Drone roof survey in Hurstbourne Tarrant
Neighbours’ privacy matters on every flight. The camera stays on your roof, not on gardens or windows next door. If your roof is shared, a word with next door beforehand helps. We inspect only what the owner has asked us to. Each flight is kept short and stays focused on the roof we’re there to survey. If you’ve noticed slates or tiles shifted by high winds and flat roofs on upper floors that hold water, we can find out what’s behind it, on tall and steep roofs, valleys and parapet gutters and chimney stacks alike.
Villages like Hurstbourne Tarrant frequently stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Do you need a drone roof survey in Hurstbourne Tarrant?
Not every roof can take a person’s weight. Older slates and tiles break easily, and some sheet roofs are fragile. With a drone, the roof is photographed without anyone stepping on it.
People normally book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Plant growth and moss on the roof
- Cracked slates and tiles out of sight from below
- Hidden gutters full of leaves
- Chimney tops in poor condition
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Hurstbourne Tarrant Church of England Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Before booking anyone

Your questions about drone roof surveys in Hurstbourne Tarrant
Will you come out to Hurstbourne Tarrant?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is my home in Hurstbourne Tarrant listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £400, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included.
Are you insured?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Will the drone show what’s under the tiles?
No. It sees only the outer surfaces. Leaks, damp timbers and condensation frequently show first from inside, so we check the loft too where we can.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Useful tips for Hurstbourne Tarrant property owners
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Tell next door if the drone will be near their property
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
- Expect us to rearrange if it’s too windy or wet
- Mention anything you’ve noticed on the roof
The Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation to talk through the photographs and findings. You can ask about anything that is not clear.
Look at the roof from the ground after strong winds. Debris in the garden is a sign to act on. A drone survey can show what has shifted.

Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Hurstbourne Tarrant. To discuss a property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Drones, thermal imaging and Hurstbourne Tarrant roofs
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Peter, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.

- If permission is needed, we ask for it ahead of the visit.
- On the day, we check the weather and the site before flying.
- The drone captures close-up photos of the coverings, chimneys, valleys and gutters.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building

- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
