About our drone roof survey in Easthampstead
A drone can see more than your roof, so we take care. We keep the camera on the roof we’re surveying, not on gardens or windows next door. If your roof is shared, a word with next door beforehand helps. We inspect only what the owner has asked us to. Each flight is kept short and stays focused on the roof we’re there to survey. If you are worried about outlets choked with leaves and silt and cracked slates and tiles out of sight from below, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Places like Easthampstead can be near small airfields or other airspace restrictions, so every drone flight starts with a check of the Drone Safety Map. Open ground can mean stronger wind, which also affects whether a small drone can fly. Each flight is planned with neighbours’ privacy in mind, as well as the airspace and the wind.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

How the survey works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Being in a smaller place like Easthampstead does not change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- First comes the address, plus a note of what worries you about the roof.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where 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.
Before the survey
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
Getting a price
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.

Different roofs, different checks
Steep slate and tile slopes
Steep slopes are hard to inspect safely on foot. A drone photographs them closely from a safe position, showing slipped, cracked and missing pieces.
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Leaks frequently start at outlets, edges and around plant. They’re all captured in close-up.
Why act early in Easthampstead
Close-up photos make conversations with roofers clearer. You can show exactly where the problem is. Around Easthampstead, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £400, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Why book with us

What this survey can’t tell you
It helps to know what a survey will not do before you book:
- Anything inside the loft or under the coverings
- Flying in a flight restriction zone without the airport’s permission
- A structural engineer’s report

Drone roof surveys in Easthampstead: local notes
Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Easthampstead is part of Bracknell, one of the post-war new towns. Many homes in the new towns date from the post-war decades, with concrete interlocking tiles, low-pitched roofs and flat-roofed garages and porches. Low-pitched roofs can be hard to see from the street, which is where a drone or thermal camera helps.
For businesses in and around places like The Lexicon, big, flat commercial roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images help most. The streets around a church such as St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.
Easthampstead is about 1 mile south-west of Bracknell, in Bracknell Forest. Bookings from Easthampstead are handled just like any other: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Easthampstead is one of the places in Bracknell Forest we cover. For surveys nearby, see our Reading page.

Easthampstead: your questions answered
Will you come out to Easthampstead?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Are there drone restrictions around Easthampstead?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. In high wind or heavy rain, a drone can’t fly and access may not be safe, so we’d move the date with you.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Where it’s relevant to the survey and there’s safe access, yes. A clear path to the hatch helps.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.

When to book a survey in Easthampstead
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.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Flat roofs on upper floors that hold water
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack
If you look after a building like Fox Hill Primary School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
