Drone roof survey in Crampmoor
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The Premium Survey includes a drone inspection where it applies, along with structural analysis, a same-day report and an in-person consultation. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. If a drone won’t help on your roof, we’ll say so. Every drone survey comes with a written report and close-up photos. Typical surveys look at coverings that have slipped high up on the roof and eroded pointing on a chimney stack, on fragile roofs, chimney stacks and large and complex roofs.
Somewhere as small as Crampmoor, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from ground level. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned in advance. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Signs you need a drone roof survey in Crampmoor
Steep and tall roofs are hard to inspect safely. Tall townhouses, blocks of flats and offices are typical. We fly from ground level and bring the camera close to the roof.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots
- Wind damage high on the roof
- Lifted or split lead flashings
- Ridge pieces that have lifted
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Cupernham Infant School, big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.
Before you book anyone
- Are they insured for the work?
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
When you need someone else
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Neighbouring roofs the owner hasn’t asked us to survey
- Flights in strong wind or heavy rain
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
If you’re not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.

Airspace, weather and Crampmoor roofs
The wider area around Crampmoor has a long history of building, with Mottisfont Abbey about 4.4 miles north-west. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. Flights in the open category stay under 120 m (400 ft), with the drone kept in sight.
If you live in an older home near St Swithun's Church, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.

How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes between one and two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a village or hamlet like Crampmoor, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- You give us the address and tell us about the roof.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- We assess the conditions and the take-off spot first.
- The drone photographs the roof closely, kept in sight throughout.
- You receive a written report with the photos and our recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Useful tips for Crampmoor property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Keep dogs indoors during the visit
- Tell next door if the drone will be near their property
- Let us know what you want to see
- Tell us the exact address as you book
There’s a follow-up after 12 months with the Premium Survey. It helps you see how the roof has changed over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Don’t block the vents at the eaves. Condensation in the loft can damage timbers and insulation. Keep insulation clear of the eaves.
FAQs for Crampmoor
How do I find out if my home in Crampmoor is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will you come out to Crampmoor?
Yes, Crampmoor is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Does the drone show the underside of the roof?
No. A drone shows the outside surfaces of the roof in close detail, but it can’t see under the coverings. We look in the loft from inside where it’s safe.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years.
Does the weather affect a drone survey?
The flight waits for better weather. A small drone can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, so we’d move the date with you, or look from other safe viewpoints if you’d rather.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
What affects the price in Crampmoor
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- House, block, shop or office
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
