How a drone roof survey works in Titchfield Common
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The Premium Survey includes a drone inspection where applicable, with a same-day report, structural analysis and an in-person consultation. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. We will tell you if a drone is not the right tool for your roof. Every drone survey comes with a written report and close-up photos. We survey valleys and parapet gutters, tall and steep roofs and chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are blocked valleys and parapet gutters and lifted or split lead flashings.
Places like Titchfield Common can be near small airfields or other airspace restrictions, so the Drone Safety Map is checked before any flight. Exposed sites can be windy, and a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind. Each flight is planned with neighbours’ privacy in mind, as well as the airspace and the wind.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Questions from Titchfield Common
Is my home in Titchfield Common listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is drone flying allowed in Titchfield Common?
Normally it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
What if it rains on the day?
It can, depending on the survey. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
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.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take an hour or two at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Do you cover Titchfield Common for drone roof surveys?
Yes. We carry out drone roof surveys in Titchfield Common, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Do you need a drone roof survey in Titchfield Common?
Parapet gutters, box gutters and central valleys sit out of sight. Debris collects where nobody looks, until it causes a leak inside. From above, they’re easy to see.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Lifted or split lead flashings
- Blocked valleys and parapet gutters
- Loose ridge and hip tiles
- Eroded pointing on a chimney stack
If you run a business near Fareham Shopping Centre, thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof.
Before you book anyone
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA

What else we do in Titchfield Common
What a drone roof survey looks like in Titchfield Common
Titchfield Common is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind off the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons.
Take an older house close to St John: 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: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Before and after the survey
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Check there is room outside for the drone to take off
- Allow for a change of day in poor weather
- Let us know about any leaks or concerns
- Let us know the exact address when you book
File the report and photos with your home documents. They give you something to compare against later, and they help if you sell.
Plan a drone survey every few years for tall or large roofs. Comparing surveys shows what is wearing, so small faults are dealt with early.
How it works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photographs. As for time on site, most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. A visit to Titchfield Common is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- First comes the address, plus a note of what worries you about the roof.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where needed.
- On the day, we check the wind, weather and site before flying.
- The drone photographs the roof closely, kept in sight throughout.
- You receive a written report with the photos and our recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Let us know about parking near the property
