Tips from our surveys
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Make sure the loft can be reached
- Shut pets inside while we fly
- Give us the full address so we can check the airspace
- Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
Your report arrives by email, with close-up photographs from the flight. Findings are set out in plain English, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant.
Every so often, look in the roof space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. The underside often shows problems before the outside does. Photograph anything new.
Drone roof survey in Elvetham Heath
Neighbours’ privacy matters on every flight. The camera stays on your roof, 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. Flights are kept as short as the job allows and focused on the roof in question. Common reasons to book are loose ridge and hip tiles and ponding and splits on a high flat roof, on valleys and parapet gutters, chimney stacks and flat roofs on upper floors.
Around Elvetham Heath, lots of roofs are low enough to see partly from the garden or the street. Chimney tops, valleys and rear slopes are where close-up or thermal images help most. The forecast decides the day, as calm, dry conditions suit both. Close-up images frequently show wear on ridges, verges and flashings that can’t be judged properly from ground level.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Questions from Elvetham Heath
Are there drone restrictions around Elvetham Heath?
Usually it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Blackbushe Airport is about 3 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. High wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
Will you come out to Elvetham Heath?
Yes. Elvetham Heath is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect what can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
How experienced are you?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.

Drone roof surveys in Elvetham Heath: local notes
Elvetham Heath is about 3 miles from Blackbushe Airport, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. Elvetham Heath has a number of hotels within about a mile and a half. If you look after one, a large roof can be surveyed without guests having anyone working above them.
If you look after a building like Elvetham Heath Primary School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. For an older house near a landmark like Church on the Heath, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. If you run a business near Hart Shopping Centre, large commercial roofs are frequently easiest to see from the air or with a thermal camera.

What affects the cost of drone roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- Roof area
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- What made you get in touch
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Our price is from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. A visit to Elvetham Heath is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We start with the address and what you’d like checked.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where needed.
- On the day, we check the wind, weather and site before flying.
- We fly the sub-250g drone close to the roof and photograph each area.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
Preparing for the visit
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Booking a survey
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Why act early in Elvetham Heath
A drone record gives you a baseline. Next time, you can compare and see what has moved or worn. It’s useful for planning maintenance over the years. Around Elvetham Heath, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
