Drone roof survey in Wildhern, Hampshire
Get a clear view of the roof at a property in Wildhern from an independent roof surveyor. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Damage after a storm that can’t be seen from below
- Cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots

What we’re asked to look at in Wildhern
Large roofs take a long time to see on foot. The drone covers the surface area by area. You see the whole roof, not just the parts near an access point.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Hidden gutters full of leaves
- Damage after a storm that cannot be seen from below
- Flat roofs on upper floors that hold water
- Ridge pieces that have lifted
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Hatherden Church of England Primary School, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.

Drone roof survey in Wildhern: what you get
A drone can see more than your roof, so we take care. 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 inspect only what the owner has asked us to. Each flight is kept short and stays focused on the roof we are there to survey. We survey valleys and parapet gutters, chimney stacks and large and complex roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack and slipped or missing slates on a high roof.
Some older homes in villages like Wildhern are listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera does not touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Keep pets indoors during the flight
- Make sure the loft can be reached
- Let neighbours know about the flight if your roof is shared
- Tell us about any leaks or concerns
File the report and photos with your home documents. They give you something to compare against later, and they help if you sell.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. Condensation in the loft can damage timbers and insulation, and it’s something only an inside check will show. Make sure insulation does not block the airflow.
Questions from Wildhern
Is my home in Wildhern listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Wildhern?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Strong wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, and it’s agreed before booking.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Will you check the loft?
If the survey needs it and the loft space can be reached safely, yes. Please clear anything stored under the hatch, and if the loft cannot be reached safely, the report says so.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take about one to two hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. You will then get the report by email.
What affects the cost of drone roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The shape of the roof and its details
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Helping us price your survey
Some details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you contact us, tell us:
- When you need the report by
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The kind of building and roof involved
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can call 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.
What a drone roof survey doesn’t cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, so a survey has limits:
- Neighbouring roofs the owner hasn’t asked us to survey
- A flight where airspace permission is refused
- Flights in strong wind or heavy rain
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll tell you. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

What happens on the day
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes about one to two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Older roofs in small places like Wildhern can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with the address and what you’d like checked.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- Before take-off, the wind, the weather and the launch spot are looked at.
- The drone photographs the roof closely, kept in sight throughout.
- You receive a written report with the photos and our recommendations.
Before the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Let us know about parking near the property

Drone roof surveys in Wildhern: local notes
Listing and conservation areas can both shape what roof work is allowed on an older home. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up aerial photos and thermal images help.
If you live in an older home near Christchurch, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

Roof by roof
Ridges and hips
Some ridges are fixed with mortar, others with dry-fix systems. We record what we see of their condition.
Valleys and parapet gutters
Some older terraces have a butterfly roof with a valley in the middle. You cannot see it from the street at all, but a drone shows it clearly.
