Wiggonholt Drone Roof Survey
Get a clear view of the roof at a property in Wiggonholt. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Lifted or split lead flashings
- Vegetation in valleys and gutters
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
About our drone roof survey in Wiggonholt
We carry out drone roof surveys in Wiggonholt and across London and South East England, where the airspace and the weather allow. We fly on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Every address is checked for airspace restrictions first. The report includes the drone photos and our recommendations. To check whether your roof suits a drone survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. If you are worried about debris building up in hidden gutters and coverings that have slipped high up on the roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on fragile roofs, chimney stacks and flat roofs on upper floors alike.
In a village or hamlet like Wiggonholt, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Weather and airspace are looked at ahead of the visit. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What a drone roof survey looks like in Wiggonholt
Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Parham House, about 1.5 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wiggonholt. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
The streets around a church such as Wiggonholt Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Wiggonholt is about 2 miles north-west of Storrington, in West Sussex. We visit Wiggonholt as part of our work across West Sussex. Wiggonholt is one of the towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. We also survey roofs in Brighton.
All of RH20 is covered for drone roof surveys. Nearby, we also carry out drone roof surveys in Marehill (1 mile north), West Chiltington Common (1 mile east), Cootham (2 miles south-east), Nutbourne (2 miles north-east) and Broomershill (2 miles north). We also work in nearby towns like Horsham (11 miles north-east), Worthing (9 miles south-east), Bognor Regis (13 miles south-west), Chichester (14 miles south-west), Littlehampton (9 miles south) and Shoreham-by-Sea (12 miles south-east).
What’s near Wiggonholt
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Parham Park. For rail, the closest station is Pulborough station, roughly 1.8 miles north-west. A little further out are The Storrington And District Museum (2.3 miles south-east) and Amberley Castle (3.1 miles south-west). Open spaces near Wiggonholt include Amberley Wildbrooks RSPB Reserve.
What happens if roof problems are left?
From ground level, you are guessing about most of a tall roof. A drone replaces that guesswork with clear photos, slope by slope. Seeing the problem makes it easier to decide what to do. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Why book with us

Common questions in Wiggonholt
Are there drone restrictions around Wiggonholt?
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.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wiggonholt?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you work in Wiggonholt?
Yes. We cover Wiggonholt and the rest of West Sussex, as part of our work across London and the South East. To book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access when booking.
What do I do with the report?
The report comes by email, and what you do next is up to you: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
How we price drone roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
Prices start from £400, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.
What to let us know when you get in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- What’s prompted the survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

What else we do in Wiggonholt
When you need someone else
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Flights in strong wind or heavy rain

- Roofs and gardens beyond the one we are surveying
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you before you book. What our survey covers.
What this survey covers
- Fragile roofs
- Large and complex roofs
- Flat roofs on upper floors
- Tall and steep roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Valleys and parapet gutters
Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
From the air, a lean or a loose pot is easy to see. Each defect is photographed for the report.
Ridges and hips
Loose ridge pieces can be lifted in a storm. Finding them early keeps them from coming down.
How it works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes between one and two hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere like Wiggonholt needs a little journey planning: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- You give us the address so we can check the airspace.
- 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.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Jot down any questions you want answered
