- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Drone roof survey in Wolverton
They suit tall buildings, steep or large roofs and roofs that are hard to see from ground level. They also suit fragile roofs that nobody should walk on. You get close-up views without anyone setting foot on the roof. We check the airspace for your address ahead of the visit. If a drone isn’t the right tool, we’ll say so. We are often asked to look into cracked slates and tiles out of sight from below and moss building up on slopes and in gutters, across chimney stacks, flat roofs on upper floors and tall and steep roofs.
In a small place like Wolverton, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Flying and imaging in Wolverton
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up photos from the air and thermal images help. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions.
Whatever the street in Wolverton, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.
Wolverton is about 3 miles south-west of Tadley, in Hampshire. Whether the building in Wolverton is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, we can survey the roof. Across Hampshire, we cover Wolverton and the places around it. Reading is in our area too.

Common roof problems in Wolverton
Not every roof can take a person’s weight. Older slates and tiles break easily, and some sheet roofs are fragile. With a drone, the roof is photographed without anyone stepping on it.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Blocked valleys and parapet gutters
- Eroded pointing on a chimney stack
- Coverings that have slipped high up on the roof
- Vegetation in valleys and gutters
If you live in an older home near Church of St Catherine, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.
What to check before booking
- Whether the price includes VAT
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What happens after the report arrives
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
You can learn a lot from ground level. 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.
For landlords and managing agents
With a portfolio of properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
Questions from Wolverton
How do I find out if my home in Wolverton 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.
Is Wolverton within the area you cover?
Yes, Wolverton is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
What happens after the survey?
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.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us and tell us the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
How quickly is the report sent?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Reports are sent by email.
What happens on the day
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit usually takes about one to two hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a hamlet or village like Wolverton, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You give us the address and tell us about the roof.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- Before take-off, the wind, the weather and the launch spot are looked at.
- Close-up photos are taken of each slope, chimney, valley and gutter, with the drone always in view.
- You receive a written report with the photos and our recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Roof by roof
Flat roofs on tall buildings
The flat roof on top of a block is rarely looked at. From above, standing water, splits and tired upstands are clear.
Steep slate and tile slopes
On slate roofs, slipped slates often point to corroded nails. Close-up photos show how widespread it is.
