A city built in layers

From Historic London to Hills, Heaths and Suburbs

Roof Hawk has completed hundreds of drone roof surveys across South East London, working with homeowners, buyers, surveyors, property managers, contractors and larger organisations across the area.

Victorian terraces, converted houses and social housing in Peckham, Bermondsey and Deptford give way to Georgian Greenwich and Blackheath, the hills around Forest Hill and Crystal Palace, and the suburban streets of Bromley, Bexley and Croydon.

The hills and heaths make South East London one of the most interesting parts of the city to see from the air. The roofs change street by street, from Victorian slate and chimney stacks to estates, schools and larger commercial buildings.

How it works

See the Areas You Can’t See From the Ground

A drone roof survey gives you a close, detailed view of the parts of a roof that are difficult to inspect from below.

Read more

One of our CAA-qualified pilots carefully captures the roof and any areas you want us to look at using high-quality professional drones. You receive clear 4K video and still images, ready to review and share.

No ladders or scaffolding simply to get a view, and no need for someone to risk damaging the roof by walking across it just to inspect it. We take care of the flight planning and permissions too, including restricted flight zones across London.

  • See the detail

    Get close views of roof coverings, chimneys, gutters, flashings, flat roofs, parapet walls and building facades, including areas that are difficult to inspect from the ground.

  • Share what you can see

    Easily share the imagery with your roofer, surveyor, insurer, colleague or contractor through a simple link, so everyone can work from the same clear view.

  • Get the right advice

    We can provide the imagery on its own, or arrange professional review by an experienced roofing contractor or chartered surveyor, depending on what you need.

What types of buildings can you survey?

Do I need to be at the property?

Usually not. For many surveys we can operate from the street or another suitable nearby position, so you do not necessarily need to be at the property when we attend.

How quickly can you arrange a survey?

We can arrange surveys quickly, subject to weather, location and any required flight permissions. If you are working to a particular deadline or the problem is urgent, tell us when you enquire and we’ll do our best to work around it.
