Drone roof survey in Bagnum, Hampshire
Drone roof surveys in Bagnum, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. You get a clear report with photos.
- Slipped or missing slates on a high roof
- Loose ridge and hip tiles
- Hidden gutters full of leaves
Tips that help
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Allow time for permission if you’re in a flight restriction zone
- Shut pets inside while we fly
- Be ready to move the date if the weather turns
- Tell next door if the drone will be near their property
The Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation to talk through the photographs and findings. It’s a chance to ask about anything in the report.
Look at the roof from ground level after strong winds. Debris in the garden is a sign to act on. A drone can show exactly what has moved.
About our drone roof survey in Bagnum
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. The Premium Survey includes a drone inspection where applicable, with a same-day report, structural analysis and an in-person consultation. It also includes a follow-up after 12 months. If a drone won’t help on your roof, we will say so. Every drone survey comes with a written report and close-up photographs. We survey fragile roofs, large and complex roofs and flat roofs on upper floors, and common reasons people get in touch are tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack and slates or tiles shifted by high winds.
Villages like Bagnum often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. High wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Questions from Bagnum
How do I find out if my home in Bagnum is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover smaller places like Bagnum?
Yes, Bagnum is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How long does the visit take?
On site, it normally takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Time for the pre-flight checks is included.
How soon will I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, let us know when booking.
What do I do with the report?
You’ll get the report by email. With Standard there’s a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation.
What does the report include?
A written report with photographs, covering the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend, by urgency where it matters. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Why get it checked now?
From ground level, you’re guessing about most of a tall roof. Close-up photos show what’s really there, slope by slope. It’s far easier to plan work when you can see the problem. For an older or listed building in a place like Bagnum, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.

Airspace, weather and Bagnum roofs
Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). In the open category, flights stay below 120 m (400 ft) and within sight.
If you look after a building such as Ringwood School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. Historic houses like Avon Tyrrell House, about 1.7 miles south-east, show how far back building around Bagnum goes. Aerial photos and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it.
Bagnum is about 2 miles south-east of Ringwood, in Hampshire. We visit Bagnum as part of our work across Hampshire, for homes and businesses alike. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We also survey roofs in Southampton.
Surveys in BH24 are booked the same way as anywhere else. If you are just outside Bagnum, we cover Crow (1 mile north), Upper Kingston (1 mile north-west), Hightown (1 mile north), Foulford (2 miles north) and Ringwood (2 miles north-west). We also work in nearby towns like Totton (13 miles north-east), Lymington (10 miles south-east), New Milton (6 miles south-east), Barton on Sea (7 miles south-east), Dibden Purlieu (15 miles east) and Marchwood (14 miles east).

Well-known places in the area include St Leonard's Hospital (4.4 miles west). For a walk, there’s St Catherine's Hill and Linbrook Lake.
How it works
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey usually takes about one to two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. For a village or hamlet like Bagnum, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start by making sure a drone flight makes sense for the roof.
- A date is fixed, with a fallback in case the weather turns.
- We fly over the roof, keeping the camera on the property we are surveying.
- We also look inside the loft space where it’s safe.
- You get photos, findings and clear recommendations.
How to prepare
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Find any records of previous roof work

Large commercial roofs
Many commercial roofs have fragile sheets or roof lights. A drone keeps everyone off them.
