Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Twyford
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. If you’re worried about tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack and slates or tiles shifted by high winds, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Twyford, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned ahead of time. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

Checking the roof from the ground
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
When to book a survey in Twyford
Walking on some roofs does more harm than good. Old slates and clay tiles crack underfoot, and fragile sheet roofs are dangerous to walk on. With a drone, the roof is photographed without anyone stepping on it.
We are often asked to look at:
- Debris building up in hidden gutters
- Moss and weeds taking hold up top
- Lead work pulling away at abutments
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
The streets around a church like Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
What we do, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a village or hamlet like Twyford, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First, we check whether a drone is the right tool.
- We agree a date, including weekends, subject to the weather.
- Aerial photos are taken of your roof only, not the neighbours’.
- Where there’s safe access, we check the loft as well.
- The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Drones, thermal imaging and Twyford roofs
Twyford is about 2 miles from the edge of the flight restriction zone around Southampton Airport. We check the exact boundary for the address before flying, and if the roof falls inside it, we ask for permission first. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Steep or complicated roofs are frequently hard to see from the ground, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Twyford St Mary's Church of England Primary School, big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.
Twyford is about 3 miles south of Winchester, in Hampshire. We carry out drone roof surveys in Twyford for houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings, with a written report and photographs every time. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire. Our Southampton page covers surveys nearby.
Every address in SO21 is covered for drone roof surveys. If you need a drone roof survey at a property on High Street, Roman Road and The Crescent or anywhere close by, we can survey it. With the B3335 close by, Twyford is easy for us to reach. Neighbouring places we cover for drone roof surveys include Shawford (1 mile north-west), South Down (1 mile west), Compton (1 mile west), Otterbourne (1 mile south-west) and St Cross (2 miles north).

Why it’s worth a survey now in Twyford
It is hard to plan maintenance for a roof nobody has looked at. You get photos of every part we can see, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can tackle the urgent items first. Outbuildings and barns around Twyford are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

Twyford questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Twyford?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Twyford?
Yes, Twyford is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
Do you hold CAA registration for the drone?
Yes. Our registration covers a Flyer ID and an Operator ID. We use a sub-250g drone.
Will you photograph next door’s garden?
We point the camera at your roof only. Next door’s windows and gardens are kept out of shot as far as possible. It helps to tell neighbours beforehand.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
How many surveys have you done?
We have completed more than 5,000 surveys, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
For landlords and managing agents
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant, which helps when budgeting.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
