How a drone roof survey works in Chambers' Green
Drone roof surveys are available in Chambers' Green and throughout London and South East England, subject to airspace checks and the weather. Flights take place on weekdays and at weekends. We check the airspace for your address before booking a flight. You get a written report with close-up photographs and recommendations. To ask whether a drone survey suits your roof, ring 07833 053749 or email us. Common reasons to book are eroded pointing on a chimney stack and moss building up on slopes and in gutters, on tall and steep roofs, flat roofs on upper floors and chimney stacks.
Somewhere as small as Chambers' Green, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Flying and imaging in Chambers' Green
Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
Anyone responsible for a site like Pluckley Church of England Primary School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. Godinton House lies about 3.7 miles east, so building around Chambers' Green goes back a long way. Photos from the air and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it.

What happens on the day
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a hamlet or village like Chambers' Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You give us the address so we can check the airspace.
- We arrange any permission that is needed before we fly.
- Before the flight, we check the conditions and the take-off spot.
- The sub-250g drone takes close-up photographs of the roof, kept in sight throughout.
- We email a written report with the photos and our recommendations.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Let us know where we can park nearby

What we are asked to look at in Chambers' Green
Steep and tall roofs are hard to inspect safely. Three-storey houses, blocks of flats and tall commercial buildings are common examples. We fly from the ground and bring the camera close to the roof.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Plant growth and moss on the roof
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Flashings that have come away
- Blocked valleys and parapet gutters
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Nicholas, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.
What to check before booking
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Will the report include photos?
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely

Chambers' Green: your questions answered
Is drone flying allowed in Chambers' Green?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. High wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
Is Chambers' Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Chambers' Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding.
Do you need to get into the loft?
If there’s a loft and safe access to it, yes. The roof space can show things the outside cannot, like damp timbers, staining or daylight.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Does the weather affect the survey?
It depends on the weather and the survey. Strong wind or heavy rain can make access unsafe and ground a drone, so we’d move the date with you.
