Is the Drone Survey a Professional Surveyor’s Report?

Please note: this is not a professional survey. The AI-generated report provides helpful insights into the visible condition of your roof, but it should not be used as a substitute for a formal inspection.

If you need a structural assessment or a report for legal or insurance purposes, we recommend speaking to a chartered surveyor.

How Much Does a Checkatrade Drone Survey Cost?

Prices start from £99 + VAT, making it one of the most cost-effective ways to check your roof. The final price may vary depending on the size and complexity of your roof.

What If My Report Finds an Issue?

If your survey highlights concerns, you’ll be directed to vetted roofers on Checkatrade who can provide quotes for any necessary work.

How Often Should I Get My Roof Checked?

We recommend two roof checks a year:

• Once before winter

• Once after winter

This helps catch issues early and keep your roof in good shape.
