Drone roof survey in Conyer, Kent
Close-up drone photographs of roofs that are hard to reach in Conyer, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photos.
- Moss and weeds taking hold up top
- Standing water on a flat roof
- Eroded pointing on a chimney stack
What happens if roof problems are left?
With drone photos, everyone can see the same thing. They show the location and extent of each defect, which helps when you ask for quotes. In a small place like Conyer, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

Drone roof survey in Conyer: what you get
Every flight starts with an airspace check. Near protected airports such as Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton, flight restriction zones mean permission is needed first. Parts of central London have restricted areas too, where NATS permission is needed. If we cannot fly, we use other safe vantage points instead and tell you. Prison sites also have drone restriction zones. If you’re worried about chimney tops in poor condition and gaps where slates or tiles have gone, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Conyer are listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

FAQs for Conyer
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Conyer?
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 come out to Conyer?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We are roof surveyors, not structural engineers. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we’ll recommend one.
How do I book a survey in Conyer?
To book, call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Checking the roof from ground level
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
How it works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take about one to two hours for most houses, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Conyer frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- We confirm whether a drone suits your roof.
- We agree a date, including weekends, subject to the weather.
- The roof is photographed from the air, with the camera kept on your property.
- Where there’s safe access, we check the loft as well.
- The report sets out what we found, with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
Booking a survey
A quick phone call is typically the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Tips from our surveys
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Shut pets inside while we fly
- Mention anything you’ve noticed on the roof
- Let neighbours know about the flight if your roof is shared
- Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
There is a follow-up after 12 months with the Premium Survey. It helps you see how the roof has changed over the year, and whether work has done its job.
Do not block the vents at the eaves. Condensation in the loft can damage timbers and insulation, and it’s something only an inside check will show. Keep insulation clear of the eaves.

What we are asked to look at in Conyer
Walking on some roofs does more harm than good. Old slates and clay tiles crack underfoot, and fragile sheet roofs are dangerous to walk on. With a drone, the roof is photographed without anyone stepping on it.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Plant growth and moss on the roof
- Ponding and splits on a high flat roof
- Eroded pointing on a chimney stack
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
The streets around a church like Church of St Mary are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.
Choosing a roof surveyor

Airspace, weather and Conyer roofs
Conyer is within about 1 mile 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 can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons.
Around Conyer, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.
