Drone roof survey in Aldershot
Drone roof surveys are available in Aldershot and throughout London and the South East, where the airspace and the weather allow. We fly on weekdays and at weekends. We check the airspace for your address before booking a flight. The report includes the drone photos and our recommendations. To check whether your roof suits a drone survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. If you’ve noticed standing water on a flat roof and blocked valleys and parapet gutters, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
For a town like Aldershot, every drone flight starts with a check of the Drone Safety Map, which shows restriction zones around airports and prisons. Our drone weighs under 250g, and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Neighbours’ privacy is part of planning every flight. In the open category, flights stay under 120 m (400 ft) with the drone in sight.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving a high roof unchecked means relying on what you can see from below. A drone replaces that guesswork with clear photos. It’s far easier to plan work when you can see the problem. A defect spotted early can be planned and budgeted for, while one found after water comes through usually has to be dealt with in a hurry.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for the job before you book.

What happens on the day
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. In Aldershot, many roofs join a neighbour’s, so we look at what can be seen of the shared parts from your side. It helps to know about previous repairs, leaks or recent work, so time on site goes where it is needed.
- You give us the address so we can check the airspace.
- Where a flight restriction zone or restricted area applies, we seek permission first.
- We assess the wind, the weather and the surroundings before take-off.
- We fly the drone close to the roof to photograph it in detail, always in sight.
- Your report arrives by email, with close-up photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Book a survey
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
Drone roof surveys around Aldershot
Aldershot is about 3 miles from Farnborough Airport, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up photos from the air and thermal images help.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of the Holy Trinity, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image. With Farnham Castle about 2.7 miles south-west, the area around Aldershot has a long history. Close-up aerial shots and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it.

Questions from Aldershot
Is drone flying allowed in Aldershot?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Farnborough Airport is about 3 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Do you cover Aldershot?
Yes, Aldershot is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we do not carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
What will the report tell me?
Written findings with photographs, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. Surveys run seven days a week.
What happens next?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
Signs you need a drone roof survey in Aldershot
Hidden gutters and valleys are easy to overlook. Debris collects where nobody looks, until it causes a leak inside. A drone shows them clearly from above.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Storm damage on steep or tall roofs
- Flat roofs on upper floors that hold water
- Debris building up in hidden gutters
- Tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Talavera Junior School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
Before booking anyone
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What follow-up you get after the report
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
The drone shows the outside of the stack, and it is not a flue or gas safety check. We’ll say if a specialist is needed.
Valleys and parapet gutters
When a parapet outlet blocks, water can come inside. Outlets and any debris around them are photographed.
