Drone Roof Survey in Haslingbourne
Get a clear view of the roof at a property in Haslingbourne from an independent roof surveyor. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Lifted or split lead flashings
- Debris building up in hidden gutters
- Loose ridge and hip tiles
What happens on the day
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Somewhere as small as Haslingbourne, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First, we check whether a drone is the right tool.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday, weather permitting.
- We fly over the roof, keeping the camera on the property we are surveying.
- If the loft can be reached safely, it is checked too.
- The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed

Drone roof survey in Haslingbourne: what you get
They suit tall buildings, steep or large roofs and roofs that are hard to see from ground level. They’re useful where walking on the roof could damage it or isn’t safe, such as old slate, clay tiles or cement sheets. The roof is photographed without being disturbed. We check the airspace for your address ahead of the visit. We will tell you if another approach would work better. If you’ve noticed moss building up on slopes and in gutters and ridge pieces that have lifted, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Villages like Haslingbourne often 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. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
The report is written in plain words, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

Haslingbourne: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Haslingbourne?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Are there drone restrictions around Haslingbourne?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
What will the report tell me?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photos throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £400, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, inc. VAT.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How fast do I get the report?

Drones, thermal imaging and Haslingbourne roofs
Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. With Petworth House about 1.1 miles north-west, Haslingbourne sits in an area with a long building history. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Bartholomew, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image. Take a building like Petworth Cof E Primary School: a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

Prices for drone roof surveys in Haslingbourne
Our packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Roof area
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Height and safe access
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
What to let us know when you contact us
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- What’s prompted the survey
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Let us know about any leaks or concerns
- A word with neighbours beforehand helps
- Keep dogs indoors during the visit
- Book early if you are near an airport
Premium also includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see how the roof has changed over the year.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear, ideally once the leaves have fallen. On high roofs, leave clearing to a professional. Blocked hidden gutters cause many leaks.
Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
You can learn a lot 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.
What we look for on each type of roof
Chimney stacks
Leaning stacks and loose pots are easier to judge from above. Each defect is photographed for the report.
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Felt often lasts around 15 to 20 years, EPDM rubber around 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30. We record the signs of age we can see.
Honest limits
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- A structural engineer’s report
- Photos in conditions too poor to fly
- A flight where airspace permission is refused
