Drone roof survey in Eversley Cross: what you get
A drone shows the outside of a roof very well, but it cannot see inside. We check the loft from inside where it is safe, since that is where leaks and condensation often show first. Inside and out together tell you far more. The report sets out what the drone showed and what we found inside. Where the loft cannot be reached safely, we note it. We’re often asked to look into standing water on a flat roof and eroded pointing on a chimney stack, across valleys and parapet gutters, tall and steep roofs and flat roofs on upper floors.
Older buildings in small places like Eversley Cross may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager does not touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Drones, thermal imaging and Eversley Cross roofs
Blackbushe Airport is about 2 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Flights in the open category stay under 120 m (400 ft), with the drone kept in sight.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Common questions in Eversley Cross
Is drone flying allowed in Eversley Cross?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Blackbushe Airport is about 2 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you cover smaller places like Eversley Cross?
Yes. Eversley Cross is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there is a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
What do I do with the report?
The report arrives by email, with photos and clear recommendations. With Standard there’s a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
How the survey works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey usually takes about one to two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older roofs in small places like Eversley Cross can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You give us the address so we can check the airspace.
- If permission is needed, we ask for it before the visit.
- Before the flight, we check the conditions and the take-off spot.
- We fly the drone close to the roof to photograph it in detail, always in sight.
- We email a written report with the photographs and our recommendations.
How to prepare
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Keep pets in another room

When to book a survey in Eversley Cross
Large roofs take a long time to see on foot. The drone covers the surface area by area, showing patterns of wear that are hard to spot up close. You see the whole roof, not just the parts near an access point.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots
- Blocked valleys and parapet gutters
- Flat roofs on upper floors that hold water
- Cracked slates and tiles out of sight from below
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
What to check before booking
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What happens after the report arrives
- Will the report include photos?
- Their insurance cover
Leave it or get it looked at?
Leaving a high roof unchecked means relying on what you can see from below. Close-up photos show what’s really there. Seeing the problem makes it easier to decide what to do. For an older or listed building in a place like Eversley Cross, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Why book with us
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Surveys seven days a week
- Every finding written up with photos

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Move stored items away from the hatch
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
- Keep dogs indoors during the visit
- A word with neighbours beforehand helps
There is a follow-up after 12 months with the Premium Survey. It shows whether anything has moved or worn since the first visit, and whether work has done its job.
Have high or hard-to-reach roofs surveyed every few years. Comparing surveys shows what is wearing, so small faults are dealt with early.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Eversley Cross
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.

Honest limits
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Photos in conditions too poor to fly
- Flights in a restricted zone without permission
- The underside of the roof (that needs an inside check)
