Landlords, agents and block managers in Shedfield
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Mention it when you get in touch and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Drone roof survey in Shedfield
Neighbours’ privacy matters on every flight. The camera stays on your roof, not on neighbouring homes and gardens. If your roof is shared, a word with next door beforehand helps. We inspect only what the owner has asked us to. Each flight is kept short and stays focused on the roof we’re there to survey. We are often asked to look into damage after a storm that can’t be seen from below and coverings that have slipped high up on the roof, across chimney stacks, flat roofs on upper floors and tall and steep roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Shedfield are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it’s a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Other services in Shedfield
What happens if roof problems are left?
Photos from a drone survey show how the roof looks today. Next time, you can compare and see what has moved or worn. It helps when you plan ahead. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Shedfield, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices start from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
Why book with us
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Every finding written up with photos
Your questions about drone roof surveys in Shedfield
Is drone flying allowed in Shedfield?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Strong wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
Is Shedfield within the area you cover?
Yes, Shedfield is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
How do I arrange a drone roof survey in Shedfield?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £400, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking, and it depends on the roof’s size, access and the package you choose. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What do I do with the report?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Useful tips for Shedfield property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Keep dogs indoors during the visit
- A word with neighbours beforehand helps
- Check the loft can be reached
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
Premium also includes a 12-month follow-up. It shows whether anything has moved or worn since the first visit.
Have high or hard-to-reach roofs surveyed every few years. Regular photos make changes easy to spot, and early repairs keep water out.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Prices for drone roof surveys in Shedfield
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How big the roof is
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both with VAT included. You will know the price for the job before booking.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- What’s prompted the survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Drone roof surveys around Shedfield
Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. In the open category, flights stay below 120 m (400 ft) and within sight. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons.
The streets around a church like Church of St John are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. Take a building like St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School: a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
Shedfield is about 4 miles north of Fareham, in Hampshire. Shedfield gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a careful inspection, photos and a written report. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. There’s also a page for Southampton.

What we do, step by step
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Somewhere as small as Shedfield, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- You give us the address so we can check the airspace.
- If permission is needed, we ask for it ahead of the visit.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Leave side gates unlocked
Getting a price
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us a few details about the property and we will recommend the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
