What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Drone roof survey in Wecock Farm
Drones need reasonable weather. We don’t fly in strong wind or heavy rain, because the drone has to stay safely under control. If the weather turns, we will agree another day or inspect what we can by other means. We check the forecast before the visit and again on site. Light wind and dry weather give the clearest close-up photos. A short delay is better than a rushed flight. If you are worried about slates or tiles shifted by high winds and loose ridge and hip tiles, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Older cottages and houses around Wecock Farm may have little insulation, and some have extensions with their own roofs. A thermal image can show where heat is escaping or where moisture may be trapped, and drone photos show the roof surfaces themselves. Anything that looks like moisture is checked with a meter. Calm, dry weather suits both methods, so the date is set with the forecast in mind.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
- Tell us about any leaks or concerns
- Allow for a change of day in poor weather
- Book early if you’re near an airport
The Premium Survey report comes the same day. It includes the drone photos where a flight was possible, alongside the other checks in the package.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. The underside frequently shows problems before the outside does. Take photos of any changes.

What else we do in Wecock Farm
How we price drone roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How big the roof is
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, let us know:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The address and postcode of the property
- What made you get in touch
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
The survey, step by step
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. The survey typically takes between one and two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. A visit to a smaller place like Wecock Farm is no different on the day: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start by making sure a drone flight makes sense for the roof.
- We agree a date, including weekends, subject to the weather.
- Aerial photos are taken of your roof only, not the neighbours’.
- Where there is safe access, we check the loft as well.
- You get photos, findings and clear recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
Getting a price
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we will suggest the right survey. The price is agreed up front.

Why act early in Wecock Farm
Photographing a roof from the air does not touch it. Nothing is cracked or dislodged by footsteps, so you see the roof exactly as it is. Arranging work in a smaller place like Wecock Farm is easier with notice than in an emergency. A survey gives you that notice.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.

Your questions about drone roof surveys in Wecock Farm
Is my home in Wecock Farm listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Is Wecock Farm within the area you cover?
Yes. Wecock Farm is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What’s in the report?
Written findings with photos, covering the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
Is your drone operator registered?
Yes. Our registration covers a Flyer ID and an Operator ID. We use a sub-250g drone.
How fast do I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. Each one is emailed, ready to forward.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect what can safely be seen: from ground level, 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.
What if it’s windy or raining on the day?
Strong wind or a downpour stops a flight. The weather on the day decides whether the drone goes up. If we can’t fly, we will arrange another day or inspect by other means.
Drone roof surveys in Wecock Farm: local notes
Wecock Farm is within about 4 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. Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. Open category rules keep flights below 120 m (400 ft) and the drone within sight at all times.
The streets around a church such as The Hart Plain Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. Warblington Castle lies about 4.8 miles south-east, so building around Wecock Farm goes back a long way. Aerial photos and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it. If you look after a building such as Woodcroft Primary, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

Different roofs, different checks
Large commercial roofs
Big roofs on offices, warehouses and units take time to inspect. A drone photographs the whole surface methodically, so nothing is skipped.
Valleys and parapet gutters
Hidden gutters and valleys sit out of sight. A drone shows linings, joints and build-ups of debris.
