How a drone roof survey works in Hascombe
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The Premium Survey includes a drone inspection where it applies, along with structural analysis, a same-day report and an in-person consultation. It also includes a follow-up after 12 months. If a drone will not help on your roof, we will say so. Every drone survey comes with a written report and close-up photos. If you’ve noticed ponding and splits on a high flat roof and blocked valleys and parapet gutters, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Hascombe, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
The report is written in plain words, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to.

How the survey works
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like Hascombe, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You give us the address and let us know about the roof.
- Any flight restriction at the address is looked at, with permission requested if required.
- We assess the conditions and the take-off spot first.
- We fly the sub-250g drone close to the roof and photograph each area.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Book a survey
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Advice
Practical tips
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Mention anything you’ve noticed on the roof
- Keep pets indoors during the flight
- Expect us to rearrange if it’s too windy or wet
- Let neighbours know about the flight if your roof is shared
Premium also includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see how the roof has changed over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. The underside frequently shows problems before the outside does. Photograph anything new.
DIY checks: what’s safe
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
The top of a stack is usually out of view. A drone gets close to the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings, so cracks and gaps are clear.
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Outlets, edges and roof plant are common problem areas. We photograph them closely.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Hascombe
Photographing a roof from the air doesn’t touch it. Fragile slates and tiles stay as they are, so the survey does not create new problems. In a place like Hascombe, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Our price is from £400, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Drone roof surveys around Hascombe
Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from ground level, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.
With Loseley Park about 4.8 miles north, the area around Hascombe has a long history. Close-up aerial shots and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it.

Around Hascombe
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to The White Horse Public House. Hascombe’s nearest station is Milford (Surrey) station, about 3 miles west of the centre. A little further out are Milford Hospital (2.6 miles north-west) and Godalming Museum (3.1 miles north-west). Not far away are Lower Lake and Hydon's Ball.
What we’re asked to look at in Hascombe
Not every roof can take a person’s weight. Old slates and clay tiles crack underfoot, and fragile sheet roofs are dangerous to walk on. A drone lets us see them closely without touching them.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Lifted or split lead flashings
- Ridge and hip pieces working loose
- Damage after a storm that can’t be seen from below
- Eroded pointing on a chimney stack
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.

Your questions about drone roof surveys in Hascombe
How do I find out if my home in Hascombe is listed?
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.
Will you come out to Hascombe?
Yes, Hascombe is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How long does a drone roof survey take?
On site, it typically takes about one to two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Time for the pre-flight checks is included.
Are you registered with the CAA?
Yes, we are. The CAA has issued us a Flyer ID and an Operator ID, and the drone itself is under 250g, kept within sight on every flight.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access as you book.
Can the drone do thermal imaging?
The drone survey is a photographic inspection. Thermal imaging is a separate check, and it is part of the Premium Survey.
Are there drone restrictions in central London?
Central London has restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs, where flights need permission from NATS. We check before every flight and seek permission where needed.
