FAQs for Hungerford
Will you come out to Hungerford?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Hungerford is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
When does the report arrive?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can you fly a drone in central London?
In some places, only with permission. Restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs need NATS permission before a flight. We check each address first, and fall back on other viewpoints if we can’t fly.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. If one is needed, the report says so.
How much does a drone roof survey cost in Hungerford?
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, confirmed before anything is booked.
Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hungerford
Every flight starts with an airspace check. Flight restriction zones around airports such as Heathrow, Gatwick and London City need permission from the airport or air traffic control. Parts of central London have restricted areas too, where NATS permission is needed. If permission isn’t given, we inspect by other means and explain why. Prison sites also have drone restriction zones. We’re often asked to look into ponding and splits on a high flat roof and vegetation in valleys and gutters, across chimney stacks, valleys and parapet gutters and tall and steep roofs.
Somewhere as small as Hungerford, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Weather and airspace are looked at before the visit. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Airspace, weather and Hungerford roofs
The drone we use is under 250g, flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID. Flights in the open category stay under 120 m (400 ft), with the drone kept in sight. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions.
Breamore House, about 4.3 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Hungerford. Aerial photos and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Ascension, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.

Practical tips
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Let us know about any leaks or concerns
- Tell next door if the drone will be near their property
- Allow for a change of day in poor weather
- Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
The Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation to go through what the drone showed. It is a chance to ask about anything in the report.
Have leaves and moss cleared from gutters, valleys and outlets, particularly in autumn. On high roofs, leave clearing to a professional. Many leaks start with a blocked outlet.
What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
What we’re asked to look at in Hungerford
Many roofs are never seen properly from ground level. You can’t see the back slope, the valleys or the chimney tops. Problems in those places often go unseen until they leak.
We are often asked to look at:
- Loose ridge and hip tiles
- Eroded pointing on a chimney stack
- Wind damage high on the roof
- Vegetation in valleys and gutters
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hyde Church of England Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What exactly goes into their report
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
Prices for drone roof surveys in Hungerford

- Which survey package you book
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- House, block, shop or office
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
What we need to know

- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The property’s address and postcode
- Anything about access we should know

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey seven days a week, which can make access easier.
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we look at everything we can see safely. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. For a village or hamlet like Hungerford, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First comes the address, plus a note of what worries you 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.
- Close-up photos are taken of each slope, chimney, valley and gutter, with the drone always in view.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
