About our drone roof survey in Quidhampton
Before any flight, we check the airspace. Near protected airports like Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton, flight restriction zones mean permission is needed first. Central London has restricted areas of its own, which need NATS permission. If we can’t fly, we use other safe vantage points instead and explain why. Prison sites also have drone restriction zones. We are often asked to look into ponding and splits on a high flat roof and moss and weeds taking hold up top, across tall and steep roofs, chimney stacks and fragile roofs.
In a small place like Quidhampton, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. 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.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

The survey, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photographs, emailed to you. As for time on site, most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. In a small place like Quidhampton, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- First, we check the address for flight restrictions.
- If permission is needed, we ask for it ahead of the visit.
- On the day, we check the weather and the site before flying.
- The drone captures close-up photos of the coverings, chimneys, valleys and gutters.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

Advice
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos.
Prices for drone roof surveys in Quidhampton
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- House, block, shop or office
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Height and safe access
- Roof area
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Getting in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- The property’s address and postcode
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- What made you get in touch
We confirm the price for your survey before booking, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £400, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Your questions about drone roof surveys in Quidhampton
Is my home in Quidhampton listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Are there drone restrictions around Quidhampton?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. High wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
Do you look in the roof space?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof often shows damp, staining or daylight that cannot be seen from outside.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Quidhampton
It’s hard to plan maintenance for a roof nobody has looked at. You get photos of every part we can see. That helps you put the work in order. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Quidhampton, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.

Flying and imaging in Quidhampton
Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. 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 the council is the place to ask.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.

Do you need a drone roof survey in Quidhampton?
Steep and tall roofs are hard to inspect safely. Three-storey houses, blocks of flats and tall commercial buildings are common examples. We fly from the ground and bring the camera close to the roof.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Vegetation in valleys and gutters
- Blistered or cracked flat roof coverings
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Chimney tops in poor condition
Take a building like Overton Church of England Primary School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- Are they insured for the work?
- Will the report include photos?
Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
