What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaving a high roof unchecked means relying on what you can see from below. Close-up photos show what’s really there. It’s far easier to plan work when you can see the problem. For older village homes like those around Little Posbrook, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Little Posbrook
Drones need reasonable weather. We don’t fly in strong wind or heavy rain, because control and safety come first. If the day turns out unsuitable, we’ll talk about another date. We check the forecast before the visit and again on site. Calm, dry conditions give the sharpest close-up photos. A short delay is better than a rushed flight. If you’ve noticed cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots and ponding and splits on a high flat roof, we can find out what’s behind it.
Some older homes in villages like Little Posbrook are listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Tips that help
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Book early if you’re near an airport
- Keep dogs indoors during the visit
- Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
- Be ready to move the date if the weather turns
The Premium Survey includes an in-person consultation to go through what the drone showed. It’s a chance to ask about anything in the report.
Have high or hard-to-reach roofs surveyed every few years. Regular photos make changes easy to spot, so small faults are dealt with early.

Checking the roof from the ground
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Airspace, weather and Little Posbrook roofs
Little Posbrook is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind off the sea can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, so the weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead. Little Posbrook is about 3 miles from Solent Airport, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly.
The streets around a church like Church of St Peter are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps. A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Little Posbrook means lost rooms as well as repairs.

What happens on the day
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. Around Little Posbrook, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First, we check whether a drone is the right tool.
- A date is fixed, with a fallback in case the weather turns.
- Aerial photos are taken of your roof only, not the neighbours’.
- We also look inside the roof space where it is safe.
- The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Do you need a drone roof survey in Little Posbrook?
After storms, owners want to know what has moved. Damage on a high or steep roof is hard to judge from the garden. Close-up photos make it clear what has been disturbed.
We are frequently asked to look at:
- Coverings that have slipped high up on the roof
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Hidden gutters full of leaves
- Plant growth and moss on the roof
For businesses in and around places such as Fareham Shopping Centre, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- What exactly goes into their report
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
Common questions in Little Posbrook
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Little Posbrook?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Little Posbrook is about 3 miles from Solent Airport, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. A small drone can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain.
Is my home in Little Posbrook 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.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it’s needed and safe to reach, yes. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement.
When does the report arrive?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. Each one is emailed.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
