Drone roof survey in Hazeley: what you get
From the air, the outer surfaces are clear, but it cannot see inside. We check the loft from inside where it’s safe, since that is where leaks and condensation often show first. Together, the two give a fuller picture. Your report shows the drone photos alongside what we saw in the loft. Where the loft cannot be reached safely, we note it. Common reasons to book are ridge and hip pieces working loose and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, on flat roofs on upper floors, tall and steep roofs and large and complex roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Hazeley are listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Drones, thermal imaging and Hazeley roofs
Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up photos from the air and thermal images help.
For an older house near a landmark like Mattingley Church, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps.
Hazeley is about 4 miles west of Yateley, in Hampshire. We carry out drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hazeley and nearby. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire. There is also a page for Reading.

For landlords and managing agents
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photographs, useful for planning maintenance.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. Older roofs in small places like Hazeley can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You give us the address and tell us about the roof.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where needed.
- Before take-off, the wind, the weather and the launch spot are checked.
- The drone photographs the roof closely, kept in sight throughout.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Hazeley questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hazeley?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Are there drone restrictions around Hazeley?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we don’t carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
Do you work in Hazeley?
Yes. We cover Hazeley and the rest of Hampshire. To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Why act early in Hazeley
It’s hard to plan maintenance for a roof nobody has looked at. You get photos of every part we can see, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can tackle the urgent items first. For older village homes like those around Hazeley, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices start from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.

Signs you need a drone roof survey in Hazeley
Big commercial and industrial roofs cover a lot of ground. The drone covers the surface area by area. That gives a clearer picture of the roof as a whole.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Eroded pointing on a chimney stack
- Ridge and hip pieces working loose
- Plant growth and moss on the roof
- Lifted or split lead flashings
Stratfield Saye House lies about 3.1 miles north-west, so building around Hazeley goes back a long way. A drone or thermal survey does not involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings.
What to check before booking
- How long the report takes to arrive
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Which limits apply to the survey
DIY checks: what’s safe
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
