About our drone roof survey in Blendworth
We fly a sub-250g drone, and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator, with a Flyer ID and an Operator ID. We keep it in sight throughout, and within the 120-metre limit that applies to all drones in the open category. Every flight is planned around the roof, the site and the people nearby. Before every flight, we check the airspace and the weather. We never fly where it is not safe. If you’re worried about coverings that have slipped high up on the roof and lifted or split lead flashings, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Some older homes in villages like Blendworth are listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Blendworth
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the addresses.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Outlets, edges and roof plant are common problem areas. They’re all captured in close-up, as far as the flight allows.
Valleys and parapet gutters
A butterfly roof drains to a central valley gutter. It’s almost impossible to see from ground level, but a drone shows it clearly.

What this survey can’t tell you
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:

Airspace, weather and Blendworth roofs
Blendworth lies within about 5 miles of the sea, where wind off the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from the ground, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
With Uppark about 4.8 miles north-east, the area around Blendworth has a long history. For older roofs nearby, a look by drone or thermal camera is a hands-off way to check condition. If you look after a building such as Horndean Church of England Junior School, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.
Blendworth is about 1 mile north-east of Horndean, in Hampshire. Blendworth is part of the area we cover and the surrounding area as part of our work across London and South East England. Blendworth is one of the places in Hampshire we cover. We also survey roofs in Portsmouth.

Why get it checked now?
Photos from a drone survey show how the roof looks today. Comparing them with later photos shows what has changed. It is useful for planning maintenance over the years. In a place like Blendworth, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

FAQs for Blendworth
Will you come out to Blendworth?
Yes. Blendworth is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Blendworth?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when you book.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Do you hold CAA registration for the drone?
Yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. We fly a sub-250g drone and keep it in sight at all times.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photos are part of every report.
When to book a survey in Blendworth
Parapet gutters, box gutters and central valleys sit out of sight. Debris collects where nobody looks, until water overflows inside. From above, they’re easy to see.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Ridge pieces that have lifted
- Hidden gutters full of leaves
- Worn lead at chimneys and walls
- Damage after a storm that can’t be seen from below
The streets around a church such as Church of the Holy Trinity are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
What to check before booking
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Whether VAT is added on top
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
What happens on the day
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes an hour or two for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. Cottages and farmhouses around Blendworth often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- 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.
- Aerial photos are taken of your roof only, not the neighbours’.
- We also look inside the roof space where it’s safe.
- You get photos, findings and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
