Drone roof survey in West Green
Drone surveys suit tall houses, blocks of flats, steep roofs and large commercial roofs. They’re useful where walking on the roof could damage it or isn’t safe. You get close-up views without anyone setting foot on the roof. We check the airspace for your address before the visit. If a drone isn’t the right tool, we’ll say so. If you’ve noticed plant growth and moss on the roof and ridge pieces that have lifted, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like West Green, 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 the ground. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Before and after the survey
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Move stored items away from the hatch
- Keep dogs indoors during the visit
- Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
- Allow time for permission if you are in a flight restriction zone
The report gives any roofer you ask to quote a clear brief. The photos show the location and extent of every problem.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear, particularly in autumn. On high roofs, leave clearing to a professional. Blocked hidden gutters cause many leaks.
What affects the price in West Green
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The size of the roof
- Height and safe access
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £400, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- The property’s address and postcode
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or email us, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
What a drone roof survey does not cover
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Photos in conditions too poor to fly
- Roofs and gardens beyond the one we are surveying
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will suggest the right survey. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers

- Fragile roofs
Drones, thermal imaging and West Green roofs
The drone we use is under 250g, flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID. In the open category, flights stay below 120 m (400 ft) and within sight. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions.
For businesses in and around places like Hart Shopping Centre, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it. Take an older house close to St Mary's Church: steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps. Take a building like Greenfields Junior School: a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
What we look for on each type of roof
Large commercial roofs
Fragile roof sheets and roof lights can be dangerous to walk on. A drone keeps everyone off them.
Flat roofs on tall buildings
The flat roof on top of a block is rarely looked at. A drone shows ponding, splits, blisters and worn upstands.
