Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Knights Enham
Tall, steep, large or fragile roofs can’t always be inspected up close. Our drone roof survey gets a camera close to them without anyone climbing. You see slates, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters in detail. The photos go into a written report. It also suits roofs that would be damaged by someone walking on them. Where a flight is not possible, we explain why. If you’re worried about chimney tops in poor condition and slipped or missing slates on a high roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a small place like Knights Enham, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Knights Enham questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Knights Enham?
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.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Knights Enham?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
How much does a drone roof survey cost in Knights Enham?
Prices start from £400, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we are not structural engineers and don’t carry out calculations. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
What will the report tell me?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photos. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
What affects the price in Knights Enham
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Roof area
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
We confirm the exact price before you book, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £400, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
What we are asked to look at in Knights Enham
Big commercial and industrial roofs cover a lot of ground. A drone can photograph a large roof methodically, showing patterns of wear that are hard to spot up close. That gives a clearer picture of the roof as a whole.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Ridge pieces that have lifted
- Wind damage high on the roof
- Chimney tops in poor condition
- Slipped or missing slates on a high roof
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Roman Way Primary School, big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.
What to check before booking
- How soon the report will arrive
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Are they insured for the work?
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
Why get it checked now?
Close-up photos make conversations with roofers clearer. They show the location and extent of each defect, which helps when you ask for quotes. For older village homes like those around Knights Enham, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we’ll tell you which fits.

The survey, step by step
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a small place like Knights Enham, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You give us the address and tell us 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.
- The drone photographs the roof closely, kept in sight throughout.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
How to book
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
Related advice
Flying and imaging in Knights Enham
Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up photos from the air and thermal images help.
Take an older house close to Church of St Michael and All Angels: older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
