Drone roof survey in Bramshott Chase: what you get
Some roofs are hard or unsafe to reach. A drone takes close-up photos of those roofs from the air. You see slates, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters in detail. Everything we find goes into a written report with photos. It’s also a good option where walking on the roof could break slates or tiles. If we cannot fly, we tell you why. We survey flat roofs on upper floors, fragile roofs and tall and steep roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are cracked mortar along the ridge and slates or tiles shifted by high winds.
Somewhere as small as Bramshott Chase, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you cannot get from ground level. Weather and airspace are looked at before the visit. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Leave it or get it looked at?
It’s hard to plan maintenance for a roof nobody has looked at. Our report shows the condition of each area. That helps you put the work in order. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Bramshott Chase, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we’ll tell you which fits.

Can I check my roof myself?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
What we look for on each type of roof
Valleys and parapet gutters
Some older terraces have a butterfly roof with a valley in the middle. It’s almost impossible to see from the ground, but a drone shows it clearly.
Chimney stacks
Chimney tops are hard to see from the ground. Close-up photos show the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings, so cracks and gaps are clear.
Airspace, weather and Bramshott Chase roofs
The drone we use is under 250g, flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID. Open category rules keep flights below 120 m (400 ft) and the drone within sight at all times. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
Take a building like Woolmer Hill School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Common roof problems in Bramshott Chase
Steep and tall roofs are hard to inspect safely. Three-storey houses, blocks of flats and tall commercial buildings are common examples. A drone gets close-up views from a safe position on the ground.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Ridge and hip pieces working loose
- Chimney tops in poor condition
- Slates or tiles shifted by high winds
- Blistered or cracked flat roof coverings
If you live in an older home near Church of St Luke, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.

Your questions about drone roof surveys in Bramshott Chase
How do I find out if my home in Bramshott Chase is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is drone flying allowed in Bramshott Chase?
Usually it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
How do I arrange a drone roof survey in Bramshott Chase?
Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Practical tips
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Clear a spot on the drive or lawn
- Allow time for permission if you’re in a flight restriction zone
- Check the loft can be reached
- Expect us to rearrange if it is too windy or wet
Premium also includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see how the roof has changed over the year.
Keep the roof space ventilated. Poor airflow lets condensation build up. Keep insulation clear of the eaves.
What we do, step by step
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes about 1–2 hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Rural addresses near Bramshott Chase can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start by checking the airspace and any restrictions at your address.
- If permission is needed, we ask for it ahead of the visit.
- Before the flight, we check the conditions and the take-off spot.
- We fly the drone close to the roof to photograph it in detail, always in sight.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Find any records of previous roof work
