What we do, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. The survey usually takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Cottages and farmhouses around Winchfield often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We start with the address and what you’d like checked.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where needed.
- We assess the conditions and the take-off spot first.
- We fly the sub-250g drone close to the roof and photograph each area.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Advice
Drone roof survey in Winchfield
We carry out drone roof surveys in Winchfield and across London and South East England, subject to airspace checks and the weather. We fly on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Every address is checked for airspace restrictions first. You get a written report with close-up photos and recommendations. To ask whether a drone survey suits your roof, call 07833 053749 or email us. If you’ve noticed coverings that have slipped high up on the roof and vegetation in valleys and gutters, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a village or hamlet like Winchfield, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Weather and airspace are checked before the visit. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Useful tips for Winchfield property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
- Shut pets inside while we fly
- Book early if you are near an airport
- A word with neighbours beforehand helps
You get an in-person consultation with the Premium Survey to talk through the photos and findings. You can ask about anything that isn’t clear.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear, ideally once the leaves have fallen. On high roofs, leave clearing to a professional. Many leaks start with a blocked outlet.
Checking the roof from ground level
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey.
Flying and imaging in Winchfield
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Many roofs like these cannot be judged properly from the pavement, and that’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
If you look after a building like Oakwood Infant School, big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once. For businesses in and around places like Hart Shopping Centre, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps.

Winchfield: your questions answered
Is drone flying allowed in Winchfield?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour.
How do I find out if my home in Winchfield is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Does this replace a RICS home 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, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
What happens next?
You’ll get the report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
How long will you be at the property?
It normally takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. We’ll confirm the timing when you book.
Does the weather affect the survey?
Light rain is normally fine; heavy rain and wind are different. Strong wind or a downpour can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we will agree the details when booking.
Roof by roof
Ridges and hips
Ridges and hips are the most exposed parts of a pitched roof. From above, we can see loose ridges and missing mortar.
Large commercial roofs
Fragile roof sheets and roof lights can be dangerous to walk on. A drone keeps everyone off them.
What affects the cost of drone roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
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. Prices start from £400, including VAT.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- When you need the report by
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- What’s prompted the survey
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and give us a few details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.

Why get it checked now?
It’s hard to plan maintenance for a roof nobody has looked at. You get photos of every part we can see, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can tackle the urgent items first. In a small place like Winchfield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
