Full 4K coverage
Every elevation, ridge, hip, valley and abutment filmed in detail, plus stills of anything that needs attention.
Drone roof surveys in Essex
See your own roof properly. Our 4K drone inspection covers every slope, valley, chimney and gutter without a ladder touching the building, and you get the photos plus a written condition report you can act on — or send to an insurer or solicitor.
What's included
What a drone survey gives you
Written condition report
A plain-English summary of what's sound, what needs watching and what needs fixing now — with photo references.
No scaffold, no ladders
No access cost, no damage risk to render or guttering, and nothing left standing outside your house for a week.
Insurance and claims evidence
Dated aerial evidence of storm damage that insurers accept, captured before any temporary repair covers it up.
Pre-purchase checks
Buying a house? Know what the roof will cost you before you exchange, not eighteen months after.
Landlord and portfolio checks
Quick annual condition checks across multiple properties without disturbing tenants.

Common questions
Drone roof survey FAQs
- How much does a drone roof survey cost in Essex?
- £150 for a standard house including the written report and photos, and we credit that against any repair work you book with us.
- How long does the survey take?
- Around 30–45 minutes on site, with the report and images sent through within 24 hours.
- Do you need permission to fly over my house?
- We fly within CAA rules and only need the property owner's consent. We'll check airspace restrictions before booking.
- Can a drone find a leak?
- It finds the fault that causes the leak — slipped tiles, failed flashings, split valleys — far more reliably than looking from the ground. We combine it with a loft check where the leak shows internally.
