Wisborough Green Drone Roof Survey
Drone roof surveys in Wisborough Green from an independent, experienced roof surveyor. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Ridge pieces that have lifted
- Storm damage on steep or tall roofs
- Flashings that have come away
What a survey costs
We confirm the price for your survey before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Roof area
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Prices start from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
Helping us price your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- The address and postcode of the property
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What made you get in touch
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Drone roof survey in Wisborough Green
Prices start from £400, including VAT. A drone inspection, where it applies, is also part of our Premium Survey, along with structural analysis, a same-day report and an in-person consultation. It also includes a follow-up after 12 months. If a drone won’t help on your roof, we’ll say so. You get a written report with the close-up photos from the flight. If you are worried about flashings that have come away and slates or tiles shifted by high winds, we can find out what’s behind it.
Some older homes in villages like Wisborough Green are listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera does not touch the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Useful tips for Wisborough Green property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Allow time for permission if you are in a flight restriction zone
- Let us know what you want to see
- Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
- Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
We email the report to you, with close-up photos from the flight. Findings are set out in plain English, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant.
Don’t block the vents at the eaves. Poor airflow lets condensation build up, and it is something only an inside check will show. Make sure insulation does not block the airflow.
How the survey works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere like Wisborough Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- First comes the address, plus a note of what worries you about the roof.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- Before take-off, the wind, the weather and the launch spot are checked.
- We fly the sub-250g drone close to the roof and photograph each area.
- You receive a written report with the photos and our recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Let us know where we can park nearby

Advice
Drones, thermal imaging and Wisborough Green roofs
Historic houses like Old Place Manor, about 4.4 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Wisborough Green goes. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
The streets around a church like The Parish Church of St Peter Ad Vincula are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help. If you look after a building like Wisborough Green Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Checking the roof from ground level
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Your questions about drone roof surveys in Wisborough Green
Is Wisborough Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Wisborough Green is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How do I find out if my home in Wisborough Green is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.
What does the report include?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photographs throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Is a drone roof survey a thermal survey?
The drone survey is a photographic inspection. Thermal imaging is a separate check, included in our Premium Survey.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
