How a drone roof survey works in Micheldever Station
Neighbours’ privacy matters on every flight. The camera stays on your roof, not on gardens or windows next door. If your roof is shared, a word with next door beforehand helps. We survey the roof you’ve asked us to look at. Flights are kept as short as the job allows and focused on the roof in question. Typical surveys look at lead work pulling away at abutments and slipped or missing slates on a high roof, on chimney stacks, tall and steep roofs and valleys and parapet gutters.
In a small place like Micheldever Station, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, 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.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It’s useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Common roof problems in Micheldever Station
The top of a stack is the most exposed part of many roofs. Cracked flaunching, loose pots and eroded pointing are frequently invisible from below. Close-up drone photos show their condition.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Blocked valleys and parapet gutters
- Cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots
- Flat roofs on upper floors that hold water
- Ridge pieces that have lifted
Around Micheldever Station, each roof gets the same safe, thorough look, and the findings in plain words.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
The survey, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take an hour or two at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. In a small place like Micheldever Station, access is usually 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.
- We start by checking the airspace and any restrictions at your address.
- If permission is needed, we ask for it ahead of the visit.
- Before the flight, we check the conditions and the take-off spot.
- We fly the drone close to the roof to photograph it in detail, always in sight.
- We email a written report with the photos and our recommendations.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Drones, thermal imaging and Micheldever Station roofs
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. In the open category, flights stay below 120 m (400 ft) and within sight.
For any home in Micheldever Station, it’s the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.

FAQs for Micheldever Station
Is my home in Micheldever Station listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Are there drone restrictions around Micheldever Station?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
How much is a survey?
Our price is from £400, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect what can safely be seen: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
How we price drone roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see

- Basic, Standard or Premium
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before you book.

Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- When you need the report by
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
