Prices for drone roof surveys in Ringwood
To price your survey, we check:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The roof’s overall size
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
What to tell us when you contact us
A few details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, tell us:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Ringwood
Our drone weighs under 250g, and we are a CAA-registered drone operator, with a Flyer ID and an Operator ID. We keep it in sight throughout, and within the 120-metre limit that applies to all drones in the open category. Every flight is planned around the roof, the site and the people nearby. Airspace and weather are checked before every flight. We never fly where it is not safe. If you’ve noticed ridge and hip pieces working loose and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Around Ringwood, lots of roofs are low enough to see partly from the garden or the street. Chimney tops, valleys and rear slopes are where close-up or thermal images help most. The forecast decides the day, as calm, dry conditions suit both. Close-up images often show wear on ridges, verges and flashings that cannot be judged properly from the ground.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Questions from Ringwood
Do you cover smaller places like Ringwood?
Yes, Ringwood is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Ringwood?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
How do I book a survey in Ringwood?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey seven days a week.
What happens if the weather is bad?
The conditions on the day decide whether a flight goes ahead. We will not fly in strong wind or heavy rain. If the weather turns, we’ll discuss another date.
How quickly is the report sent?
Each package has its own report time. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline when booking.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, confirmed before anything is booked.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Ringwood
Photographing a roof from the air does not touch it. Nothing is cracked or dislodged by footsteps, so the survey does not create new problems. In a smaller place like Ringwood, wherever a roof is exposed, a loose ridge or flashing doesn’t stay loose for long. Wind gets under it and lifts more, and water follows.
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.
Why book us in Ringwood

Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Check there’s room outside for the drone to take off
- Tell next door if the drone will be near their property
- Move stored items away from the hatch
- Allow time for permission if you are in a flight restriction zone
Premium also includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows whether anything has moved or worn since the first visit.
After a storm, check from the garden and the street. Debris in the garden is a sign to act on. A drone survey can show what has shifted.
What a drone roof survey looks like in Ringwood
Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. Open category rules keep flights below 120 m (400 ft) and the drone within sight at all times. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons.
Historic houses such as Avon Tyrrell House, about 3.6 miles south-east, show how far back building around Ringwood goes. For older roofs nearby, a look from the air or with a thermal camera is a hands-off way to check condition. Take a building like Ringwood School: big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Trinity Congregational Church, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.

The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available. A typical visit takes an hour or two at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. For a survey in Ringwood, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- You give us the address and let us know about the roof.
- Any flight restriction at the address is looked at, with permission requested if required.
- On the day, we check the wind, weather and site before flying.
- Close-up photos are taken of each slope, chimney, valley and gutter, with the drone always in view.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
Before we arrive
