- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Chimney tops in poor condition
Airspace, weather and Hampton roofs
London’s airspace includes flight restriction zones around Heathrow, London City Airport and London Heliport, and restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs. Each address is checked against all of them before the drone goes up. Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. In the open category, flights stay below 120 m (400 ft) and within sight.
For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints' Hampton, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image. For businesses in and around places like Treaty Centre, big, flat commercial roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help most.

How a drone roof survey works in Hampton
Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. We keep it in sight throughout, and within the 120-metre limit that applies to all drones in the open category. Every flight is planned around the roof, the site and the people nearby. Before every flight, we check the airspace and the weather. Safety comes first on every visit. We survey valleys and parapet gutters, fragile roofs and large and complex roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are lifted or split lead flashings and moss and weeds taking hold up top.
Flying in London takes more checking than most places: there are flight restriction zones around Heathrow, London City and London Heliport, and restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs. Every address in Hampton is checked before any drone flight, and permission is never taken for granted.
After the visit, you get a report with photographs, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What we look for on each type of roof
Large commercial roofs
Big roofs on offices, warehouses and units take time to inspect. A drone photographs the whole surface methodically.
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Flat roof coverings wear out at different rates. Photos show how the covering is wearing.
The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. For a visit in Hampton, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. We then look at whatever is safely visible from ground level, windows, the loft and, where it’s safe, the roof itself.
- We start with the address and what you’d like checked.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where needed.
- We assess the conditions and the take-off spot first.
- Close-up photos are taken of each slope, chimney, valley and gutter, with the drone always in view.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Keep pets in another room

Hampton: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for a survey in Hampton?
It rarely stops a survey, but it’s worth planning. Let us know what parking is available nearby, and the visit is planned around it.
Are there drone restrictions around Hampton?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. London’s airspace includes flight restriction zones around Heathrow, London City Airport and London Heliport, and restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs. Each address is checked against all of them before the drone goes up. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour.
What happens after the survey?
You receive the written report by email, with photographs and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £400, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you work in Hampton?
Yes. We survey roofs in Hampton and the rest of Greater London. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
What this survey cannot tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Flights in strong wind or a downpour
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
- Anything inside the loft or under the coverings

Do you need a drone roof survey in Hampton?
Strong winds can lift slates, tiles and ridge pieces. Damage on a high or steep roof is hard to judge from the garden. A drone shows what has slipped, lifted or gone.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Lead work pulling away at abutments
- Hidden gutters full of leaves
- Storm damage on steep or tall roofs
- Loose ridge and hip tiles
For a London address like Hampton, it’s useful to know about controlled parking before the day, along with any off-street space.
