About our drone roof survey in Brockenhurst
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The Premium Survey includes a drone inspection where applicable, with a same-day report, structural analysis and an in-person consultation. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. If a drone will not help on your roof, we’ll say so. Every drone survey comes with a written report and close-up photographs. Common reasons to book are slates or tiles shifted by high winds and hidden gutters full of leaves, on fragile roofs, valleys and parapet gutters and flat roofs on upper floors.
Around Brockenhurst, a good many roofs are low enough to see partly from the garden or the street. Chimney tops, valleys and rear slopes are where close-up or thermal images help most. The forecast decides the day, as calm, dry conditions suit both. Close-up images frequently show wear on ridges, verges and flashings that cannot be judged properly from the ground.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages

- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What to tell us when you get in touch
We’ll typically ask about:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The kind of building and roof involved
- When you need the report by
- What’s prompted the survey
We confirm the exact price before booking, so you know where you stand. Prices start from £400, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
FAQs for Brockenhurst
Is my home in Brockenhurst listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Brockenhurst within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
What if my home is near an airport?
Flight restriction zones around protected airports need permission from the airport or air traffic control before any flight. We check the airspace for your address and seek permission where it is needed. If it is not given, we inspect by other means.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone.
What will the report tell me?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photographs. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
Can the drone do thermal imaging?
No, the drone survey is photographic. Thermal imaging is a separate check in the Premium Survey, and its findings are checked with moisture readings.
Why get it checked now?
Leaving a slipped slate or a blocked valley can turn a small fault into a leak. Finding them now means less to put right. In a smaller place like Brockenhurst, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.

Roof by roof
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Flat roof coverings wear out at different rates. We record the signs of age we can see.
Valleys and parapet gutters
Some older terraces have a butterfly roof with a valley in the middle. You can’t see it from the street at all, but it is plain to see from the air.
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. It normally takes an hour or two at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Brockenhurst, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- First, we check the address for flight restrictions.
- If permission is needed, we ask for it before the visit.
- We assess the wind, the weather and the surroundings before take-off.
- The sub-250g drone takes close-up photos of the roof, kept in sight throughout.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

What a drone roof survey looks like in Brockenhurst
Brockenhurst lies within about 5 miles of the sea, and wind near the sea can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, so the weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead. We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). In the open category, flights stay below 120 m (400 ft) and within sight.
A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Brockenhurst means lost rooms as well as repairs, so it is worth knowing the roof’s condition. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Saviour, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image. Take a building like Brockenhurst Church of England Primary School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
