Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Clement Street
Our drone weighs under 250g, and we are a CAA-registered drone operator, with a Flyer ID and an Operator ID. It stays within sight for the whole flight, and well below the 120-metre height limit. Every flight is planned around the roof, the site and the people nearby. Before every flight, we check the airspace and the weather. Safety comes first on every visit. If you’re worried about moss and weeds taking hold up top and tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Clement Street, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from ground level. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned ahead of time. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Around Clement Street, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- First, we check whether a drone is the right tool.
- We agree a date, including weekends, subject to the weather.
- We fly over the roof, keeping the camera on the property we’re surveying.
- We also look inside the loft space where it is safe.
- You get photos, findings and clear recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Arrange a survey
When you’re ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Advice
Do you need a drone roof survey in Clement Street?
Walking on some roofs does more harm than good. Older slates and tiles break easily, and some sheet roofs are fragile. With a drone, the roof is photographed without anyone stepping on it.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Vegetation in valleys and gutters
- Hidden gutters full of leaves
- Coverings that have slipped high up on the roof
- Wind damage high on the roof
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Bluewater, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What the survey will not cover
- Whether VAT is added on top
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
Clement Street: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Clement Street?
Yes, Clement Street is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is my home in Clement Street listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding.
What if my home is near an airport?
Sometimes, with permission. Confirmed flight restriction zones include Heathrow, Gatwick, London City, Stansted, Luton and Southampton, among others, where the airport or air traffic control must give permission first. If permission isn’t given, the roof is inspected from other safe viewpoints.
How much does a drone roof survey cost in Clement Street?
Prices start from £400, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking, based on the roof’s size, access and package. To get a price, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we’ll recommend one.
What about my neighbours’ privacy?
We point the camera at your roof only. Neighbouring homes and gardens are not the subject. It helps to tell neighbours beforehand.
Why get it checked now?
It’s hard to plan maintenance for a roof nobody has looked at. You get photos of every part we can see. You can tackle the urgent items first. In a small place like Clement Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
For a price for your roof in Clement Street, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details. We will confirm the figure before booking.

Drones, thermal imaging and Clement Street roofs
We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Open category rules keep flights below 120 m (400 ft) and the drone within sight at all times. Hall Place and Gardens, about 3.3 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Clement Street. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Sutton-At-Hone Church of England Primary School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. If you live in an older home near Church of Saint Paul, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
Clement Street is about 2 miles south of Dartford, in Kent. We visit Clement Street as part of our work across Kent, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. Across Kent, we cover Clement Street. You can also see our page for London.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking and it will help the survey.
What a survey costs
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:

- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
