How a drone roof survey works in Wigginton
Prices start from £400, including VAT. A drone inspection, where it applies, is also part of our Premium Survey, with a same-day report, structural analysis and an in-person consultation. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. We’ll tell you if a drone isn’t the right tool for your roof. Every drone survey comes with a written report and close-up photos. If you’ve noticed tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack and blocked valleys and parapet gutters, we can find out what’s behind it, on large and complex roofs, valleys and parapet gutters and chimney stacks alike.
In a small place like Wigginton, open ground can mean strong wind. Strong wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey typically takes an hour or two at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Wigginton, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- You give us the address and tell us about the roof.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- We assess the conditions and the take-off spot first.
- Close-up photos are taken of each slope, chimney, valley and gutter, with the drone always in view.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Common roof problems in Wigginton
Many roofs are never seen properly from ground level. Rear slopes, valleys and the tops of chimneys are hidden. Faults there can go unnoticed for years, which is why owners turn to a drone.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Moss and weeds taking hold up top
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Storm damage on steep or tall roofs
- Flashings that have come away
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of Saint Giles, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Before you book anyone
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Your questions about drone roof surveys in Wigginton
Do you cover smaller places like Wigginton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Wigginton?
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. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Can you survey in bad weather?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drones cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions aren’t right, we will talk to you about another date.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How long will you be at the property?
It usually takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. The written report follows by email.
Different roofs, different checks
Valleys and parapet gutters
Valleys and parapet gutters are hidden from the street. A drone shows linings, joints and build-ups of debris.
Large commercial roofs
Large commercial roofs cover a lot of ground. The drone covers the roof area by area, so nothing is skipped.
