Common questions in Farleigh Wallop
Is my home in Farleigh Wallop listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Farleigh Wallop within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Is your drone operator registered?
Yes. We hold both a CAA Flyer ID and an Operator ID. We use a sub-250g drone.
Do drone rules differ in central London?
Central London has restricted areas where NATS permission is needed. Where we cannot fly, we use other safe vantage points.
Is a drone roof survey a thermal survey?
No, the drone survey is photographic. For thermal imaging, look at the Premium Survey or our thermal roof survey, and its findings are checked with moisture readings.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. That includes checking the site and the weather before take-off.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you as you book.
How a drone roof survey works in Farleigh Wallop
They suit tall buildings, steep or large roofs and roofs that are hard to see from the ground. They’re useful where walking on the roof could damage it or is not safe, such as old slate, clay tiles or cement sheets. You get close-up views without anyone setting foot on the roof. We check the airspace for your address before the visit. If a drone isn’t the right tool, we will say so. If you’ve noticed damage after a storm that can’t be seen from below and coverings that have slipped high up on the roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Farleigh Wallop, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

The survey, step by step
Where it’s 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, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a small place like Farleigh Wallop, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You give us the address and tell us about the roof.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- We assess the conditions and the take-off spot first.
- We fly the sub-250g drone close to the roof and photograph each area.
- You receive a written report with the photos and our recommendations.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Move stored items away from the hatch
- Let us know what you want to see
- A word with neighbours beforehand helps
- Allow for a change of day in poor weather
If you need work done, roofers can work from the photos. The photos show the location and extent of every problem.
Don’t block the vents at the eaves. Condensation in the loft can damage timbers and insulation. Check insulation doesn’t block the airflow.
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roofs on tall buildings
The flat roof on top of a block is rarely looked at. From above, standing water, splits and tired upstands are clear.
Steep slate and tile slopes
Old slates and clay tiles can crack underfoot. The drone sees them without touching them, so the survey doesn’t add damage.
What this survey cannot tell you
Before booking, it’s worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Flying in a flight restriction zone without the airport’s permission
- A structural engineer’s report
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers

What a drone roof survey looks like in Farleigh Wallop
The drone we use is under 250g, flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID. Open category rules keep flights below 120 m (400 ft) and the drone within sight at all times. About 5 miles south-east lies Hall Place, a reminder of how long the area around Farleigh Wallop has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Brighton Hill Community School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Festival Place, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St. Andrew, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
