About our drone roof survey in Burley Street
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. The Premium Survey includes a drone inspection where it applies, with a same-day report, structural analysis and an in-person consultation. It also includes a follow-up after 12 months. We’ll tell you if a drone isn’t the right tool for your roof. Every drone survey comes with a written report and close-up photos. We survey fragile roofs, chimney stacks and valleys and parapet gutters, and the problems we are asked to look at most are hidden gutters full of leaves and lifted or split lead flashings.
Older buildings in small places like Burley Street may be listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera does not touch the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What happens on the day
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: 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. The visit typically takes an hour or two at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Around Burley Street, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We confirm whether a drone suits your roof.
- A date is fixed, with a fallback in case the weather turns.
- Aerial photos are taken of your roof only, not the neighbours’.

- Everything is written up, with the aerial photos and our advice.
Before we arrive
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

Advice
Your questions about drone roof surveys in Burley Street
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Burley Street?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is drone flying allowed in Burley Street?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. Strong wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
Do you work in Burley Street?
Yes. We survey roofs in Burley Street and the rest of Hampshire. To book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
What will the report tell me?
A photo-illustrated written report, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What happens next?
You will receive the report by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
Common roof problems in Burley Street
Large roofs take a long time to see on foot. A drone can photograph a large roof methodically. That gives a clearer picture of the roof as a whole.
Look out for signs like these:
- Damage after a storm that can’t be seen from below
- Flat roofs on upper floors that hold water
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Lifted or split lead flashings
Historic houses such as Avon Tyrrell House, about 2.7 miles south-west, show how far back building around Burley Street goes. Close-up aerial shots and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
What else we do in Burley Street
What we can’t see

Drones, thermal imaging and Burley Street 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. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions.
If you look after a building such as Burley Primary School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
