Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Conford
Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. We keep it in sight throughout, and well below the 120-metre height limit. Each flight is planned with the site and its surroundings in mind. Airspace and weather are checked before every flight. Safety comes first on every visit. If you’ve noticed ponding and splits on a high flat roof and outlets choked with leaves and silt, we can find out what’s behind it, on valleys and parapet gutters, tall and steep roofs and flat roofs on upper floors alike.
In a village or hamlet like Conford, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you cannot get from the ground. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What this survey cannot tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Neighbouring roofs the owner hasn’t asked us to survey
- The underside of the roof (that needs an inside check)
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you before you book. What our survey covers.

Practical tips
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
- Check there is room outside for the drone to take off
- Let us know what you want to see
- Shut pets inside while we fly
If you need work done, roofers can work from the photos. They’ll see exactly where each defect is.
Plan a drone survey every few years for tall or large roofs. Regular photos make changes easy to spot, so small faults are dealt with early.

What affects the cost of drone roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How big the roof is
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £400, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
What we need to know
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, it helps to mention:
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Flying and imaging in Conford
We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Flights in the open category stay under 120 m (400 ft), with the drone kept in sight. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
Around Conford, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in. If you look after a building such as Liphook Infant School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
Conford is about 2 miles south-east of Bordon, in Hampshire. Wherever you are in Conford, we can carry out drone roof surveys at your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. Conford is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. For surveys nearby, see our Guildford page.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes an hour or two at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere as small as Conford, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we check whether a drone is the right tool.
- A date is fixed, with a fallback in case the weather turns.
- We fly over the roof, keeping the camera on the property we are surveying.
- Where there’s safe access, we check the loft as well.
- The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Your questions about drone roof surveys in Conford
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Conford?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour.
Do you cover smaller places like Conford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but we do not provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. The report will say if you need an engineer.
How quickly is the report sent?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. Each one is emailed, ready to forward.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take between one and two hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. The report is sent afterwards by email.
What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, finishing with recommendations. The most urgent items are made clear.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
