Drone Roof Inspection in Dorking
A drone roof inspection is a visual survey of a roof's condition — tiles, flashing, guttering, valleys and chimneys — carried out by our CAA-registered drone pilot and recorded as photos and video, without the cost, time or access disruption of scaffolding or ladders.
In Dorking, that covers Westcott, Milton Heath, Pixham, Ranmore, North Holmwood, Betchworth. Dorking is a historic market town at the foot of Box Hill and the North Downs, within the Surrey Hills National Landscape, with a well-preserved High Street and a range of period and character properties in the surrounding villages.

FAQs
Drone Roof Inspection in Dorking: FAQs
Do you provide drone roof inspection across all of Dorking?

Is your drone pilot CAA registered?
Yes, our drone roof inspections are carried out by our own CAA-registered pilot, flying our own equipment — not a third-party subcontractor.
Can you fly near Gatwick or other controlled airspace?
It depends on the exact location — properties inside a flight restriction zone may need additional CAA permission or may not be flyable at all. We check this before booking rather than after, so you know upfront whether a survey is possible for your property.
Can barns near Dorking be converted to residential use?
It depends on the specific planning history and policy for the building, including whether Class Q permitted development rights apply. This is assessed individually for each building.
