Drone roof survey in Segensworth, Hampshire
Not sure what state the roof is in? We carry out drone roof surveys in Segensworth and across Hampshire.
- Loose ridge and hip tiles
- Damage after a storm that cannot be seen from below
- Chimney tops in poor condition
Should I look at the roof myself first?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
About our drone roof survey in Segensworth
A drone can see more than your roof, so we take care. We keep the camera on the roof we’re surveying, not on gardens or windows next door. If your roof is shared, a word with next door beforehand helps. We survey the roof you’ve asked us to look at. Flights are kept as short as the job allows and focused on the roof in question. If you’ve noticed flat roofs on upper floors that hold water and lead work pulling away at abutments, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Segensworth, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned in advance. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Flying and imaging in Segensworth
Segensworth lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and wind near the sea can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, so the weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead. Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
For an older house near a landmark such as St John, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. If you look after a building such as Cornerstone CofE (VA) Primary School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

Segensworth questions
Will you come out to Segensworth?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Segensworth is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
What does the report include?
Written findings with photographs, covering the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend, with the most urgent first where relevant. 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.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Let us know about it when you book and we will explain what’s needed.
When does the report arrive?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. Each one is emailed, ready to forward.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access as you book.
Can the drone do thermal imaging?
The drone gives you detailed photos of the outside of the roof. If you need thermal imaging, it’s part of the Premium Survey.
How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Older roofs in small places like Segensworth can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- You give us the address so we can check the airspace.
- 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.
- We fly the drone close to the roof to photograph it in detail, always in sight.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Arrange a survey
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.
Advice
When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
- Flights in a restricted zone without permission
- A flight on a day when the weather is not safe
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will recommend the right survey. What our survey covers.
What we look at
- Large and complex roofs
- Tall and steep roofs
- Fragile roofs
- Flat roofs on upper floors
- Chimney stacks
- Valleys and parapet gutters
Do you need a drone roof survey in Segensworth?
After storms, owners want to know what has moved. Damage on a high or steep roof is hard to judge from the garden. A drone shows what has slipped, lifted or gone.
We are often asked to look at:
- Flat roofs on upper floors that hold water
- Chimney tops in poor condition
- Worn lead at chimneys and walls
- Plant growth and moss on the roof
Shop and office owners around Fareham Shopping Centre may find that large commercial roofs are often easiest to see from above or with a thermal imager.
What to check before booking
- Whether VAT is added on top
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
Why get it checked now?
Small defects on a high roof grow with each storm. Spotting them early keeps the work smaller, whatever height the roof is. In a place like Segensworth, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking.

Different roofs, different checks
Steep slate and tile slopes
Steep slopes are hard to inspect safely on foot. From the air, every course of slates or tiles can be seen.
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Felt often lasts around 15 to 20 years, EPDM rubber around 30 to 50 and GRP up to about 30. Photos show how the covering is wearing.
