Drone Roof Survey in Bexon
Get a clear view of the roof at a property in Bexon. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Slipped or missing slates on a high roof
- Tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack
- Flashings that have come away
What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Bexon
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The Premium Survey includes a drone inspection where applicable, with a same-day report, structural analysis and an in-person consultation. It also includes a follow-up after 12 months. We will tell you if a drone is not the right tool for your roof. You get a written report with the close-up photos from the flight. If you are worried about ridge and hip pieces working loose and blistered or cracked flat roof coverings, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Bexon, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from the ground. Weather and airspace are looked at before the visit, and the journey is planned beforehand. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

What else we do in Bexon
What happens if roof problems are left?
Leaving a slipped slate or a blocked valley can turn a small fault into a leak. Finding them now means less to put right, whatever height the roof is. In a place like Bexon, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.
What you get with us
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- A written report with photos
- Prices that include VAT
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Your questions about drone roof surveys in Bexon
Is my home in Bexon listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is drone flying allowed in Bexon?
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.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
How fast do I get the report?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. Reports are sent by email.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take about 1–2 hours for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. You will then get the report by email.
What happens next?
You will receive the report by email, and you decide the next step: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
What we do, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Somewhere as small as Bexon, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start by making sure a drone flight makes sense for the roof.
- A visit is booked for a weekday, Saturday or Sunday, weather permitting.
- The roof is photographed from the air, with the camera kept on your property.
- We also look inside the roof space where it’s safe.
- The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Arrange a survey
You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.

Airspace, weather and Bexon roofs
Bexon lies within about 5 miles of the sea, where wind off the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour. Across Kent, older roofs are often handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from ground level, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.
If you look after a building such as Bredgar Church of England Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
Bexon is about 3 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Bexon is one of many places we visit across Kent, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. Across Kent, we cover Bexon. Our Maidstone page covers surveys nearby.

How we price drone roof surveys
To price your survey, we check:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the exact price before you book.
What we need to know
Some details help us suggest the right survey and price. When you get in touch, it is useful to mention:
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- The address and postcode of the property
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Bexon
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, so they’re priced to suit.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
When to book a survey in Bexon
After storms, owners want to know what has moved. Damage on a high or steep roof is hard to judge from the garden. A drone shows what has slipped, lifted or gone.
Common reasons to book include:
- Storm damage on steep or tall roofs
- Ridge and hip pieces working loose
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Flat roofs on upper floors that hold water
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St John the Baptist, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Are they insured for the work?
- What experience they bring
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
