Wallington: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Wallington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Is drone flying allowed in Wallington?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. Strong wind or a downpour also stops a small drone flying.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where applicable, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but we do not provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. The report will say if you need an engineer.
How quickly is the report sent?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take between one and two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. We’ll confirm the timing when booking.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Drone roof survey in Wallington: what you get
Tall, steep, large or fragile roofs can’t always be inspected up close. A drone takes close-up photographs of those roofs from the air. It shows coverings, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters clearly, including slopes that can’t 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 isn’t possible, we explain why. We are often asked to look into cracked mortar along the ridge and flat roofs on upper floors that hold water, across large and complex roofs, tall and steep roofs and fragile roofs.
Even in a smaller place like Wallington, there may be airfields or restrictions nearby, 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, while thermal imaging also works best with little wind. Neighbours’ privacy is part of planning each flight, along with the airspace and the weather.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What this survey can’t tell you
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Flights in strong wind or heavy rain
- The underside of the roof (that needs an inside check)
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll tell you before booking. What our survey covers.

Prices for drone roof surveys in Wallington
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Which survey package you book
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What we need to know
These details help when you get in touch:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Tell us about any leaks or concerns
- Check there is room outside for the drone to take off
- Clear the loft hatch so we can check inside too
- Allow time for permission if you are in a flight restriction zone
You get an in-person consultation with the Premium Survey to talk through the photographs and findings. You can ask about anything that isn’t clear.
Have leaves and moss cleared from gutters, valleys and outlets, especially in autumn. On high roofs, leave clearing to a professional. Blocked hidden gutters cause many leaks.
Airspace, weather and Wallington roofs
Wallington is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind off the sea can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, so the weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Fareham Shopping Centre, big, flat commercial roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images help most. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wykeham House School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
Wallington is about 1 mile east of Fareham, in Hampshire. Wallington is one of many places we visit across Hampshire, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. Wallington is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire where we work.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Wallington
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, from shops and offices to industrial units. Bigger roofs take more time.
What you can safely check yourself
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.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
What we do, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. A visit to Wallington is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We start by checking the airspace and any restrictions at your address.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
