What a drone roof survey looks like in Boldre
Boldre lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and wind near 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. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Saint Nicholas Chapel, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as William Gilpin Church of England Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Boldre is about 2 miles north of Lymington, in Hampshire. Wherever you are in Boldre, we can carry out drone roof surveys at your property. Boldre is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire where we work. For surveys nearby, see our Southampton page.

Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Boldre
We carry out drone roof surveys in Boldre and across London and the South East, where the airspace and the weather allow. We fly on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Every address is checked for airspace restrictions first. The report includes the drone photos and our recommendations. To ask whether a drone survey suits your roof, phone 07833 053749 or email us. We are often asked to look into blocked valleys and parapet gutters and ponding and splits on a high flat roof, across flat roofs on upper floors, chimney stacks and large and complex roofs.
Villages like Boldre frequently stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong 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 written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

FAQs for Boldre
Are there drone restrictions around Boldre?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. Strong wind or a downpour also stops a small drone flying.
How do I find out if my home in Boldre is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Is Boldre in your area?
Yes. We cover Boldre and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across London and South East England. To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. In strong wind or a downpour, a drone cannot fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.

Why it is worth a survey now in Boldre
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. In a small place like Boldre, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.

Prices for drone roof surveys in Boldre
We confirm the exact price before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Which survey package you book
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- When you need the report by
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
We survey roofs seven days a week. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
- Let us know about any leaks or concerns
- Allow for a change of day in poor weather
- Book early if you’re near an airport
With the Premium Survey, the report arrives the same day. Drone photos are included where we could fly.
Plan a drone survey every few years for tall or large roofs. Regular photos make changes easy to spot, so small faults are dealt with early.
How it works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes an hour or two for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. Older roofs in small places like Boldre can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You give us the address and let us know about the roof.
- Any flight restriction at the address is looked at, with permission requested if required.
- On the day, we check the wind, weather and site before flying.
- Close-up photos are taken of each slope, chimney, valley and gutter, with the drone always in view.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
