Drone roof survey in Rogate: what you get
We carry out drone roof surveys in Rogate and across London and South East England, subject to airspace checks and the weather. Flights take place on weekdays and at weekends. We check the airspace for your address before booking a flight. The report includes the drone photos and our recommendations. To check whether your roof suits a drone survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Common reasons to book are outlets choked with leaves and silt and blistered or cracked flat roof coverings, on fragile roofs, valleys and parapet gutters and large and complex roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Rogate are listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera doesn’t 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.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Rogate
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.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Rogate. To discuss a property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Small defects on a high roof grow with each storm. Finding them now means less to put right, whatever height the roof is. In a place like Rogate, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.

How the survey works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect whatever is safely visible, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey typically takes an hour or two at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere like Rogate needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- We start with the address and what you’d like checked.
- Any flight restriction at the address is checked, 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.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Book a survey
Our price is from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.

What we look for on each type of roof
Ridges and hips
Loose ridge pieces can be lifted in a storm. Spotting them early stops them falling.
Valleys and parapet gutters
Some older terraces have a butterfly roof with a valley in the middle. You cannot see it from the street at all, but it’s plain to see from the air.

Drone roof surveys in Rogate: local notes
We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Flights in the open category stay under 120 m (400 ft), with the drone kept in sight. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
If you look after a building like Rogate CofE Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps. Uppark lies about 4.1 miles south-west, so building around Rogate goes back a long way. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from ground level, and a survey from the air or with a thermal camera does not touch the roof itself.

FAQs for Rogate
Is Rogate within the area you cover?
Yes, Rogate is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Rogate?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a 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.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Will I get photos?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found.
Can a drone see inside my loft?
No. The drone photographs the outer surfaces, but it can’t see under the coverings. We look in the loft from inside where it’s safe.
How long does a drone roof survey take?
It normally takes about one to two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. That includes the checks before the drone goes up.
Is your drone operator registered?
Yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. We fly a sub-250g drone and follow the drone code.
What affects the price in Rogate
To price your survey, we look at:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The roof’s overall size

To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
