What a drone roof survey looks like in North Boarhunt
North Boarhunt lies within about 4 miles of the sea, and wind near the sea can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, so the weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons.
The streets around a church such as Church of the Holy Trinity are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help. If you run a business near Fareham Shopping Centre, big, flat commercial roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images help most.
North Boarhunt is about 4 miles north-east of Fareham, in Hampshire. We provide drone roof surveys for householders, landlords and businesses in North Boarhunt and the surrounding area. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire, large and small. We also survey roofs in Portsmouth.

Drone roof survey in North Boarhunt
Drones need reasonable weather. Strong wind or a downpour rules out a flight, because control and safety come first. If the day turns out unsuitable, we’ll talk about another date or inspect what we can by other means. The forecast is checked ahead of the visit and again on the day. Calm, dry conditions give the sharpest close-up photos. Waiting for a better day is better than a rushed flight. We survey tall and steep roofs, flat roofs on upper floors and large and complex roofs, and people most frequently book us about flashings that have come away and blocked valleys and parapet gutters.
In a village or hamlet like North Boarhunt, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you cannot get from the ground. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
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
Large commercial roofs cover a lot of ground. A drone photographs the whole surface methodically.
Steep slate and tile slopes
Old slates and clay tiles can crack underfoot. The drone sees them without touching them, so the survey does not add damage.
Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Be ready to move the date if the weather turns
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
- Tell us about any leaks or concerns
- Keep dogs indoors during the visit
Premium also includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows whether anything has moved or worn since the first visit.
Have high or hard-to-reach roofs surveyed every few years. Comparing surveys shows what is wearing, and early repairs keep water out.
When you need someone else
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Photos in conditions too poor to fly
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
- Flights in a restricted zone without permission
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will suggest the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.

FAQs for North Boarhunt
Is North Boarhunt within the area you cover?
Yes, North Boarhunt is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in North Boarhunt 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 is 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.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How much is a survey?
Prices start from £400, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, and it is agreed before booking.
Does the weather affect a drone survey?
Bad weather means no flight. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, so we’d move the date with you.
Are you registered with the CAA?
Yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. Our drone weighs under 250g and keep it in sight at all times.

The survey, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. For a village or hamlet like North Boarhunt, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with the address and what you’d like checked.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where needed.
- Before take-off, the wind, the weather and the launch spot are looked at.
- The drone photographs the roof closely, kept in sight throughout.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets in another room
Booking a survey

Advice

Signs you need a drone roof survey in North Boarhunt
Not every roof can take a person’s weight. Old slates and clay tiles crack underfoot, and some sheet roofs are fragile. A drone lets us see them closely without touching them.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Loose ridge and hip tiles
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Chimney tops in poor condition
- Blocked valleys and parapet gutters
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Newtown Soberton Infant School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
What to check before booking
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Is VAT included in the price?
- How soon the report will arrive
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
