Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Bromley Green
Drone roof surveys are available in Bromley Green and throughout London and the South East, where the airspace and the weather allow. Flights take place on weekdays and at weekends. We check the airspace for your address before booking a flight. The report includes the drone photos and our recommendations. To ask whether a drone survey suits your roof, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We survey large and complex roofs, fragile roofs and flat roofs on upper floors, and common reasons people get in touch are ridge pieces that have lifted and outlets choked with leaves and silt.
Somewhere as small as Bromley Green, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you cannot get from ground level. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned in advance. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Bromley Green questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bromley Green?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover smaller places like Bromley Green?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can the drone do thermal imaging?
No, the drone survey is photographic. For thermal imaging, look at the Premium Survey or our thermal roof survey, and its findings are checked with moisture readings.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so whoever owns or manages the building needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Can you fly a drone near an airport?
That depends on where the roof is. Inside a flight restriction zone, we need permission first. Allow a little extra time if your home is close to an airport.
What’s in the survey report?
Written findings with photos, covering the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend, by urgency where it matters. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
What we are asked to look at in Bromley Green
Walking on some roofs does more harm than good. Older slates and tiles break easily, and some sheet roofs are fragile. A drone lets us see them closely without touching them.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Blistered or cracked flat roof coverings
- Ridge and hip pieces working loose
- Flashings that have come away
- Eroded pointing on a chimney stack
Shop and office owners around Ashford Designer Outlet may find that large commercial roofs are often easiest to see from above or with a thermal imager.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the survey won’t cover
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What follow-up you get after the report

What affects the price in Bromley Green
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.

What a drone roof survey looks like in Bromley Green
Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. In the open category, flights stay below 120 m (400 ft) and within sight. With Godinton House about 4.5 miles north, Bromley Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take a building like John Wallis Academy: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take an hour or two for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere like Bromley Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- 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.
- Where there is safe access, we check the loft as well.
- You get photos, findings and clear recommendations.
Before the survey
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Jot down any questions you want answered
How to book
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

What a drone roof survey doesn’t cover
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Flights in a restricted zone without permission
- Anything inside the loft or under the coverings
- Whether the roof structure meets design loads
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you before booking. The full list of what we check.
Roofs we survey in Bromley Green
- Tall and steep roofs
- Large and complex roofs
- Fragile roofs
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Chimney stacks
- Flat roofs on upper floors
Why get it checked now?
Leaving a slipped slate or a blocked valley can turn a small fault into a leak. Spotting them early keeps the work smaller, whatever height the roof is. Around Bromley Green, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.
