About our drone roof survey in Broom Street
Drone roof surveys are available in Broom Street and throughout London and South East England, where the airspace and the weather allow. Flights take place on weekdays and at weekends. Every address is checked for airspace restrictions first. You get a written report with close-up photos and recommendations. To check whether your roof suits a drone survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. If you’ve noticed lead work pulling away at abutments and ridge and hip pieces working loose, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on fragile roofs, large and complex roofs and tall and steep roofs alike.
Villages like Broom Street often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, 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.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What we are asked to look at in Broom Street
Big commercial and industrial roofs cover a lot of ground. The drone covers the surface area by area. That gives a clearer picture of the roof as a whole.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Moss building up on slopes and in gutters
- Blistered or cracked flat roof coverings
- Hidden gutters full of leaves
- Tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack
The streets around a church such as Church of All Saints are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

Questions from Broom Street
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Broom Street?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Broom Street within the area you cover?
Yes. Broom Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report, and it does not include calculations. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we’ll recommend one.
What does a roof survey cost?
Prices start from £400, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. To get a price, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Will the drone film my neighbours?
We take care around neighbouring homes. We photograph your roof, not your neighbours’ property. It’s worth telling neighbours about the flight.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Can a drone see inside my loft?
No. A drone shows the outside surfaces of the roof in close detail, but it can’t see under the coverings. We look in the loft from inside where it’s safe.
What we do, step by step
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take between one and two hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. Older rural homes like those around Broom Street can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- You give us the address so we can check the airspace.
- If permission is needed, we ask for it before the visit.
- Before the flight, we check the conditions and the take-off spot.
- The drone captures close-up photos of the coverings, chimneys, valleys and gutters.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Getting a price
Prices start from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or email us with the details.
Advice
Airspace, weather and Broom Street roofs
Broom Street is within about 2 miles of the coast, and wind near the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Graveney Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Broom Street is about 2 miles east of Faversham, in Kent. From houses to flats and shops in Broom Street, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend. Our area takes in places right across Kent. Our Canterbury page covers surveys nearby.

Local landmarks in Broom Street
Around Broom Street, our work takes us to homes and buildings near South Swale and Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School. The closest station to Broom Street is Faversham station, roughly 2.1 miles south-west of the centre. A little further out are Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (5.6 miles north-east).
Checking the roof from the ground
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Do not go up yourself.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Prices for drone roof surveys in Broom Street
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How big the roof is
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Building height and the viewpoints available
For a price for your roof in Broom Street, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
What to let us know when you get in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- What’s prompted the survey
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the roof, useful for planning maintenance.
When you need someone else
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Flying in a flight restriction zone without the airport’s permission
- Photos in conditions too poor to fly
- Close-up photos of next door’s property
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.
