Drone roof surveys around Inhurst
Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area.
Anyone responsible for a site like The Hurst School will know that big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.

Drone roof survey in Inhurst
Drones need reasonable weather. High wind or heavy rain rules out a flight, because control and safety come first. If the day turns out unsuitable, we’ll talk about another date or inspect what we can by other means. The forecast is checked ahead of the visit and again on the day. Calm, dry conditions give the sharpest close-up photos. A short delay is better than a rushed flight. If you’ve noticed ridge and hip pieces working loose and blocked valleys and parapet gutters, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Inhurst, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Weather and airspace are checked ahead of the visit. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Common questions in Inhurst
Is drone flying allowed in Inhurst?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. High wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
Do you cover smaller places like Inhurst?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
What if it rains on the day?
Light rain is typically fine; heavy rain and wind are different. High wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but we do not provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. The report will say if you need an engineer.
How do I arrange a drone roof survey in Inhurst?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Common roof problems in Inhurst
Height and steep pitches make close inspection risky. Tall townhouses, blocks of flats and offices are typical. A drone gets close-up views from a safe position on the ground.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Loose ridge and hip tiles
- Slipped or missing slates on a high roof
- Worn lead at chimneys and walls
- Eroded pointing on a chimney stack
The streets around a church such as Saint Mary's Church are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How soon the report will arrive
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether VAT is added on top
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
When you need someone else
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- Flying in a flight restriction zone without the airport’s permission
- Close-up photos of next door’s property

What we do, step by step
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes between one and two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Inhurst can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- You give us the address so we can check the airspace.
- Where a flight restriction zone or restricted area applies, we seek permission first.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Getting a price
Prices start from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.
Advice
Why it’s worth a survey now in Inhurst
Small defects on a high roof grow with each storm. Finding them now means less to put right. For older village homes like those around Inhurst, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.

Roof by roof
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Leaks often start at outlets, edges and around plant. We photograph them closely, as far as the flight allows.
Chimney stacks
Chimney tops are hard to see from ground level. A drone gets close to the pots, flaunching, pointing and flashings, so cracks and gaps are clear.
