Martyr Worthy Drone Roof Survey

About our drone roof survey in Martyr Worthy
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. The Premium Survey includes a drone inspection where applicable, along with structural analysis, a same-day report and an in-person consultation. It also includes a follow-up after 12 months. If a drone won’t help on your roof, we’ll say so. You get a written report with the close-up photos from the flight. Common reasons to book are chimney tops in poor condition and cracked slates and tiles out of sight from below, across chimney stacks, valleys and parapet gutters and fragile roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Martyr Worthy, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible.

Before and after the survey
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Shut pets inside while we fly
- Tell us the exact address when booking
- Allow time for permission if you’re in a flight restriction zone
- Clear the loft hatch so we can check inside too
Premium also includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows whether anything has moved or worn since the first visit, and whether work has done its job.
After a storm, check from the garden and the street. Debris in the garden is a sign to act on. A drone can show exactly what has moved.
Signs you need a drone roof survey in Martyr Worthy
Strong winds can lift slates, tiles and ridge pieces. It is hard to tell from below what has shifted. A drone shows what has slipped, lifted or gone.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Blistered or cracked flat roof coverings
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Moss building up on slopes and in gutters
- Eroded pointing on a chimney stack
Take a building like Itchen Abbas Primary School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Before you book anyone
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Their insurance cover
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
What affects the cost of drone roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Roof area
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the exact price before booking.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It is useful to include:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The address and postcode of the property
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What’s prompted the survey
Every survey is priced before it’s booked, so you know where you stand. Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Airspace, weather and Martyr Worthy roofs
An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Open category rules keep flights below 120 m (400 ft) and the drone within sight at all times.
The streets around a church like Church of St Swithin are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a small place like Martyr Worthy, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start by making sure a drone flight makes sense for the roof.
- We agree a date, including weekends, subject to the weather.
- We fly over the roof, keeping the camera on the property we are surveying.
- Where there is safe access, we check the loft as well.
- The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets in another room
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Find any records of previous roof work
Getting a price
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.

Do you cover smaller places like Martyr Worthy?
Yes. Martyr Worthy 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 you book.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Martyr Worthy?
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 strong wind or heavy rain.
How do I book a survey in Martyr Worthy?
Just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Can you survey at the weekend?

What does a roof survey cost?
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. You will know the exact price before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. For a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What happens next?
The report comes by email, and you decide the next step: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
Do you look in the loft space?
Typically, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
