How the survey changes by roof type
Large commercial roofs
Many commercial roofs have fragile sheets or roof lights. With a drone, nobody has to go near them.
Steep slate and tile slopes
Old slates and clay tiles can crack underfoot. The drone sees them without touching them.
Drone roof survey in Church Crookham: what you get
Drones need reasonable weather. We don’t fly in strong wind or heavy rain, because control and safety come first. If the weather turns, we’ll agree another day or inspect what we can by other means. We check the forecast ahead of the visit and again on site. Calm, dry conditions give the sharpest close-up photos. Waiting for a better day is better than a rushed flight. We survey flat roofs on upper floors, chimney stacks and tall and steep roofs, and people most often book us about chimney tops in poor condition and worn lead at chimneys and walls.
Some older homes in villages like Church Crookham are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. The survey itself takes between one and two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Rural addresses near Church Crookham can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We confirm whether a drone suits your roof.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday, weather permitting.
- We fly over the roof, keeping the camera on the property we’re surveying.
- If the loft can be reached safely, it’s checked too.
- Everything is written up, with the aerial photos and our advice.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets in another room

A drone record gives you a baseline. Comparing them with later photos shows what has changed. It is useful for planning maintenance over the years. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs and what we found on two real jobs.
For landlords and managing agents
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos, useful for planning maintenance.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Common roof problems in Church Crookham
From the pavement, most of a tall roof is out of sight. Rear slopes, valleys and the tops of chimneys are hidden. Faults there can go unnoticed for years, which is why owners turn to a drone.
Common reasons to book include:
- Lead work pulling away at abutments
- Cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots
- Ridge pieces that have lifted
- Ponding and splits on a high flat roof
If you live in an older home near Fleet Spiritualist Church, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What follow-up you get after the report
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Church Crookham: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Church Crookham is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Church Crookham?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll explain what’s needed.
What if my home is near an airport?
Only with the right permission. Confirmed flight restriction zones include Heathrow, Gatwick, London City, Stansted, Luton and Southampton, among others, and a flight inside one needs the airport’s or air traffic control’s say-so. If permission isn’t given, the roof is inspected from other safe viewpoints.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we will recommend one.
What does the report include?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, finishing with recommendations. Points are put in order of urgency where relevant.
