About our drone roof survey in Monxton
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. A drone inspection, where applicable, is also part of our Premium Survey, 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 will not help on your roof, we’ll say so. Every drone survey comes with a written report and close-up photos. Common reasons to book are lifted or split lead flashings and storm damage on steep or tall roofs, on flat roofs on upper floors, fragile roofs and large and complex roofs.
Villages like Monxton often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, 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.
The written findings come 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.

Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Shut pets inside while we fly
- Clear the loft hatch so we can check inside too
- Let neighbours know about the flight if your roof is shared
- Be ready to move the date if the weather turns
If you need work done, roofers can work from the photos. They’ll see exactly where each defect is, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Every so often, look in the loft space with a torch, keeping to boarded areas. The underside often shows problems before the outside does. Photograph anything new.
Monxton: your questions answered
Is drone flying allowed in Monxton?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Is my home in Monxton listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report, and it does not include calculations. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Will I get photos?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found.
Do you look in the roof space?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there’s safe access. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Do you work in Monxton?
Yes. We cover Monxton and the rest of Hampshire. To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
What’s the best way to book?
Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
Why it is worth a survey now in Monxton
It’s hard to plan maintenance for a roof nobody has looked at. Our report shows the condition of each area. You can tackle the urgent items first. For an older or listed building in a place like Monxton, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What you get with us
- An independent view of the roof
- Package prices that include VAT
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- 5,000+ surveys completed

What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Somewhere as small as Monxton, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. 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.
- The roof is photographed from the air, with the camera kept on your property.
- We also look inside the roof space where it is safe.
- Everything is written up, with the aerial photos and our advice.
How to prepare
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
Book a survey
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Monxton
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
Common roof problems in Monxton
Hidden gutters and valleys are easy to overlook. Debris collects where nobody looks, until it causes a leak inside. A drone shows them clearly from above.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Slates or tiles shifted by high winds
- Eroded pointing on a chimney stack
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mary, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Their insurance cover
- What the survey will not cover
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
Drone roof surveys in Monxton: local notes
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from ground level, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
Take a building like Amport Church of England Primary School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
