Get a clear view of the roof at a property in Crookham Village. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.
How a drone roof survey works in Crookham Village
Drone surveys suit tall houses, blocks of flats, steep roofs and large commercial roofs. They also suit fragile roofs that nobody should walk on. The roof is photographed without being disturbed. We check the airspace for your address ahead of the visit. If a drone isn’t the right tool, we will say so. If you’ve noticed loose ridge and hip tiles and plant growth and moss on the roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Crookham Village, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned beforehand. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Common questions in Crookham Village
Are there drone restrictions around Crookham Village?
Usually it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Strong wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
Do you cover smaller places like Crookham Village?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What does a roof survey cost?
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT.
What happens next?
The report comes by email, and you decide the next step: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
When does the report arrive?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. Each one is emailed.
How long will you be at the property?
It usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.

What we look for on each type of roof
Valleys and parapet gutters
Hidden gutters and valleys sit out of sight. A drone shows linings, joints and build-ups of debris.
Chimney stacks
The top of a stack is normally out of view. A drone gets close to the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings, so cracks and gaps are clear.
What a drone roof survey looks like in Crookham Village
Farnham Castle, about 4.5 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Crookham Village. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons.
Shop and office owners around Hart Shopping Centre may find that big, flat commercial roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help most. Take an older house close to All Saints' Church: older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help. Take a building like All Saints Church of England Aided Junior School: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. Around Crookham Village, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First comes the address, plus a note of what worries you about the roof.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where needed.
- Before take-off, the wind, the weather and the launch spot are looked at.
- The drone photographs the roof closely, kept in sight throughout.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
Preparing for the visit
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
