A city built in layers

From Inner London Streets to Riverside and Suburbs

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

Victorian terraces, mansion blocks and social housing in Battersea, Clapham and Brixton give way to the riverside streets of Putney and Barnes, the town centres of Richmond and Kingston, and the larger suburban homes of Wimbledon and Sutton.

With the Thames running through it, South West London has a character of its own, and it is a part of the city we love working across. Dense terraces with complex rear roofs in the inner neighbourhoods open out into larger and more varied roofs further from the centre.

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.

London airspace

All Permissions Handled for You

Some parts of South West London can involve more complex aviation requirements, particularly around London Heliport at Battersea and other controlled London airspace. The exact requirements depend on the individual property and flight location.

Roof Hawk has extensive experience planning work across London. Where National Air Traffic Services (NATS), heliport or other aviation permissions are required, we handle the flight planning and application process as part of the job.

Send us the address and what you need to understand, and we will work out the appropriate way to carry out the survey.

What types of buildings can you survey?

Roof Hawk surveys everything from individual houses and flats to managed blocks, social housing, offices, commercial buildings, historic and complex properties and large property portfolios.

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.

Can you fly around Battersea and the London Heliport?

Yes, subject to the requirements of the specific location. Where NATS, heliport or other aviation permissions are required, Roof Hawk handles the flight planning and application process as part of the job.

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.
