Drone roof survey in Winchfield Hurst
Our drone weighs under 250g, and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator, with a Flyer ID and an Operator ID. We keep it in sight throughout, and well below the 120-metre height limit. Each flight is planned with the site and its surroundings in mind. Airspace and weather are checked before every flight. Safety comes first on every visit. Typical surveys look at wind damage high on the roof and cracked mortar along the ridge, across flat roofs on upper floors, chimney stacks and tall and steep roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Winchfield Hurst may be listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What we do, step by step
It’s useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes about one to two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. In a small place like Winchfield Hurst, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We confirm whether a drone suits your roof.
- A date is fixed, with a fallback in case the weather turns.
- We fly over the roof, keeping the camera on the property we are surveying.
- If the loft can be reached safely, it is checked too.
- The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Common questions in Winchfield Hurst
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Winchfield Hurst?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Winchfield Hurst?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How do I arrange a drone roof survey in Winchfield Hurst?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
How much does a drone roof survey cost in Winchfield Hurst?
Prices start from £400, including VAT. You will know the price for your survey before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. To get a price, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
How we price drone roof surveys
To price your survey, we look at:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- House, block, shop or office
- Which survey package you book
Our price is from £400, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included.
What we need to know
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, tell us:
- What’s prompted the survey
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The address and postcode of the property
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Flying and imaging in Winchfield Hurst
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Many roofs like these can’t be judged properly from the pavement, and that’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 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, so the council is the place to ask.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary the Virgin, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image. If you look after a building such as Dogmersfield Church of England Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. Shop and office owners around Hart Shopping Centre may find that large commercial roofs are often easiest to see by drone or thermal camera.

Leave it or get it looked at?
It is hard to plan maintenance for a roof nobody has looked at. You get photos of every part we can see. That helps you put the work in order. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Winchfield Hurst, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Useful tips for Winchfield Hurst property owners
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Book early if you’re near an airport
- A word with neighbours beforehand helps
- Clear a spot on the drive or lawn
- Expect us to rearrange if it is too windy or wet
File the report and photos with your home documents. They’re a useful baseline for future surveys, and they help if you sell.
