The survey, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes about 1–2 hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Around Froxfield Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You give us the address and tell us about the roof.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where needed.
- On the day, we check the wind, weather and site before flying.
- Close-up photos are taken of each slope, chimney, valley and gutter, with the drone always in view.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at

Advice
Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Froxfield Green
Tall, steep, large or fragile roofs cannot always be inspected up close. A drone takes close-up photos of those roofs from the air. You see slates, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters in detail, including slopes that cannot be seen from the street. Everything we find goes into a written report with photos. It also suits roofs that would be damaged by someone walking on them. Where a flight isn’t possible, we explain why. Common reasons to book are coverings that have slipped high up on the roof and flashings that have come away, on valleys and parapet gutters, tall and steep roofs and fragile roofs.
In a small place like Froxfield Green, open ground can mean strong wind. Strong wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. 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.

Your questions about drone roof surveys in Froxfield Green
Do you cover smaller places like Froxfield Green?
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.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Froxfield Green?
Normally it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
What do I do with the report?
The report arrives by email. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access.
Common roof problems in Froxfield Green
Chimney tops take the worst of the weather. From ground level, you rarely see cracked flaunching or loose pots. Close-up drone photos show their condition.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Blistered or cracked flat roof coverings
- Hidden gutters full of leaves
- Worn lead at chimneys and walls
- Cracked slates and tiles out of sight from below
Anyone responsible for a site like Froxfield Church of England Primary School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Airspace, weather and Froxfield Green roofs
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. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. 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.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Peter on the Green, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Close-up photos make conversations with roofers clearer. They show the location and extent of each defect, which helps when you ask for quotes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Froxfield Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a drone roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Clear the loft hatch so we can check inside too
- Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
- Book early if you are near an airport
- Tell next door if the drone will be near their property
Your report arrives by email, including the close-up photos taken by the drone. Findings are set out in plain English, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant.
Plan a drone survey every few years for tall or large roofs. Regular photos make changes easy to spot, and early repairs keep water out.
Different roofs, different checks
Large commercial roofs
Big roofs on offices, warehouses and units take time to inspect. The drone covers the roof area by area.
Chimney stacks
The top of a stack is normally out of view. Close-up photos show the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings, so cracks and gaps are clear.
