About our drone roof survey in Stubbington
They suit tall buildings, steep or large roofs and roofs that are hard to see from the ground. They also suit fragile roofs that nobody should walk on. The roof is photographed without being disturbed. Ahead of the visit, we check the address for any airspace restrictions that apply. If a drone is not the right tool, we’ll say so. We survey tall and steep roofs, chimney stacks and valleys and parapet gutters, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are slipped or missing slates on a high roof and hidden gutters full of leaves.
Places like Stubbington can be near small airfields or other airspace restrictions, so the Drone Safety Map is checked before any flight. Open ground can mean stronger wind, which also affects whether a small drone can fly, while thermal imaging also works best with little wind. Each flight is planned with neighbours’ privacy in mind, as well as the airspace and the wind.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

What we are asked to look at in Stubbington
Strong winds can lift slates, tiles and ridge pieces. Damage on a high or steep roof is hard to judge from the garden. Close-up photos make it clear what has been disturbed.
Common reasons to book include:
- Chimney tops in poor condition
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Ponding and splits on a high flat roof
- Debris building up in hidden gutters
Take a building like Crofton Anne Dale Junior School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Before booking anyone
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- How soon the report will arrive
What we look for on each type of roof
Large commercial roofs
Many commercial roofs have fragile sheets or roof lights. With a drone, nobody has to go near them.
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Flat roofs on tall buildings are often seen by nobody. A drone shows ponding, splits, blisters and worn upstands.
The survey, 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. The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. A visit to Stubbington is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- You give us the address and tell us about the roof.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where needed.
- 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.
- You receive a written report with the photos and our recommendations.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Find any records of previous roof work
Booking a survey
When you’re ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or email us. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.

Useful tips for Stubbington property owners
Getting the most from a drone roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Give us the full address so we can check the airspace
- Mention anything you’ve noticed on the roof
- Tell next door if the drone will be near their property
- Allow time for permission if you are in a flight restriction zone
The Premium Survey report comes the same day. Drone photographs are included where we could fly.
After a storm, check from the garden and the street. Debris in the garden is a sign to act on. A drone can show exactly what has moved.

Questions from Stubbington
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stubbington?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Stubbington within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How long does the visit take?
Allow roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. We will give you an idea of timing when booking.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
