Stadhampton Drone Roof Survey
Find out the condition of the roof at your property in Stadhampton from an independent roof surveyor. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Worn lead at chimneys and walls
- Wind damage high on the roof
- Ridge and hip pieces working loose
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Give us the full address so we can check the airspace
- Keep pets indoors during the flight
- Let us know what you want to see
- Book early if you are near an airport
With the Premium Survey, the report arrives the same day. Drone photographs are included where we could fly, alongside the other checks in the package.
Plan a drone survey every few years for tall or large roofs. Regular photos make changes easy to spot, so small faults are dealt with early.
About our drone roof survey in Stadhampton
Tall, steep, large or fragile roofs cannot always be inspected up close. Our drone roof survey gets a camera close to them without anyone climbing. You see slates, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters in detail, including slopes that cannot be seen from the street. The photos go into a written report. It’s also a good option where walking on the roof could break slates or tiles. Where a flight is not possible, we explain why. Common reasons to book are gaps where slates or tiles have gone and flashings that have come away, across tall and steep roofs, fragile roofs and chimney stacks.
Older buildings in small places like Stadhampton may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera does not touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, 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.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What affects the cost of drone roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The size of the roof
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- 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.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.

What else we do in Stadhampton
What happens on the day
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey typically takes about one to two hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Older rural homes like those around Stadhampton can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start by making sure a drone flight makes sense for the roof.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday, weather permitting.
- We fly over the roof, keeping the camera on the property we are surveying.
- If the loft can be reached safely, it is checked too.
- Everything is written up, with the aerial photos and our advice.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Advice
Roof by roof
Large commercial roofs
Many commercial roofs have fragile sheets or roof lights. A drone keeps everyone off them.
Chimney stacks
The drone shows the outside of the stack, and it is not a flue or gas safety check. We’ll say if a specialist is needed.
When to book a survey in Stadhampton
From the pavement, most of a tall roof is out of sight. You cannot see the back slope, the valleys or the chimney tops. Problems in those places often go unseen until they leak.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Lifted or split lead flashings
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Storm damage on steep or tall roofs
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
The streets around a church such as Church of St John the Baptist are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
What to check before booking
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- How soon the report will arrive
- Their insurance cover
Drone roof surveys in Stadhampton: local notes
Cotswold stone slates are found on older buildings in west Oxfordshire, and thatch survives in some of the county’s villages. Older houses in the South East often 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. 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.
Garsington Manor lies about 2.5 miles north-west, so building around Stadhampton goes back a long way. 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 Stadhampton Primary School: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

Questions from Stadhampton
Is my home in Stadhampton listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Stadhampton?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain.
How do I book a survey in Stadhampton?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. We survey on any day of the week.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Do you cover Stadhampton for drone roof surveys?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, Stadhampton included.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Why act early in Stadhampton
From the ground, you’re guessing about most of a tall roof. Close-up photos show what’s really there. It is far easier to plan work when you can see the problem. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stadhampton can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
