Drone roof survey in Hampden Park: what you get
Drone surveys suit tall houses, blocks of flats, steep roofs and large commercial roofs. They also suit fragile roofs that nobody should walk on. You get close-up views without anyone setting foot on the roof. Before the visit, we check the address for any airspace restrictions that apply. We’ll tell you if another approach would work better. If you are worried about slipped or missing slates on a high roof and slates or tiles shifted by high winds, we can find out what’s behind it, on large and complex roofs, flat roofs on upper floors and valleys and parapet gutters alike.
Around Hampden Park, plenty of roofs are low enough to see partly from the garden or the street. Chimney tops, valleys and rear slopes are where close-up or thermal images help most. Both depend on the weather on the day. Close-up images often show wear on ridges, verges and flashings that cannot be judged properly from ground level.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What a drone roof survey looks like in Hampden Park
Hampden Park is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind off the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it’s listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
Take a building like Heron Park Primary Academy: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

Do you need a drone roof survey in Hampden Park?
From the pavement, most of a tall roof is out of sight. You cannot see the back slope, the valleys or the chimney tops. Problems in those places often go unseen until they leak, which is why owners turn to a drone.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots
- Slates or tiles shifted by high winds
- Hidden gutters full of leaves
- Ridge and hip pieces working loose
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Mary's Church, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Before you book anyone
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
Why act early in Hampden Park
Faults on high roofs tend to be found late. By then, timbers, ceilings and insulation may be wet. A drone survey finds them sooner. Arranging work in a smaller place like Hampden Park is easier with notice than in an emergency. A survey gives you that notice.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why book us in Hampden Park
- Package prices that include VAT
- An independent view of the roof
- Surveys seven days a week

Hampden Park: your questions answered
Is my home in Hampden Park listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will you come out to Hampden Park?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Does the drone show the underside of the roof?
No. It photographs the outside, not the inside. For the underside, we check the loft where it can be reached safely, as damp and daylight often show there first.
When does the report arrive?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. Each one is emailed.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
What we can’t see
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- Neighbouring roofs the owner hasn’t asked us to survey
- Flights in high wind or heavy rain
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roof types and parts we check
- Large and complex roofs
- Fragile roofs
- Chimney stacks
- Flat roofs on upper floors
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Tall and steep roofs
For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which helps when tenants work during the week.
How it works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Hampden Park, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- First, we check the address for flight restrictions.
- Where a flight restriction zone or restricted area applies, we seek permission first.
- Before the flight, we check the conditions and the take-off spot.
- The drone captures close-up photos of the coverings, chimneys, valleys and gutters.
- We email a written report with the photos and our recommendations.
Before the survey
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
How to book
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
