🏚️ An interesting instruction completed this week for Above Ground Surveys Ltd.

We were called to Worminghall Village Hall in Buckinghamshire, a beautiful timber-framed community building dating back to approximately 1860, to carry out a comprehensive internal roof void inspection on behalf of the trustees.

Access to the roof void was made more challenging by the presence of suspended ceiling tiles throughout the building.

However, this was not going to stop us. Ceiling tiles were carefully removed at two locations to allow physical access via a platform tower, giving us what we needed to carry out a thorough inspection of the accessible areas.

✅ Physical access via platform tower allowed us to take moisture meter readings from accessible purlins and rafters through the removed ceiling tile locations, carry out a visual assessment of timber condition, conduct wood rot checks, assess ventilation, and inspect insulation throughout.

🚁 Once we had inspected everything physically accessible, we carefully deployed the drone inside the roof void to inspect areas that could not be safely reached.

This allowed us to capture close-up imagery of the wider roof structure, timbers, and overall condition throughout the inaccessible areas without anyone needing to physically enter those spaces.

Everything came back in satisfactory condition, with dry moisture readings throughout—a great result for a building of this age. One minor area of slightly elevated readings on the closeboard section was noted for monitoring, and we have recommended a follow-up external roof survey in due course.

If you manage, own, or are responsible for a historic, listed, or community building that requires a specialist roof void inspection, particularly where conventional access isn’t possible, get in touch with our team. 📋

🏚️ Another great instruction completed this week for Above Ground Surveys Ltd.

We were recently instructed to carry out a full roof and internal loft inspection at the White Hart Public House in South Mimms — a Grade II Listed building of 18th century origin.

Inspecting a building of this age and character is always a privilege. Using our CAA-approved drone we were able to capture close-up 4K imagery of all elevations, chimney stacks, leadwork, slate coverings, and associated roof elements—alongside a comprehensive multi-area internal loft inspection covering moisture meter readings, structural timber assessment, and ventilation checks across multiple roof void areas.

Our comprehensive written report covering all findings, condition ratings, defects, recommendations, and indicative cost guidance has been delivered to our client.

If you manage, own, or are involved with a historic or listed building and need an independent roof or building inspection, we would love to help. 📋

🏠 Another satisfied client ticked off their mortgage lender's requirements this week.

We were instructed to carry out a full drone roof survey alongside a visual inspection of the solar panel installation — including the panels themselves, brackets, fixings, and visible wiring — as part of the documentation required by the client's mortgage lender ahead of their house move.

Our report covered the full roof condition across all slopes, chimney, flashings, gutters, and associated elements, with close-up 4K drone imagery and a comprehensive written condition report delivered within 3 working days.

Our reports are widely accepted by mortgage lenders, solicitors, and insurance companies — so if your lender is asking for a specialist roof survey before they will proceed, we can help. 📋

🏠 Another great result for one of our clients!
A recent instruction saw us called in to assist a client who needed evidence to support an insurance claim following a pipe burst beneath an overlaid roof section. Locating the exact source of a leak in this situation isn't straightforward — but that's exactly where our drone survey capability comes into its own.

Our inspection identified the source of the leak and provided clear, documented evidence that gave our client everything they needed to support their claim with their insurance company. Job done. ✅

If you're dealing with a leak, water ingress, or need independent survey evidence for an insurance or legal matter — don't guess, get it surveyed. Our reports are professional, impartial, and built to stand up to scrutiny.
