How we price drone roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Height and safe access
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
What we need to know
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or email us to find out.
Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Passfield
Drone roof surveys are available in Passfield and throughout London and South East England, where the airspace and the weather allow. Flights take place on weekdays and at weekends. Every address is checked for airspace restrictions first. The report includes the drone photos and our recommendations. To ask whether a drone survey suits your roof, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address. We survey valleys and parapet gutters, chimney stacks and large and complex roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are ridge and hip pieces working loose and damage after a storm that can’t be seen from below.
Older buildings in small places like Passfield may be listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Tips from our surveys
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Shut pets inside while we fly
- Allow time for permission if you are in a flight restriction zone
- Be ready to move the date if the weather turns
- Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
Premium also includes a 12-month follow-up. It helps you see how the roof has changed over the year.
Plan a drone survey every few years for tall or large roofs. Comparing surveys shows what is wearing, and early repairs keep water out.
What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
Passfield: your questions answered
Is drone flying allowed in Passfield?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour.
Do you cover smaller places like Passfield?
Yes, Passfield is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when booking.
Do you look in the loft space?
Normally, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. The loft space can show things the outside cannot, such as damp timbers, staining or daylight.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
What will the report tell me?
A photo-illustrated written report, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
How long does the survey take?
It typically takes about one to two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. We will confirm the timing when booking.
For landlords and managing agents
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client, photographs included.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
What happens on the day
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take an hour or two for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. Somewhere like Passfield needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We confirm whether a drone suits your roof.
- A date is fixed, with a fallback in case the weather turns.
- The roof is photographed from the air, with the camera kept on your property.
- Where there is safe access, we check the loft as well.
- The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
Flying and imaging in Passfield
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up photos from the air and thermal images help. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your 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, so check with the council.
If you look after a building such as Mill Chase Academy, big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once. Around Passfield, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
- Flights in high wind or heavy rain
