Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That’s where a survey comes in.
Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Deadwater
Our price is from £400, including VAT. A drone inspection, where it applies, is also part of our Premium Survey, with a same-day report, structural analysis and an in-person consultation. It also includes a follow-up after 12 months. If a drone will not help on your roof, we will say so. Every drone survey comes with a written report and close-up photos. We survey valleys and parapet gutters, large and complex roofs and flat roofs on upper floors, and common reasons people get in touch are debris building up in hidden gutters and slipped or missing slates on a high roof.
Even in a smaller place like Deadwater, there may be airfields or restrictions nearby, so the Drone Safety Map is checked before any flight. Open ground can mean stronger wind, which also affects whether a small drone can fly. Neighbours’ privacy is part of planning each flight, along with the airspace and the weather.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to.

Drones, thermal imaging and Deadwater roofs
The drone we use is under 250g, flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID. Flights in the open category stay under 120 m (400 ft), with the drone kept in sight. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons.
If you live in an older home near St Mark's Sacred Church, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mill Chase Academy, big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.
Deadwater is about 1 mile east of Bordon, in Hampshire. Whether the building in Deadwater is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. Deadwater is one of the places in Hampshire we cover. For surveys nearby, see our Guildford page.

Why get it checked now?
With drone photos, everyone can see the same thing. They show the location and extent of each defect. Homes in smaller places like Deadwater can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further.

Common questions in Deadwater
How do I find out if my home in Deadwater is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is drone flying allowed in Deadwater?
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, including zones around airports and prisons. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
When does the report arrive?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
What will the report tell me?
A written report with photographs, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations, by urgency where it matters. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
How the survey changes by roof type
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Outlets, edges and roof plant are common problem areas. We photograph them closely, as far as the flight allows.
Steep slate and tile slopes
Widespread slipping on slate typically means nail fatigue. We can see the extent of it from above.
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It normally takes an hour or two for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. For a survey in Deadwater, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- You give us the address and tell us about the roof.
- Any flight restriction at the address is checked, with permission requested if required.
- Before take-off, the wind, the weather and the launch spot are checked.
- The drone photographs the roof closely, kept in sight throughout.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
