Drone roof survey in Meonstoke: what you get
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. Every drone survey comes with a written report and close-up photographs. If you are worried about lifted or split lead flashings and damage after a storm that can’t be seen from below, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on fragile roofs, flat roofs on upper floors and chimney stacks alike.
Some older homes in villages like Meonstoke are listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager doesn’t touch the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Can I check my roof myself?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us as you book.
Meonstoke: your questions answered
Are there drone restrictions around Meonstoke?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
How do I find out if my home in Meonstoke is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. The report is sent afterwards by email.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Do you work in Meonstoke?
Yes. We cover Meonstoke and the rest of Hampshire. For a price, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
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 between one and two hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. In a small place like Meonstoke, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You give us the address so we can check the airspace.
- Where a flight restriction zone or restricted area applies, we seek permission first.
- We assess the wind, the weather and the surroundings before take-off.
- The sub-250g drone takes close-up photographs of the roof, kept in sight throughout.
- Your report arrives by email, with close-up photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Keep pets in another room
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

What affects the cost of drone roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The size of the roof
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Which survey package you book
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £400, including VAT.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- What made you get in touch
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The property’s address and postcode
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we’ll recommend the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

Common roof problems in Meonstoke
Steep and tall roofs are hard to inspect safely. Three-storey houses, blocks of flats and tall commercial buildings are common examples. We fly from the ground and bring the camera close to the roof.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Moss and weeds taking hold up top
- Slipped or missing slates on a high roof
- Storm damage on steep or tall roofs
With Hinton Ampner House about 4.8 miles north, the area around Meonstoke has a long history. For older roofs nearby, a look by drone or thermal camera is a hands-off way to check condition.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price includes VAT
- When you will get the report
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- What exactly goes into their report
Roof by roof
Valleys and parapet gutters
Blocked outlets in hidden gutters cause many leaks. We check outlets and photograph any build-up.
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Leaks often start at outlets, edges and around plant. They’re all captured in close-up.
Drone roof surveys around Meonstoke
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from ground level, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help. We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Flights in the open category stay under 120 m (400 ft), with the drone kept in sight.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Andrew, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. If you look after a building such as Meonstoke Church of England Infant School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
