Ibworth Drone Roof Survey
We carry out drone roof surveys in Ibworth and the rest of Hampshire. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
- Coverings that have slipped high up on the roof
- Worn lead at chimneys and walls
- Eroded pointing on a chimney stack
Landlords, agents and block managers in Ibworth
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the survey around it.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
Drone roof survey in Ibworth: what you get
From the air, the outer surfaces are clear, but it cannot see inside. Where there’s safe access, we look in the loft space too, since that’s where leaks and condensation often show first. Together, the two give a fuller picture. The report sets out what the drone showed and what we found inside. If there is no safe loft access, the report says so. We survey valleys and parapet gutters, fragile roofs and tall and steep roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are flat roofs on upper floors that hold water and plant growth and moss on the roof.
In a small place like Ibworth, open ground can mean strong wind. High wind or heavy rain 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.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What else we do in Ibworth
What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere as small as Ibworth, access is often 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.
- We confirm whether a drone suits your roof.
- We agree a date, including weekends, subject to the weather.
- We fly over the roof, keeping the camera on the property we’re surveying.
- If the loft can be reached safely, it’s checked too.
- Everything is written up, with the aerial photos and our advice.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Leave a clear route to the loft

If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons.

Your questions about drone roof surveys in Ibworth
Is drone flying allowed in Ibworth?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. A small drone can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain.
Is Ibworth within the area you cover?
Yes. Ibworth is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
How long does the survey take?
It typically takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The report follows by email.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we will explain what’s needed.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
When does the report arrive?
It depends on the package: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. Reports are sent by email.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
What this survey can’t tell you
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Structural calculations (that is a structural engineer’s job)
- Flights in high wind or heavy rain
- Neighbouring roofs the owner hasn’t asked us to survey
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll recommend the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.

What we’re asked to look at in Ibworth
From the pavement, most of a tall roof is out of sight. You can’t see the back slope, the valleys or the chimney tops. Problems in those places often go unseen until they leak.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Loose ridge and hip tiles
- Tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack
- Flashings that have come away
- Moss building up on slopes and in gutters
In and around Ibworth, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early.
