Drone roof survey in Bursledon: what you get
Drone roof surveys are available in Bursledon and throughout London and South East England, where the airspace and the weather allow. We fly on any day of the week. We check the airspace for your address before booking a flight. You get a written report with close-up photos and recommendations. To ask whether a drone survey suits your roof, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. We are often asked to look into chimney tops in poor condition and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, across fragile roofs, tall and steep roofs and large and complex roofs.
Around Bursledon, older homes can have thin loft insulation and later additions with roofs of their own. A thermal image can show where heat is escaping or where moisture may be trapped, and drone photos show the roof surfaces themselves. Findings are checked with moisture readings where needed. Calm, dry weather suits both methods, so the date is set with the forecast in mind.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Advice
FAQs for Bursledon
How do I find out if my home in Bursledon is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you come out to Bursledon?
Yes, Bursledon is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll point you to the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What happens after the survey?
The report comes by email, and you decide the next step: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Small defects on a high roof grow with each storm. Spotting them early keeps the work smaller, whatever height the roof is. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Bursledon, so it’s useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.

What affects the price in Bursledon
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How big the roof is
- The shape of the roof and its details
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- What kind of property and roof it is
- What made you get in touch
- Anything about access we should know
We confirm the price for your survey before booking, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £400, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.

Drone roof surveys in Bursledon: local notes
Bursledon lies within about 2 miles of the sea, and wind near 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 2 miles of Bursledon. The exact boundary is checked for each address before any flight, and a roof inside it needs permission before we fly.
If you live in an older home near St Paul’s Church, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps. Medieval Merchant's House lies about 4 miles west, so building around Bursledon goes back a long way. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from ground level, and a survey from above or with a thermal imager does not touch the roof itself. Take a building like Bursledon Church of England Infant School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
