How a drone roof survey works in Spanish Green
A drone can see more than your roof, so we take care. The camera stays on your roof, not on neighbouring homes and gardens. If your roof is joined to a neighbour’s, it is worth letting them know about the visit. 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. We are often asked to look into debris building up in hidden gutters and flashings that have come away, on chimney stacks, fragile roofs and flat roofs on upper floors.
In a village or hamlet like Spanish Green, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Weather and airspace are looked at ahead of the visit. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Drone roof surveys around Spanish Green
Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
Anyone responsible for a site like Daneshill School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Blessed Virgin, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.

What we do, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes an hour or two for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. Around Spanish Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. 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.
- The drone captures close-up photos of the coverings, chimneys, valleys and gutters.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

Common questions in Spanish Green
Is Spanish Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Spanish Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Are there drone restrictions around Spanish Green?
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. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If it is needed and safe to reach, yes. Inside, we look for damp, staining, gaps and sagging, as far as the space allows.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What will the report tell me?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photographs throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Common roof problems in Spanish Green
Hidden gutters and valleys are easy to overlook. Debris collects where nobody looks, until it causes a leak inside. From above, they’re easy to see.
We are often asked to look at:
- Wind damage high on the roof
- Cracked slates and tiles out of sight from below
- Eroded pointing on a chimney stack
- Moss building up on slopes and in gutters
Stratfield Saye House, about 1.8 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Spanish Green. For older roofs nearby, a look by drone or thermal camera is a hands-off way to check condition.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- Will the report include photos?
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Useful tips for Spanish Green property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Let us know the exact address as you book
- Expect us to rearrange if it’s too windy or wet
- A word with neighbours beforehand helps
- Let us know what you want to see
With the Premium Survey, the report arrives the same day. Drone photos are included where we could fly.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. The underside often shows problems before the outside does. Photograph anything new.
How we price drone roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium

Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
