How a drone roof survey works in Great Haseley
Tall, steep, large or fragile roofs cannot always be inspected up close. Our drone roof survey gets a camera close to them without anyone climbing. You see slates, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters in detail. The photos go into a written report. It also suits roofs that would be damaged by someone walking on them. If we can’t fly, we tell you why. We survey tall and steep roofs, valleys and parapet gutters and fragile roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are flat roofs on upper floors that hold water and cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots.
In a village or hamlet like Great Haseley, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned in advance. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Do you need a drone roof survey in Great Haseley?
Parapet gutters, box gutters and central valleys sit out of sight. Debris collects where nobody looks, until water overflows inside. A drone shows them clearly from above.
Common reasons to book include:
- Wind damage high on the roof
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Flashings that have come away
- Tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack
If you look after a building such as Great Milton Church of England Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

Great Haseley: your questions answered
Is my home in Great Haseley listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover smaller places like Great Haseley?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
What does the report include?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photos. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when booking.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and the report uses them to show each finding alongside our recommendations.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Airspace, weather and Great Haseley roofs
With Garsington Manor about 3.5 miles west, Great Haseley sits in an area with a long building history. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Peter are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

What we look for on each type of roof
Steep slate and tile slopes
Widespread slipping on slate typically means nail fatigue. We can see the extent of it from above.
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Flat roofs on tall buildings are frequently seen by nobody. From above, standing water, splits and tired upstands are clear.

How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. For a village or hamlet like Great Haseley, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, we check the address for flight restrictions.
- Where a flight restriction zone or restricted area applies, we seek permission first.
- We assess the wind, the weather and the surroundings before take-off.
- The drone captures close-up photos of the coverings, chimneys, valleys and gutters.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Tell us where we can park nearby
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or email us when you are ready.
