Drone Roof Survey in Bedhampton
Drone roof surveys in Bedhampton, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. You get a clear report with photographs.
- Flashings that have come away
- Damage after a storm that cannot be seen from below
- Blistered or cracked flat roof coverings
How it works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. In a smaller place like Bedhampton, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- We confirm whether a drone suits your roof.
- A date is fixed, with a fallback in case the weather turns.
- Aerial photos are taken of your roof only, not the neighbours’.
- If the loft can be reached safely, it is checked too.
- You get photos, findings and clear recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in

Drone roof survey in Bedhampton: what you get
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The Premium Survey includes a drone inspection where it applies, along with structural analysis, a same-day report and an in-person consultation. There is a 12-month follow-up as well. If a drone will not help on your roof, we’ll say so. Every drone survey comes with a written report and close-up photos. We survey fragile roofs, valleys and parapet gutters and flat roofs on upper floors, and people most often book us about moss building up on slopes and in gutters and coverings that have slipped high up on the roof.
Around Bedhampton, plenty of roofs are low enough to see partly from the garden or the street. Chimney tops, valleys and rear slopes are where close-up or thermal images help most. The forecast decides the day. Close-up images frequently show wear on ridges, verges and flashings that cannot be judged properly from the ground.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Useful tips for Bedhampton property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
- Let us know what you want to see
- Tell next door if the drone will be near their property
- Keep pets indoors during the flight
Keep the photos with your property records. They give you something to compare against later, and they help if you sell.
Have leaves and moss cleared from gutters, valleys and outlets, ideally once the leaves have fallen. On tall buildings, use a professional with the right access equipment. Blocked hidden gutters cause many leaks.
Bedhampton: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bedhampton?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Bedhampton within the area you cover?
Yes, Bedhampton is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or send 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 on weekdays and at weekends.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We’re roof surveyors, not structural engineers, and it does not include calculations. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Can you fly a drone near an airport?
Flight restriction zones around protected airports need permission from the airport or air traffic control before any flight. We check your address and ask for permission where it’s required. If we can’t fly, we use other safe vantage points.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Let us know your preferred days when you book.

What happens if roof problems are left?
A drone survey disturbs nothing on the roof. Fragile slates and tiles stay as they are, so you see the roof exactly as it is. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Bedhampton, so it’s useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Why us?
- Plain-English reports with photos
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- Visits on any day of the week

Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Bedhampton
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. A report with photographs gives you a clear record of the roof.
When to book a survey in Bedhampton
Strong winds can lift slates, tiles and ridge pieces. Damage on a high or steep roof is hard to judge from the garden. Close-up photos make it clear what has been disturbed.
We are often asked to look at:
- Damage after a storm that cannot be seen from below
- Moss and weeds taking hold up top
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Blocked valleys and parapet gutters
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Nicholas Church, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
Airspace, weather and Bedhampton roofs
Bedhampton lies within about 1 mile of the sea, and wind near the sea can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, so the weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions.
Warblington Castle lies about 1.7 miles south-east, so building around Bedhampton goes back a long way. Close-up aerial shots and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it. Anyone responsible for a site like Bidbury Junior School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
