Drone roof survey in Hungerford Green
A drone shows the outside of a roof very well, but it cannot see under the coverings or into the loft. Where there’s safe access, we look in the roof space too, because the underside tells its own story. Together, the two give a fuller picture. The report sets out what the drone showed and what we found inside. Where the loft can’t be reached safely, we note it. Common reasons to book are loose ridge and hip tiles and cracked slates and tiles out of sight from below, across tall and steep roofs, large and complex roofs and fragile roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Hungerford Green, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from ground level. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Different roofs, different checks
Steep slate and tile slopes
Steep slopes are hard to inspect safely on foot. From the air, every course of slates or tiles can be seen, showing slipped, cracked and missing pieces.
Large commercial roofs
Fragile roof sheets and roof lights can be dangerous to walk on. With a drone, nobody has to go near them.

Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Shut pets inside while we fly
- Let neighbours know about the flight if your roof is shared
- Clear a spot on the drive or lawn
- Clear the loft hatch so we can check inside too
The Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation to talk through the photos and findings. You can ask about anything that is not clear.
Have high or hard-to-reach roofs surveyed every few years. Comparing surveys shows what is wearing, and early repairs keep water out.
What happens on the day
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about one to two hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older rural homes like those around Hungerford Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We confirm whether a drone suits your roof.
- A date is fixed, with a fallback in case the weather turns.
- Aerial photos are taken of your roof only, not the neighbours’.
- We also look inside the roof space where it’s safe.
- You get photos, findings and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed

Drone roof surveys in Hungerford Green: local notes
We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Flights in the open category stay under 120 m (400 ft), with the drone kept in sight. Historic houses such as Basildon Park, about 3.4 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Hungerford Green goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's church, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Downs School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

Hungerford Green questions
How do I find out if my home in Hungerford Green is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Will you come out to Hungerford Green?
Yes, Hungerford Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Can a drone see inside my loft?
No. It sees only the outer surfaces. The underside tells us things the drone cannot, so we inspect the loft space as well where access is safe.
Do you hold CAA registration for the drone?
We are. Our Flyer ID and Operator ID come from the CAA, and we fly a drone that weighs under 250g, kept within sight on every flight.
What happens next?
You will get the report by email. With Standard there is a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
How long does the visit take?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. That includes checking the site and the weather before take-off.
What about my neighbours’ privacy?
The camera stays on your roof. We only survey what the owner has asked us to. A word with next door beforehand is a good idea.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Hungerford Green
Planning roof work without seeing the roof is a gamble. Our report shows the condition of each area, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can tackle the urgent items first. Around Hungerford Green, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Why book us in Hungerford Green
