How a drone roof survey works in North Camp
Before any flight, we check the airspace. Flight restriction zones around airports like Heathrow, Gatwick and London City need permission from the airport or air traffic control. Central London has restricted areas of its own, which need NATS permission. If permission is not given, we inspect by other means and tell you. Prisons have their own drone restriction zones too. If you are worried about coverings that have slipped high up on the roof and outlets choked with leaves and silt, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Older cottages and houses around North Camp may have little insulation, and some have extensions with their own roofs. Thermal patterns and close-up photos together give a fuller picture of the roof. Anything that looks like moisture is checked with a meter. Results depend on the weather, so the visit is planned around the forecast.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes between one and two hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around North Camp, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- We start by making sure a drone flight makes sense for the roof.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday, weather permitting.
- The roof is photographed from the air, with the camera kept on your property.
- If the loft can be reached safely, it is checked too.
- You get photos, findings and clear recommendations.
How to prepare
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Let us know about parking near the property

North Camp: your questions answered
Are there drone restrictions around North Camp?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Farnborough Airport is about 2 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour.
Is North Camp within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We’re roof surveyors, not structural engineers. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we’ll recommend one.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
How do I arrange a drone roof survey in North Camp?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will suggest the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
What do I do with the report?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Prices for drone roof surveys in North Camp
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Height and safe access
- House, block, shop or office
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
Booking your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- Where the property is, with the postcode
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Why it is worth a survey now in North Camp
Leaving a high roof unchecked means relying on what you can see from below. A drone replaces that guesswork with clear photographs, slope by slope. It’s far easier to plan work when you can see the problem. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like North Camp, so it is useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What you get with us
- Drone and thermal imaging surveys available
- Packages from £150, with VAT included

Surveys for landlords and agents in North Camp
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Airspace, weather and North Camp roofs
Farnborough Airport is about 2 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Open category rules keep flights below 120 m (400 ft) and the drone within sight at all times.
Farnham Castle, about 4.8 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around North Camp. For older roofs nearby, a look by drone or thermal camera is a hands-off way to check condition. Anyone responsible for a site like St Mark's Church of England Aided Primary School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Hart Shopping Centre, thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof.
