Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Corhampton
Drone surveys suit tall houses, blocks of flats, steep roofs and large commercial roofs. They’re useful where walking on the roof could damage it or is not safe. The roof is photographed without being disturbed. Ahead of the visit, we check the address for any airspace restrictions that apply. If a drone is not the right tool, we will say so. If you’ve noticed hidden gutters full of leaves and coverings that have slipped high up on the roof, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Corhampton, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you cannot get from the ground. Weather and airspace are looked at ahead of the visit, and the journey is planned beforehand. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Common questions in Corhampton
Do you cover smaller places like Corhampton?
Yes, Corhampton is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is drone flying allowed in Corhampton?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
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.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
How much does a drone roof survey cost in Corhampton?
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package.
Tips from our surveys
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
- A word with neighbours beforehand helps
- Book early if you are near an airport
- Be ready to move the date if the weather turns
Premium also includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see how the roof has changed over the year.
Every so frequently, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. A drone sees the outside, but the loft shows leaks and condensation from below. Photograph anything new.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
Drone roof surveys around Corhampton
We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). In the open category, flights stay below 120 m (400 ft) and within sight. With Hinton Ampner House about 4.4 miles north, Corhampton sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Corhampton Church, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Meonstoke Church of England Infant School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

How the survey changes by roof type
Valleys and parapet gutters
Blocked outlets in hidden gutters cause many leaks. We check outlets and photograph any build-up.
Large commercial roofs
Many commercial roofs have fragile sheets or roof lights. With a drone, nobody has to go near them.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Corhampton
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
The survey, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Cottages and farmhouses around Corhampton frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with the address and what you’d like checked.
- Any flight restriction at the address is checked, with permission requested if required.
- On the day, we check the wind, weather and site before flying.
- We fly the sub-250g drone close to the roof and photograph each area.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
Before the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
