Drone roof survey in Gundleton
Drone roof surveys are available in Gundleton and throughout London and the South East, where the airspace and the weather allow. We fly on weekdays and at weekends. Every address is checked for airspace restrictions first. You get a written report with close-up photographs and recommendations. To ask whether a drone survey suits your roof, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. Typical surveys look at flat roofs on upper floors that hold water and ridge and hip pieces working loose, across chimney stacks, large and complex roofs and flat roofs on upper floors.
Villages like Gundleton frequently stand in open country, where wind can be strong. Strong wind or a downpour 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.

Do you need a drone roof survey in Gundleton?
Big commercial and industrial roofs cover a lot of ground. The drone covers the surface area by area, showing patterns of wear that are hard to spot up close. That gives a clearer picture of the roof as a whole.
Common reasons to book include:
- Moss building up on slopes and in gutters
- Coverings that have slipped high up on the roof
- Debris building up in hidden gutters
- Wind damage high on the roof
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What happens after the report arrives
- Their insurance cover
What happens on the day
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a hamlet or village like Gundleton, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start by making sure a drone flight makes sense for the roof.
- We agree a date, including weekends, subject to the weather.
- Aerial photos are taken of your roof only, not the neighbours’.
- Where there is safe access, we check the loft as well.
- Everything is written up, with the aerial photos and our advice.
Before the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Arrange a survey
When you’re ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.

What a drone roof survey looks like in Gundleton
Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Steep or complicated roofs are frequently hard to see from ground level, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
If you look after a building like Perins School, big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once. Hinton Ampner House, about 4 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Gundleton. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from the ground, and a survey from the air or with a thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof itself.

Different roofs, different checks
Large commercial roofs
Fragile roof sheets and roof lights can be dangerous to walk on. With a drone, nobody has to go near them.
Chimney stacks
Chimney tops are hard to see from the ground. A drone gets close to the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings, so cracks and gaps are clear.
