Drone roof survey in Mockbeggar, Hampshire
Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Mockbeggar. We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Coverings that have slipped high up on the roof
- Wind damage high on the roof
- Chimney tops in poor condition
Useful tips for Mockbeggar property owners
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Tell us about any leaks or concerns
- Clear the loft hatch so we can check inside too
- Expect us to rearrange if it’s too windy or wet
- Let us know the exact address when you book
Premium also includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see how the roof has changed over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Keep the roof space ventilated. Condensation in the loft can damage timbers and insulation. Keep insulation clear of the eaves.
Drone roof survey in Mockbeggar
From the air, the outer surfaces are clear, but it cannot see under the coverings or into the loft. Where there is safe access, we look in the roof space too, since that’s where leaks and condensation often show first. Together, the two give a fuller picture. The report sets out what the drone showed and what we found inside. If there’s no safe loft access, the report says so. Common reasons to book are cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots and ponding and splits on a high flat roof, on valleys and parapet gutters, flat roofs on upper floors and chimney stacks.
Villages like Mockbeggar often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. 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. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
Our drone check of a chimney is visual, and it is not a flue or gas safety check. We’ll say if a specialist is needed.
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Leaks frequently start at outlets, edges and around plant. We photograph them closely, as far as the flight allows.
Drones, thermal imaging and Mockbeggar roofs
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up aerial photos and thermal images help. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Whatever the street in Mockbeggar, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early. If you live in an older home near Church of St Martins, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey typically takes between one and two hours for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a hamlet or village like Mockbeggar, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You give us the address and let us know about the roof.
- Any flight restriction at the address is checked, with permission requested if required.
- We assess the conditions and the take-off spot first.
- We fly the sub-250g drone close to the roof and photograph each area.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.

Mockbeggar questions
Do you cover smaller places like Mockbeggar?
Yes, Mockbeggar is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is my home in Mockbeggar listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
How much is a survey?
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Our three packages are Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included.
When does the report arrive?
Each package has its own report time. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. If you have a deadline, like an exchange date, let us know when you book.
Can you survey a roof inside a flight restriction zone?
Near airports like Heathrow, Gatwick, London City and Stansted, flight restriction zones apply. We check your address and ask for permission where it is required. If it is not given, we inspect by other means.
What’s in the report?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photographs. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
Does the weather affect a drone survey?
Bad weather means no flight. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, so a new date is agreed with you, or look from other safe viewpoints if you’d rather.
What affects the price in Mockbeggar
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The size of the roof
- Height and safe access
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

Other services in Mockbeggar
For landlords and managing agents
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on, photos included.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the addresses.
Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
