Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Wishanger Common
Tall, steep, large or fragile roofs cannot always be inspected up close. A drone takes close-up photographs of those roofs from the air. It shows coverings, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters clearly. The photos go into a written report. It also suits roofs that would be damaged by someone walking on them. If we can’t fly, we tell you why. We survey chimney stacks, fragile roofs and large and complex roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are ponding and splits on a high flat roof and blocked valleys and parapet gutters.
Villages like Wishanger Common often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Common questions in Wishanger Common
Is my home in Wishanger Common listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover smaller places like Wishanger Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long does a drone roof survey take?
It usually takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Time for the pre-flight checks is included.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
What about my neighbours’ privacy?
We point the camera at your roof only. Next door’s windows and gardens are kept out of shot as far as possible. It is useful to tell neighbours beforehand.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
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. Notes and photographs go into the written report. The visit usually takes about one to two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older rural homes like those around Wishanger Common can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start by checking the airspace and any restrictions at your address.
- We arrange any permission that is needed before we fly.
- Before the flight, we check the conditions and the take-off spot.
- We fly the drone close to the roof to photograph it in detail, always in sight.
- Your report arrives by email, with close-up photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Why act early in Wishanger Common
On a tall building, problems are frequently found only when water comes in. By that stage the damage has spread inside. Looking from above picks up the early signs. In a small place like Wishanger Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.

What affects the cost of drone roof surveys
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- How big the roof is

- What made you get in touch
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange

Drones, thermal imaging and Wishanger Common roofs
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
If you live in an older home near St John the Evangelist, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.
