Drone roof survey in Baughurst: what you get
Drones need reasonable weather. Strong wind or a downpour rules out a flight, because control and safety come first. If the day turns out unsuitable, we’ll talk about another date. The forecast is checked ahead of the visit and again on the day. Light wind and dry weather give the clearest close-up photos. A short delay is better than a rushed flight. If you are worried about moss and weeds taking hold up top and debris building up in hidden gutters, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Villages like Baughurst frequently 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. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

How the survey changes by roof type
Ridges and hips
Wind lifts loose ridge and hip tiles. Spotting them early stops them falling.
Chimney stacks
Chimney tops are hard to see from ground level. Close-up photos show the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings, so cracks and gaps are clear.

What else we do in Baughurst
Can I check my roof myself?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

Flying and imaging in Baughurst
Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Historic houses such as The Vyne, about 4.6 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Baughurst goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
The streets around a church such as Saint Mary's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Hurst School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Baughurst is about 1 mile west of Tadley, in Hampshire. We cover Baughurst and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across London and the South East. Across Hampshire, we cover Baughurst. Reading is in our area too.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Baughurst
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photos included.
The survey, step by step
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Baughurst can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We confirm whether a drone suits your roof.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday, weather permitting.
- We fly over the roof, keeping the camera on the property we’re surveying.
- Where there’s safe access, we check the loft as well.
- The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Keep pets in another room

Advice
What affects the price in Baughurst
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- House, block, shop or office
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Roof area
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Our price is from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.
Booking your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- What made you get in touch
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Tell next door if the drone will be near their property
- Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
- Allow time for permission if you’re in a flight restriction zone
- Expect us to rearrange if it is too windy or wet
We email the report to you, with close-up photos from the flight. Findings are set out in plain English, and recommendations are ranked by urgency where that helps.
Keep the roof space ventilated. Condensation in the loft can damage timbers and insulation, and it’s something only an inside check will show. Keep insulation clear of the eaves.
