How a drone roof survey works in Liss Forest
Tall, steep, large or fragile roofs can’t always be inspected up close. A drone takes close-up photographs of those roofs from the air. You see slates, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters in detail, including slopes that cannot be seen from the street. The photos go into a written report. It is also a good option where walking on the roof could break slates or tiles. Where a flight isn’t possible, we explain why. We survey fragile roofs, flat roofs on upper floors and tall and steep roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are ridge pieces that have lifted and ponding and splits on a high flat roof.
In a village or hamlet like Liss Forest, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from the ground. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned in advance. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

The survey, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a hamlet or village like Liss Forest, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First comes the address, plus a note of what worries you about the roof.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- On the day, we check the wind, weather and site before flying.
- We fly the sub-250g drone close to the roof and photograph each area.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice

What a drone roof survey looks like in Liss Forest
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons.
If you look after a building such as Liss Infant School, big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.

Why get it checked now?
From ground level, you’re guessing about most of a tall roof. A drone replaces that guesswork with clear photographs. Seeing the problem makes it easier to decide what to do. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

Do you need a drone roof survey in Liss Forest?
Height and steep pitches make close inspection risky. Tall townhouses, blocks of flats and offices are typical. We fly from ground level and bring the camera close to the roof.
People normally book a survey when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Moss and weeds taking hold up top
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Slates or tiles shifted by high winds
- Blistered or cracked flat roof coverings
For an older house near a landmark such as St Saviour's, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their report turnaround times
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?

Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
Roof by roof
Chimney stacks
The drone shows the outside of the stack, not a flue, gas or sweep inspection. If the flue needs a specialist, we’ll tell you.
Large commercial roofs
Fragile roof sheets and roof lights can be dangerous to walk on. A drone keeps everyone off them.

Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:

Your questions about drone roof surveys in Liss Forest
How do I find out if my home in Liss Forest is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Liss Forest?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding.
Is Liss Forest in your area?
Yes. Liss Forest is part of the area we cover, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
How do I book a survey in Liss Forest?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
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 loft space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
