North Street: your questions answered
Is North Street within the area you cover?
Yes, North Street 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 Street listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we are not structural engineers and do not carry out calculations. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
What happens after the survey?
You receive the written report by email, with photographs and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
What does the report include?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photos throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
How much does a drone roof survey cost in North Street?
Our price is from £400, including VAT. Our Basic Survey starts from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included.
Will you photograph next door’s garden?
We point the camera at your roof only. Next door’s windows and gardens are kept out of shot as far as possible. A quick word with the neighbours is a good idea.
Drone roof survey in North Street: what you get
A drone shows the outside of a roof very well, but it can’t see under the coverings or into the loft. We check the loft from inside where it is safe, because the underside tells its own story. Together, the two give a fuller picture. Your report shows the drone photos alongside what we saw in the loft. Where the loft can’t be reached safely, we note it. Typical surveys look at lifted or split lead flashings and loose ridge and hip tiles, across valleys and parapet gutters, flat roofs on upper floors and chimney stacks.
In a small place like North Street, open ground can mean strong wind. Strong wind or a downpour stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Roof by roof
Steep slate and tile slopes
Walking on fragile coverings can break them. The drone sees them without touching them, so the survey doesn’t add damage.
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Outlets, edges and roof plant are common problem areas. We photograph them closely, as far as the flight allows.
What a drone roof survey looks like in North Street
Bentworth Hall, about 3.9 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around North Street. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ropley Church of England Primary School, big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.

If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll recommend the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaving a high roof unchecked means relying on what you can see from below. Close-up photos show what’s really there. Seeing the problem makes it easier to decide what to do. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like North Street, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Why book with us
- Prices that include VAT
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays

Signs you need a drone roof survey in North Street
After storms, owners want to know what has moved. It is hard to tell from below what has shifted. Close-up photos make it clear what has been disturbed.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Storm damage on steep or tall roofs
- Cracked slates and tiles out of sight from below
- Worn lead at chimneys and walls
- Tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. In a small place like North Street, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start by checking the airspace and any restrictions at your address.
- Where a flight restriction zone or restricted area applies, we seek permission first.
- Before the flight, we check the conditions and the take-off spot.
- The sub-250g drone takes close-up photographs of the roof, kept in sight throughout.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking before the day
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Keep pets in another room
