Drone roof survey in Peel Common
Some roofs are hard or unsafe to reach. A drone takes close-up photos of those roofs from the air. It shows coverings, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters clearly. The photos go into a written report. It also suits roofs that would be damaged by someone walking on them. If we cannot fly, we tell you why. If you’ve noticed cracked mortar along the ridge and chimney tops in poor condition, we can find out what’s behind it, on large and complex roofs, chimney stacks and tall and steep roofs alike.
In a small place like Peel Common, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

What we do, step by step
Photos are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about one to two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Somewhere as small as Peel Common, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You give us the address and let us know about the roof.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where needed.
- On the day, we check the wind, weather and site before flying.
- The drone photographs the roof closely, kept in sight throughout.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Book a survey

When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Flying in a flight restriction zone without the airport’s permission
- The underside of the roof (that needs an inside check)
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll recommend the right survey. The full list of what we check.

Peel Common: your questions answered
Are there drone restrictions around Peel Common?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Peel Common is about 1 mile from Solent Airport, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Peel Common?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If the survey needs it and the roof space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions are not right, we will talk to you about another date.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs like sagging are noted, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. The report will say if you need an engineer.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll explain what’s needed.

Drone roof surveys around Peel Common
Peel Common is within about 2 miles of the coast, and wind near the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain. Peel Common is about 1 mile from Solent Airport, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Peel Common Junior School, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once. Take an older house close to Peel Common Mission Church: older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.

Common roof problems in Peel Common
Not every roof can take a person’s weight. Older slates and tiles break easily, and some sheet roofs are fragile. A drone lets us see them closely without touching them.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Slipped or missing slates on a high roof
- Flashings that have come away
- Plant growth and moss on the roof
- Chimney tops in poor condition
If you run a business near Fareham Shopping Centre, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it.
Before you book anyone
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Useful tips for Peel Common property owners
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Book early if you are near an airport
- Tell us the exact address as you book
- Be ready to move the date if the weather turns
- Shut pets inside while we fly
With the Premium Survey, the report arrives the same day. Drone photos are included where we could fly.
Plan a drone survey every few years for tall or large roofs. Regular photos make changes easy to spot, so small faults are dealt with early.
