Wexham Street Drone Roof Survey
Not sure what state the roof is in? We carry out drone roof surveys in Wexham Street and across Slough.
- Debris building up in hidden gutters
- Storm damage on steep or tall roofs
- Blistered or cracked flat roof coverings
How it works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there is safe access. All told, expect an hour or two at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Older roofs in small places like Wexham Street can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start by checking the airspace and any restrictions at your address.
- Where a flight restriction zone or restricted area applies, we seek permission first.
- Before the flight, we check the conditions and the take-off spot.
- The drone captures close-up photos of the coverings, chimneys, valleys and gutters.
- We email a written report with the photographs and our recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey

About our drone roof survey in Wexham Street
Some roofs are hard or unsafe to reach. Our drone roof survey gets a camera close to them without anyone climbing. 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 photo-illustrated written report. It is also a good option where walking on the roof could break slates or tiles. Where a flight is not possible, we explain why. If you’re worried about ridge pieces that have lifted and blocked valleys and parapet gutters, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Wexham Street, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from ground level. Weather and airspace are checked before the visit, and the journey is planned beforehand. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Drone roof surveys in Wexham Street: local notes
Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. With Windsor Castle about 4.3 miles south, Wexham Street sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
Anyone responsible for a site like Khalsa Secondary Academy will know that a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. If you run a business near The Pavilions, big, flat commercial roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help most. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Andrew's Church Centre, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Small defects on a high roof grow with each storm. Finding them now means less to put right, whatever height the roof is. In a place like Wexham Street, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

Roof by roof
Valleys and parapet gutters
Valleys and parapet gutters are hidden from the street. A drone shows linings, joints and build-ups of debris.
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.
How we price drone roof surveys
We confirm the price for the job before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the roof
- Which survey package you book
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- House, block, shop or office
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- What’s prompted the survey
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The kind of building and roof involved
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What we cannot see
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- A structural engineer’s report
- Flights in high wind or heavy rain
- Close-up photos of next door’s property

Wexham Street questions
Do you cover smaller places like Wexham Street?
Yes. Wexham Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Wexham Street?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. High wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain does not typically stop a survey, and it can even help show where water is getting in. Strong wind or heavy rain can stop drone flights and make roof access unsafe, so if conditions are not right we’ll arrange another day with you.
Will I get photos?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found, so you can see each point for yourself.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when booking.
How do I arrange a drone roof survey in Wexham Street?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
When does the report arrive?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Checking the roof from ground level
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
