Drone roof survey in Greatham, Hampshire
Wondering about the roof at a property in Greatham? You can book a drone roof survey in Greatham and across Hampshire, with plain-English findings.
- Lead work pulling away at abutments
- Wind damage high on the roof
- Ridge pieces that have lifted
Leave it or get it looked at?
It is hard to plan maintenance for a roof nobody has looked at. You get photographs of every part we can see, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant. That helps you put the work in order. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
What you get with us
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- 20+ years’ experience
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out

About our drone roof survey in Greatham
Tall, steep, large or fragile roofs can’t always be inspected up close. Our drone roof survey gets a camera close to them without anyone climbing. It shows coverings, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters clearly. Everything we find goes into a report with photographs. It’s also a good option where walking on the roof could break slates or tiles. If we cannot fly, we tell you why. We are frequently asked to look into slipped or missing slates on a high roof and slates or tiles shifted by high winds, on tall and steep roofs, large and complex roofs and valleys and parapet gutters.
In a village or hamlet like Greatham, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from ground level. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

For landlords and managing agents
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
How the survey changes by roof type
Large commercial roofs
Fragile roof sheets and roof lights can be dangerous to walk on. With a drone, nobody has to go near them.
Steep slate and tile slopes
Walking on fragile coverings can break them. The drone sees them without touching them.
When you need someone else
It’s a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Neighbouring roofs the owner hasn’t asked us to survey
- A structural engineer’s report
- Flying in a flight restriction zone without the airport’s permission

Drone roof surveys in Greatham: local notes
Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.
The streets around a church such as Church of St John the Baptist are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help. Anyone responsible for a site like Greatham Primary School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

Questions from Greatham
Will you come out to Greatham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Is my home in Greatham listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will the drone show what’s under the tiles?
No. It photographs the outside, not the inside. The loft space is checked separately, where there’s safe access.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
How long does the visit take?
On site, it typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Time for the pre-flight checks is included.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to, and the report makes that clear.
What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Around Greatham, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- You give us the address so we can check the airspace.
- If permission is needed, we ask for it before the visit.
- 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 we arrive
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Let us know about parking near the property
