Fullerton Drone Roof Survey

About our drone roof survey in Fullerton
A drone shows the outside of a roof very well, but it can’t see inside. We check the loft from inside where it is safe, since that’s 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 can’t be reached safely, we note it. Common reasons to book are wind damage high on the roof and lead work pulling away at abutments, across large and complex roofs, flat roofs on upper floors and fragile roofs.
In a small place like Fullerton, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, 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.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Faults on high roofs tend to be found late. By that stage the damage has spread inside. Looking from above picks up the early signs. For an older or listed building in a place like Fullerton, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.
Why book with us
- Package prices that include VAT
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- 20+ years’ experience

Questions from Fullerton
Do you cover smaller places like Fullerton?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Fullerton?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £400, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package.
Will the drone film my neighbours?
No, the camera is kept on your roof. Neighbouring homes and gardens aren’t the subject. It helps to tell neighbours beforehand.
Will the drone show what’s under the tiles?
No. The drone photographs the outer surfaces, but it can’t see under the coverings. We look in the loft from inside where it’s safe.
Does the weather affect a drone survey?
High wind or heavy rain stops a flight. The weather on the day decides whether the drone goes up. If it’s unsuitable, we will agree another date.
Is your drone operator registered?
Yes. We hold both a CAA Flyer ID and an Operator ID. We use a sub-250g drone.
What a drone roof survey looks like in Fullerton
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. Many roofs like these cannot be judged properly from the pavement, and that is where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
The streets around a church like Church of St Nicholas are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.
Fullerton is about 4 miles south of Andover, in Hampshire. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Fullerton can all book drone roof surveys, with a written report and photographs every time. Our Hampshire coverage includes Fullerton. Southampton is in our area too.

What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
The top of a stack is normally out of view. A drone gets close to the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings.
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Flat roof coverings wear out at different rates. Photos show how the covering is wearing.
What affects the price in Fullerton
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Roof area
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- House, block, shop or office
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Getting in touch
There’s no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Anything about access we should know
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us and give us a few details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
How it works
The visit has one job: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes an hour or two for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a village or hamlet like Fullerton, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We start by checking the airspace and any restrictions at your address.
- We arrange any permission that is needed before we fly.
- On the day, we check the weather and the site before flying.
- We fly the drone close to the roof to photograph it in detail, always in sight.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
How to book
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
When you need someone else
It’s a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Neighbouring roofs the owner hasn’t asked us to survey
- A flight on a day when the weather is not safe
- Anything inside the loft or under the coverings
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will tell you before booking. What our survey covers.
What we look at
- Fragile roofs
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Large and complex roofs
- Flat roofs on upper floors
- Tall and steep roofs
- Chimney stacks
What we are asked to look at in Fullerton
Chimney tops take the worst of the weather. From ground level, you rarely see cracked flaunching or loose pots. A drone gets close enough to see them in detail.
Look out for signs like these:
- Blocked valleys and parapet gutters
- Flashings that have come away
- Loose ridge and hip tiles
- Wind damage high on the roof
Around Fullerton, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.
What to check before booking
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- What the survey won’t cover
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
