- Book early if you are near an airport
- Clear a spot on the drive or lawn
- Be ready to move the date if the weather turns
Premium also includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows whether anything has moved or worn since the first visit, and whether work has done its job.
Plan a drone survey every few years for tall or large roofs. Comparing surveys shows what is wearing, and early repairs keep water out.
How we price drone roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £400, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
These details help when you contact us:
- When you need the report by
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The property’s address and postcode
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll point you to the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
Different roofs, different checks
Steep slate and tile slopes
Steep slopes are hard to inspect safely on foot. From the air, every course of slates or tiles can be seen, showing slipped, cracked and missing pieces.
Large commercial roofs
Large commercial roofs cover a lot of ground. The drone covers the roof area by area.
How the survey works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey typically takes an hour or two at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older roofs in small places like Weedon can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with the address and what you’d like checked.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where needed.
- Before take-off, the wind, the weather and the launch spot are looked at.
- The drone photographs the roof closely, kept in sight throughout.
- You receive a written report with the photos and our recommendations.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Booking a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
