About our drone roof survey in Warnborough Green
Neighbours’ privacy matters on every flight. We keep the camera on the roof we are surveying, not on neighbouring homes and gardens. If your roof is shared, a word with next door beforehand helps. We survey the roof you’ve asked us to look at. Each flight is kept short and stays focused on the roof we’re there to survey. We are often asked to look into ridge pieces that have lifted and standing water on a flat roof, across fragile roofs, valleys and parapet gutters and tall and steep roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Warnborough Green are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Airspace, weather and Warnborough Green roofs
RAF Odiham is about 3 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your 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, so the council is the place to ask.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary the Virgin are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.
Warnborough Green is about 1 mile south of Hook, in Hampshire. We visit Warnborough Green as part of our work across Hampshire, for homes and businesses alike. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire, large and small. We also survey roofs in Reading.

Signs you need a drone roof survey in Warnborough Green
Not every roof can take a person’s weight. Old slates and clay tiles crack underfoot, and some sheet roofs are fragile. A drone lets us see them closely without touching them.
People usually book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Slates or tiles shifted by high winds
- Chimney tops in poor condition
- Hidden gutters full of leaves
- Ponding and splits on a high flat roof
Anyone responsible for a site like Robert May's School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What insurance they carry
How it works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a village or hamlet like Warnborough Green, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with the address and what you’d like checked.
- 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.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Advice
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Allow time for permission if you’re in a flight restriction zone
- Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
- Shut pets inside while we fly
- Move stored items away from the hatch
There’s a follow-up after 12 months with the Premium Survey. It helps you see how the roof has changed over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Have high or hard-to-reach roofs surveyed every few years. Regular photos make changes easy to spot, so small faults are dealt with early.

Different roofs, different checks
Chimney stacks
Our drone check of a chimney is visual, and it isn’t a flue or gas safety check. We will say if a specialist is needed.
Valleys and parapet gutters
When a parapet outlet blocks, water can come inside. Outlets and any debris around them are photographed.
Checking the roof from ground level
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
Warnborough Green questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Warnborough Green?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is drone flying allowed in Warnborough Green?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. RAF Odiham is about 3 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
What do I do with the report?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Do you look in the loft space?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
