Drone roof survey in Boorley Green: what you get
We carry out drone roof surveys in Boorley Green and across London and the South East, where the airspace and the weather allow. We fly on any day of the week. 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, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. Common reasons to book are moss building up on slopes and in gutters and lifted or split lead flashings, across chimney stacks, valleys and parapet gutters and flat roofs on upper floors.
Around Boorley Green, older homes can have thin loft insulation and later additions with roofs of their own. Thermal patterns and close-up photos together give a fuller picture of the roof. Anything that looks like moisture is checked with a meter. Results depend on the weather, so the visit is planned around the forecast.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: 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.
Why get it checked now?
A drone record gives you a baseline. Next time, you can compare and see what has moved or worn. It’s useful for planning maintenance over the years. Homes in smaller places like Boorley Green can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included, and we can help you choose.

Common questions in Boorley Green
Do you cover smaller places like Boorley Green?
Yes, Boorley Green is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Boorley Green is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
What will the report tell me?
A written report with photos, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations, in order of urgency where relevant. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Will you photograph next door’s garden?
We point the camera at your roof only. Next door’s windows and gardens are kept out of shot as far as possible. It’s useful to tell neighbours beforehand.
How do I book a survey in Boorley Green?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What happens if the weather is bad?
The conditions on the day decide whether a flight goes ahead. We won’t fly in high wind or heavy rain. If the weather turns, we’ll discuss another date.
What a drone roof survey looks like in Boorley Green
Boorley Green lies within about 5 miles of the sea, where wind off the sea can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, so the weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead. The flight restriction zone around Southampton Airport comes within about 1 mile of Boorley Green. We check the exact boundary for the address before flying, and if the roof falls inside it, we ask for permission first.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Luke's Church, 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. With South Stoneham House about 4.3 miles west, the area around Boorley Green has a long history. A drone or thermal survey does not involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings. If you look after a building such as Berrywood Primary School, big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.
Boorley Green is about 1 mile north-east of Hedge End, in Hampshire. In Boorley Green, as across Hampshire, every roof gets the same careful survey. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire.

What to tell us when you contact us
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to tell us:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey usually takes between one and two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. A visit to a smaller place like Boorley Green is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start by checking the airspace and any restrictions at your address.
- Where a flight restriction zone or restricted area applies, we seek permission first.
- Before the flight, we check the conditions and the take-off spot.
- The sub-250g drone takes close-up photos of the roof, kept in sight throughout.
- We email a written report with the photographs and our recommendations.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Tips from our surveys
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Book early if you are near an airport
- Keep dogs indoors during the visit
- Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
- Clear a spot on the drive or lawn
We email the report to you, including the close-up photos taken by the drone. Findings are set out in plain English, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear, ideally once the leaves have fallen. On high roofs, leave clearing to a professional. Blocked hidden gutters cause many leaks.
When you need someone else
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Flights in strong wind or heavy rain
- Flights in a restricted zone without permission
- Roofs and gardens beyond the one we are surveying
