Drone roof survey in Catisfield, Hampshire
Find out the condition of the roof at your property in Catisfield. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Moss building up on slopes and in gutters
- Flashings that have come away
- Tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack
Practical tips
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Make sure the loft can be reached
- Give us the full address so we can check the airspace
- Expect us to rearrange if it is too windy or wet
- Let us know what you want to see
Your report arrives by email, with close-up photos from the flight. Findings are set out in plain English, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant.
Look at the roof from the ground after strong winds. Pieces of slate or tile on the ground mean something has moved. A drone can show exactly what has moved.
How a drone roof survey works in Catisfield
We carry out drone roof surveys in Catisfield and across London and South East England, subject to airspace checks and the weather. Flights take place on weekdays and at weekends. We check the airspace for your address before booking a flight. The report includes the drone photos and our recommendations. To check whether your roof suits a drone survey, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. If you’ve noticed storm damage on steep or tall roofs and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In smaller places like Catisfield, many homes are bungalows and houses with roofs you can partly see from the ground. The parts you cannot see, such as rear slopes, valleys and chimney tops, are where a drone or thermal camera adds detail. Both depend on the weather on the day. Even so, a close-up image often shows wear on ridges and flashings that a view from ground level misses.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

What we look for on each type of roof
Ridges and hips
Ridges may be bedded in mortar or mechanically fixed. We record what we see of their condition.
Steep slate and tile slopes
Steep roofs are risky to walk on. A drone photographs them closely from a safe position, showing slipped, cracked and missing pieces.
FAQs for Catisfield
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Catisfield?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover smaller places like Catisfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you test for 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.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
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.
How do I book a survey in Catisfield?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on any day of the week.
Drones, thermal imaging and Catisfield roofs
Catisfield lies within about 2 miles of the sea, where wind off the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain. Catisfield is about 3 miles from Solent Airport, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly.
Anyone responsible for a site like Ranvilles Infant School will know that a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Peter, 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. For hotels and guest houses around Catisfield, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest.
Catisfield is about 1 mile west of Fareham, in Hampshire. Catisfield is one of many places we visit across Hampshire, for homes and businesses alike. Catisfield is one of the places in Hampshire we cover for drone roof surveys. We also survey roofs in Portsmouth.

For landlords and managing agents
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
Why it is worth a survey now in Catisfield
Photos from a drone survey show how the roof looks today. Comparing them with later photos shows what has changed. It’s useful for planning maintenance over the years. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Catisfield, so it helps to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
Why book with us
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- An independent view of the roof
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Surveys seven days a week

Checking the roof from ground level
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. A visit to Catisfield is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed beforehand. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We start with the address and what you’d like checked.
- Any flight restriction at the address is looked at, with permission requested if required.
- Before take-off, the wind, the weather and the launch spot are looked at.
- Close-up photos are taken of each slope, chimney, valley and gutter, with the drone always in view.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Leave side gates unlocked
