How we price drone roof surveys
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. It’s useful to include:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
- What made you get in touch
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
Drone roof survey in Deane
Tall, steep, large or fragile roofs can’t always be inspected up close. A drone takes close-up photos of those roofs from the air. You see slates, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters in detail, including slopes that cannot be seen from the street. Everything we find goes into a report with photos. It’s also a good option where walking on the roof could break slates or tiles. Where a flight isn’t possible, we explain why. Typical surveys look at flashings that have come away and tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack, across large and complex roofs, tall and steep roofs and chimney stacks.
Somewhere as small as Deane, 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 the ground. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned ahead of time. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Large commercial roofs cover a lot of ground. The drone covers the roof area by area.
What a drone roof survey looks like in Deane
Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from the ground, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
Around Deane, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

Signs you need a drone roof survey in Deane
After storms, owners want to know what has moved. It’s hard to tell from below what has shifted. A drone shows what has slipped, lifted or gone.
Common reasons to book include:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Plant growth and moss on the roof
- Ponding and splits on a high flat roof
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of All Saints, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one

What else we do in Deane
How it works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. For a village or hamlet like Deane, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- First, we check the address for flight restrictions.
- Where a flight restriction zone or restricted area applies, we seek permission first.
- We assess the wind, the weather and the surroundings before take-off.
- The drone captures close-up photos of the coverings, chimneys, valleys and gutters.
- Your report arrives by email, with close-up photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details as you book.
How soon will I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. If you have a deadline, like an exchange date, tell us when booking.

Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Clear the loft hatch so we can check inside too
- Be ready to move the date if the weather turns
- Give us the full address so we can check the airspace
- Clear a spot on the drive or lawn
The Premium Survey report comes the same day. It includes the drone photos where a flight was possible.
Have high or hard-to-reach roofs surveyed every few years. Comparing surveys shows what is wearing, and early repairs keep water out.
