Drone Roof Survey in Cheeseman's Green

Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Cheeseman's Green
Drone roof survey starts 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. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. If a drone won’t help on your roof, we’ll say so. Every drone survey comes with a written report and close-up photos. We survey large and complex roofs, valleys and parapet gutters and flat roofs on upper floors, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damage after a storm that can’t be seen from below and coverings that have slipped high up on the roof.
In a small place like Cheeseman's Green, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

Useful tips for Cheeseman's Green property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Keep pets indoors during the flight
- Book early if you are near an airport
- Mention anything you’ve noticed on the roof
- Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
Keep the photos with your property records. They’re a useful baseline for future surveys, and they help if you sell.
Have high or hard-to-reach roofs surveyed every few years. Comparing surveys shows what is wearing, and early repairs keep water out.

Common questions in Cheeseman's Green
Is Cheeseman's Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Are there drone restrictions around Cheeseman's Green?
Typically it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
What does the report include?
Written findings with photographs, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, which makes the report easy to follow.
How soon will I get the report?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. All of them come by email.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.
Why get it checked now?
It is hard to plan maintenance for a roof nobody has looked at. You get photos of every part we can see, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can tackle the urgent items first. Older and listed buildings around Cheeseman's Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
Why book with us
- An independent look at the roof
- Plain-English reports with photos
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance

Drones, thermal imaging and Cheeseman's Green roofs
Historic houses such as Godinton House, about 4.3 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Cheeseman's Green goes. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Finberry Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

How the survey changes by roof type
Steep slate and tile slopes
Widespread slipping on slate normally means nail fatigue. We can see the extent of it from above.
Valleys and parapet gutters
Some older terraces have a butterfly roof with a valley in the middle. You can’t see it from the street at all, but a drone shows it clearly.
What we are asked to look at in Cheeseman's Green
Large roofs take a long time to see on foot. The drone covers the surface area by area, showing patterns of wear that are hard to spot up close. You see the whole roof, not just the parts near an access point.
Look out for signs like these:
- Storm damage on steep or tall roofs
- Debris building up in hidden gutters
- Cracked flaunching or loose chimney pots
- Blistered or cracked flat roof coverings
For businesses in and around places such as Ashford Designer Outlet, big, flat commercial roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help most.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What the survey will not cover
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What insurance they carry
- How soon the report will arrive
Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
How it works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Around Cheeseman's Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.
- We start with the address and what you’d like checked.
- Any flight restriction at the address is looked at, 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.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
Preparing for the visit
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Let us know about parking near the property
