Drone roof survey in Blissford: what you get
Neighbours’ privacy matters on every flight. We keep the camera on the roof we are surveying, not on gardens or windows next door. If your roof is joined to a neighbour’s, it is worth letting them know about the visit. We survey the roof you’ve asked us to look at. Each flight is kept short and stays focused on the roof we’re there to survey. We’re often asked to look into loose ridge and hip tiles and lifted or split lead flashings, on tall and steep roofs, chimney stacks and valleys and parapet gutters.
In a small place like Blissford, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

What a survey costs
We confirm the exact price before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
All our prices include VAT. Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.
Helping us price your survey
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you get in touch, it is useful to mention:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- What’s prompted the survey
- The property’s address and postcode
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
What this survey can’t tell you
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- The underside of the roof (that needs an inside check)
- Photos in conditions too poor to fly

Practical tips
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
- Move stored items away from the hatch
- Keep pets indoors during the flight
- Allow for a change of day in poor weather
You get an in-person consultation with the Premium Survey to go through what the drone showed. It’s a chance to ask about anything in the report.
After a storm, check from the garden and the street. Pieces of slate or tile on the ground mean something has moved. A drone survey can show what has shifted.
Drone roof surveys around Blissford
We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Open category rules keep flights below 120 m (400 ft) and the drone within sight at all times. 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. Steep or complicated roofs are frequently hard to see from the ground, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
If you look after a building such as Hyde Church of England Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. Historic houses such as Breamore House, about 3.8 miles north, show how far back building around Blissford goes. For older roofs nearby, a look by drone or thermal camera is a hands-off way to check condition.

Common questions in Blissford
How do I find out if my home in Blissford is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is drone flying allowed in Blissford?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. Strong wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
How much does a drone roof survey cost in Blissford?
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Signs you need a drone roof survey in Blissford
Walking on some roofs does more harm than good. Older slates and tiles break easily, and some sheet roofs are fragile. With a drone, the roof is photographed without anyone stepping on it.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Lifted or split lead flashings
- Wind damage high on the roof
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots
If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Ascension, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

The survey, step by step
It helps 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 a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Blissford, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You give us the address and let us know about the roof.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- We assess the conditions and the take-off spot first.
- The drone photographs the roof closely, kept in sight throughout.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
