Drone roof survey in West Molesey
Tall, steep, large or fragile roofs can’t always be inspected up close. A drone takes close-up photos of those roofs from the air. You see slates, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters in detail, including slopes that can’t be seen from the street. Everything we find goes into a written report with photos. It also suits roofs that would be damaged by someone walking on them. If we cannot fly, we tell you why. We’re often asked to look into coverings that have slipped high up on the roof and wind damage high on the roof, across chimney stacks, flat roofs on upper floors and fragile roofs.
Older cottages and houses around West Molesey may have little insulation, and some have extensions with their own roofs. Thermal patterns and close-up photos together give a fuller picture of the roof. Anything that looks like moisture is checked with a meter. Calm, dry weather suits both methods, so the date is set with the forecast in mind.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. A visit to West Molesey is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We confirm whether a drone suits your roof.
- We agree a date, including weekends, subject to the weather.
- We fly over the roof, keeping the camera on the property we are surveying.
- Where there is safe access, we check the loft as well.
- The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building

Advice
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photos included.
Drones, thermal imaging and West Molesey roofs
The wider area around West Molesey has a long history of building, with Hampton Court Palace about 1.6 miles east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from the ground, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.
Anyone responsible for a site like Chandlers Field Primary School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. The streets around a church like Church of St Peter are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help. For businesses in and around places such as Bentall Centre, big, flat commercial roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help most.

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, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant. That helps you put the work in order. Around West Molesey, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, especially where trees overhang. Dealing with the cause is simple; drying out a wall is not.
For a price for your roof in West Molesey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.

West Molesey: your questions answered
Is West Molesey within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in West Molesey?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. Strong wind or a downpour also stops a small drone flying.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain doesn’t typically stop a survey. Heavy rain or strong wind can ground a drone and make the roof unsafe, so we will agree a new date if the weather is not suitable.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
How much is a survey?
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before you book, based on the roof’s size, access and package. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
The drone shows the outside of the stack, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection. If the flue needs a specialist, we will tell you.
Large commercial roofs
Fragile roof sheets and roof lights can be dangerous to walk on. With a drone, nobody has to go near them.
