- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt

Drone roof survey in Middle Wallop: what you get
Drone surveys suit tall houses, blocks of flats, steep roofs and large commercial roofs. They’re useful where walking on the roof could damage it or isn’t safe, such as old slate, clay tiles or cement sheets. You get close-up views without anyone setting foot on the roof. We check the airspace for your address before the visit. If a drone isn’t the right tool, we will say so. We survey large and complex roofs, valleys and parapet gutters and flat roofs on upper floors, and people most frequently book us about moss building up on slopes and in gutters and flat roofs on upper floors that hold water.
Some older homes in villages like Middle Wallop are listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager doesn’t touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Different roofs, different checks
Large commercial roofs
Older cement sheet roofs may contain asbestos. We do not test for it, but we flag it and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor.
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.
Drones, thermal imaging and Middle Wallop roofs
We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). In the open category, flights stay below 120 m (400 ft) and within sight. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your 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, so check with the council.
If you look after a building such as Wallop Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. 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.

Prices for drone roof surveys in Middle Wallop
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Roof area
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
What we need to know
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to let us know:
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.
What happens on the day
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Around Middle Wallop, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You give us the address and tell us about the roof.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where needed.
- We assess the conditions and the take-off spot first.
- We fly the sub-250g drone close to the roof and photograph each area.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
Before the survey
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.
Related advice
What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaving a slipped slate or a blocked valley can turn a small fault into a leak. Spotting them early keeps the work smaller, whatever height the roof is. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Middle Wallop, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.

Questions from Middle Wallop
Is Middle Wallop within the area you cover?
Yes. Middle Wallop 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 as you book.
Is my home in Middle Wallop listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. 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.
Is your drone operator registered?
Yes. We hold both a CAA Flyer ID and an Operator ID. The drone we use weighs under 250g.
How long does the visit take?
Typically, it takes about one to two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. That includes checking the site and the weather before take-off.
Can the drone do thermal imaging?
Not as part of the drone survey, which is about close-up photos. Thermal imaging is a separate check in the Premium Survey.
What if it’s windy or raining on the day?
Safety comes first, so the weather decides. Strong wind and heavy rain both rule out flying. We will talk through the options if the day turns bad.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
