Drone roof surveys around Pusey
Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. Flights in the open category stay under 120 m (400 ft), with the drone kept in sight. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons.
Historic houses such as Longworth House, about 2.4 miles north-east, show how far back building around Pusey goes. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from the ground, and a survey from above or with a thermal imager doesn’t touch the roof itself. Take an older house close to Church of All Saints: steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.

About our drone roof survey in Pusey
Tall, steep, large or fragile roofs cannot always be inspected up close. A drone takes close-up photographs of those roofs from the air. You see slates, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters in detail, including slopes that cannot be seen from the street. Everything we find goes into a photo-illustrated written report. It also suits roofs that would be damaged by someone walking on them. Where a flight isn’t possible, we explain why. We survey tall and steep roofs, flat roofs on upper floors and large and complex roofs, and people most frequently book us about loose ridge and hip tiles and tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack.
Older buildings in small places like Pusey may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager does not touch 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.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

How the survey works
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 get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. For a village or hamlet like Pusey, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- 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 photos of the roof, kept in sight throughout.
- We email a written report with the photographs and our recommendations.
How to prepare
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Leave side gates unlocked

What happens if roof problems are left?
Small defects on a high roof grow with each storm. Spotting them early keeps the work smaller. Around Pusey, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.

Common roof problems in Pusey
After storms, owners want to know what has moved. It’s hard to tell from below what has shifted. A drone shows what has slipped, lifted or gone.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack
- Debris building up in hidden gutters
- Lead work pulling away at abutments
- Standing water on a flat roof
Anyone responsible for a site like Buckland Church of England Primary School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured for the work?
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
When you need someone else
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- The underside of the roof (that needs an inside check)
- A structural engineer’s report
- A flight where airspace permission is refused

Pusey questions
Is drone flying allowed in Pusey?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain.
How do I find out if my home in Pusey is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What’s in the survey report?
Written findings with photos, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations, by urgency where it matters. 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 experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
What do I do with the report?
The report comes by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
