Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hampers Green
We fly a sub-250g drone, and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator, with a Flyer ID and an Operator ID. It stays within sight for the whole flight, and well below the 120-metre height limit. Every flight is planned around the roof, the site and the people nearby. Airspace and weather are checked before every flight. Safety comes first on every visit. We survey valleys and parapet gutters, tall and steep roofs and chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are plant growth and moss on the roof and wind damage high on the roof.
In a small place like Hampers Green, 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.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What affects the cost of drone roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Getting in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- When you need the report by
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- The address and postcode of the property
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
Signs you need a drone roof survey in Hampers Green
Chimney tops take the worst of the weather. From the ground, you rarely see cracked flaunching or loose pots. A drone gets close enough to see them in detail.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Slipped or missing slates on a high roof
- Chimney tops in poor condition
- Damage after a storm that can’t be seen from below
- Flashings that have come away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Petworth Cof E Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Will the report include photos?

Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Hampers Green: your questions answered
Is drone flying allowed in Hampers Green?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour.
Is my home in Hampers Green listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How much does a drone roof survey cost in Hampers Green?
Prices start from £400, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, including VAT.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
How long will you be at the property?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take between one and two hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. The written report follows by email.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day. Just say which days work for you.
What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take an hour or two for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Around Hampers Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, we check the address for flight restrictions.
- We arrange any permission that’s 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.
- Your report arrives by email, with close-up photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Let us know where we can park nearby
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Useful tips for Hampers Green property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. A few suggestions:
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
- Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
- Mention anything you’ve noticed on the roof
- A word with neighbours beforehand helps
Keep the photos with your property records. They’re a useful baseline for future surveys.
Plan a drone survey every few years for tall or large roofs. Comparing surveys shows what is wearing, and early repairs keep water out.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A drone record gives you a baseline. Comparing them with later photos shows what has changed. It helps when you plan ahead. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hampers Green can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.

Historic houses such as Petworth House, about 0.6 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Hampers Green goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
