About our drone roof survey in Fisher's Pond
Every flight starts with an airspace check. Near protected airports like Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton, flight restriction zones mean permission is needed first. Central London has restricted areas of its own, which need NATS permission. If permission is not given, we inspect by other means and tell you. Prisons have their own drone restriction zones too. We survey fragile roofs, valleys and parapet gutters and flat roofs on upper floors, and common reasons people get in touch are outlets choked with leaves and silt and ridge and hip pieces working loose.
Older buildings in small places like Fisher's Pond may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager does not touch the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Do you need a drone roof survey in Fisher's Pond?
Chimney tops take the worst of the weather. Cracked flaunching, loose pots and eroded pointing are often invisible from below. A drone gets close enough to see them in detail.
Problems we come across often include:
- Chimney tops in poor condition
- Lifted or split lead flashings
- Damage after a storm that cannot be seen from below
- Ridge pieces that have lifted
South Stoneham House lies about 4.6 miles south-west, so building around Fisher's Pond goes back a long way. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from ground level, and a survey from the air or with a thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof itself.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What experience they bring
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- How long the report takes to arrive
Prices for drone roof surveys in Fisher's Pond
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Our price is from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- What kind of property and roof it is
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The property’s address and postcode
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us a few details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Roof by roof
Steep slate and tile slopes
On slate roofs, slipped slates often point to corroded nails. Close-up photos show how widespread it is.
Valleys and parapet gutters
When a parapet outlet blocks, water can come inside. Outlets and any debris around them are photographed.
What a drone roof survey looks like in Fisher's Pond
Fisher's Pond is about 1 mile from the edge of the flight restriction zone around Southampton Airport. The exact boundary is checked for each address before any flight, and a roof inside it needs permission before we fly. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from the ground, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Colden Common Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. Take an older house close to Church of the Holy Trinity: thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.

FAQs for Fisher's Pond
Will you come out to Fisher's Pond?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Fisher's Pond?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Does your drone take thermal images?
No, the drone survey is photographic. Thermal imaging is a separate check in the Premium Survey.
What do I do with the report?
You receive the written report by email, with photographs and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and the report uses them to show each finding.
What’s in the survey report?
Written findings with photos, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.

Why act early in Fisher's Pond
On a tall building, problems are often found only when water comes in. By then, timbers, ceilings and insulation may be wet. Looking from above picks up the early signs. Outbuildings and barns around Fisher's Pond are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

The survey, step by step
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes about one to two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Somewhere as small as Fisher's Pond, access is often the only tricky part. 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 let us know about the roof.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- Before take-off, the wind, the weather and the launch spot are checked.
- We fly the sub-250g drone close to the roof and photograph each area.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
Before we arrive
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Tell us where we can park nearby
