Drone roof survey in Weston: what you get
From the air, the outer surfaces are clear, but it cannot see under the coverings or into the loft. Where there is safe access, we look in the loft space too, since that is where leaks and condensation often show first. Together, the two give a fuller picture. Your report shows the drone photos alongside what we saw in the loft. Where the loft can’t be reached safely, we note it. Common reasons to book are slates or tiles shifted by high winds and debris building up in hidden gutters, on valleys and parapet gutters, large and complex roofs and chimney stacks.
In a village or hamlet like Weston, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from ground level. Weather and airspace are checked ahead of the visit. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

What else we do in Weston
Weston questions
Is drone flying allowed in Weston?
Typically 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.
How do I find out if my home in Weston is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take about one to two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The written report follows by email.
What do I do with the report?
You’ll receive the report by email, and you decide the next step: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
Will you check the loft?
Yes, where the survey calls for it and there is safe access. We look for staining, damp, daylight and signs of movement, as far as the space allows.
What does a roof survey cost?
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Flying and imaging in Weston
We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Flights in the open category stay under 120 m (400 ft), with the drone kept in sight. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions.
Historic houses like Uppark, about 4 miles south-east, show how far back building around Weston goes. For older roofs nearby, a look from the air or with a thermal camera is a hands-off way to check condition. If you look after a building like Buriton Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Weston is about 1 mile south-west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. From houses to flats and shops in Weston, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. We cover towns and villages across Hampshire, large and small. We also survey roofs in Portsmouth.
We survey roofs across the GU32 postcode area for drone roof surveys and the streets around it. We cover properties on Weston Lane and Wylds Lane and the roads around them. Nearby, we also carry out drone roof surveys in Buriton (1 mile south-east), Ramsdean (1 mile west), Nursted (2 miles east), Chalton (4 miles south) and Blendworth (5 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Gosport (15 miles south-west), Havant (9 miles south), Fareham (14 miles south-west), Horndean (6 miles south), Alton (11 miles north) and Waterlooville (8 miles south-west).
Local landmarks in Weston
In Weston, that means homes and buildings near The Petersfield School and The Petersfield School, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Petersfield station, roughly 1.4 miles north-east. Well-known places in the area include Petersfield Community Hospital (1.2 miles north-east) and Bear Museum (1.4 miles north-east). Not far away are Liss Riverside Railway Walk South and War Down.
Why act early in Weston
Small defects on a high roof grow with each storm. Finding them now means less to put right. Older cottages and farmhouses around Weston can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it is left.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can be seen safely and which survey you book.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple 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.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes between one and two hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Around Weston, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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’.
- If the loft can be reached safely, it’s checked too.
- You get photos, findings and clear recommendations.
How to prepare
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Book a survey
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or email us, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
