About drone roof surveys in Kent

A drone can see more than your roof, so we take care. We keep the camera on the roof we’re surveying, not on neighbouring homes and gardens. If your roof is shared, a word with next door beforehand helps. We survey the roof you’ve asked us to look at. Flights are kept as short as the job allows and focused on the roof in question. Typical surveys look at loose ridge and hip tiles and cracked slates and tiles out of sight from below, on chimney stacks, valleys and parapet gutters and tall and steep roofs.

We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off.

We start with the address and what you’d like checked.
Any flight restriction at the address is checked, with permission requested if required.
On the day, we check the wind, weather and site before flying.
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.

Prices in Kent

Prices start from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.

Drone roof surveys across Kent: local notes

Weather matters for both drones and thermal imaging across Kent: calm, dry conditions suit both drone flights and thermal images.

Our area takes in slate-roofed London terraces, clay-tiled Weald houses, Essex weatherboarding and post-war new towns. Kent is part of that mix. In the coastal parts of Kent, the seaward side of a roof takes the most weather, and that is where ridges, verges and flashings typically show it first.

Maidstone: A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Maidstone means lost rooms as well as repairs. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as South Borough Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

What a survey costs

Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:

The size of the roof
House, block, shop or office
The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
The shape of the roof and its details

Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £400, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.

Helping us price your survey

We will usually ask about:

Where the property is, with the postcode
Anything about access we should know
Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
What made you get in touch

Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

How the survey changes by roof type

Steep slate and tile slopes

Widespread slipping on slate usually means nail fatigue. Close-up photos show how widespread it is.

Large commercial roofs

Big roofs on offices, warehouses and units take time to inspect. A drone photographs the whole surface methodically, so nothing is skipped.

Useful tips for Kent property owners

From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:

Tell us the exact address when booking
Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
Clear the loft hatch so we can check inside too
Allow for a change of day in poor weather

We email the report to you, including the close-up photos taken by the drone. Findings are set out in plain English, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant.

Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. A drone sees the outside, but the loft shows leaks and condensation from below. Take photos of any changes.

Why act early?

Close-up photos make conversations with roofers clearer. You can show exactly where the problem is.

Questions to ask before booking

How soon the report will arrive
Is VAT included in the price?
Will the report include photos?
Will they check the loft as well as the outside?

Landlords, agents and block managers in Kent

Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.

Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when booking and we will plan the visit with that in mind.

Questions from Kent

What does a roof survey cost?

Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on its size, height, access and the package, and it is agreed before booking.

Is a drone roof survey a thermal survey?

Our drone takes close-up photographs of the roof. Thermal imaging is carried out separately, and it’s part of the Premium Survey.

What will the report tell me?

You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, finishing with recommendations. The most urgent items are made clear.

What about my neighbours’ privacy?

Privacy is taken seriously on every flight. We photograph your roof, not your neighbours’ property. It is worth telling neighbours about the flight.

Is Kent in your area?

Yes. Kent is part of the area we cover.

Will you walk on the roof?

Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.

Is your drone operator registered?

Yes. We hold both a CAA Flyer ID and an Operator ID. The drone we use weighs under 250g, flown within the rules for the open category.
