Drone roof surveys around Weybourne
Farnborough Airport is about 3 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. 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.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of the Ascension, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help. Anyone responsible for a site like All Hallows Catholic School will know that a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

Drone roof survey in Weybourne
Drone surveys suit tall houses, blocks of flats, steep roofs and large commercial roofs. They also suit fragile roofs that nobody should walk on. The roof is photographed without being disturbed. Before the visit, we check the address for any airspace restrictions that apply. We’ll tell you if another approach would work better. If you’ve noticed cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots and ponding and splits on a high flat roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Older cottages and houses around Weybourne 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 works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

What happens on the day
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes between one and two hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Weybourne is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- We confirm whether a drone suits your roof.
- 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
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Booking a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or send us an email, and we will ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Signs you need a drone roof survey in Weybourne
Big commercial and industrial roofs cover a lot of ground. The drone covers the surface area by area, showing patterns of wear that are hard to spot up close. You see the whole roof, not just the parts near an access point.
Look out for signs like these:
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack
- Ponding and splits on a high flat roof
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
With Farnham Castle about 1.6 miles south-west, the area around Weybourne has a long history. A drone or thermal survey doesn’t involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
When you need someone else
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- The underside of the roof (that needs an inside check)
- Photos in conditions too poor to fly
- A structural engineer’s report
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roofs we survey in Weybourne
- Large and complex roofs
- Tall and steep roofs
- Flat roofs on upper floors
- Chimney stacks
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Fragile roofs
Why get it checked now?
Leaving a slipped slate or a blocked valley can turn a small fault into a leak. Finding them now means less to put right. Blocked gutters on homes around Weybourne overflow and soak walls, especially where trees overhang. It is easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
Why book us in Weybourne
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Drones and thermal imaging where applicable
- Packages from £150, inc. VAT
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition

What affects the cost of drone roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Which survey package you book
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Common questions in Weybourne
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Weybourne?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Weybourne?
Normally it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Weybourne is about 3 miles from Farnborough Airport, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Can you survey in bad weather?
It can, depending on the survey. Drones cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with a dry roof, little wind and a sunny day beforehand. If the conditions are not right, we will talk to you about another date.
How do I arrange a drone roof survey in Weybourne?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll point you to the right survey. Surveys run seven days a week.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We note visible signs like sagging or deflection, but we don’t carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
