Why act early in Cuxton
It is hard to plan maintenance for a roof nobody has looked at. You get photographs of every part we can see. You can tackle the urgent items first. Older and listed buildings around Cuxton may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What you get with us
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- PI and public liability insurance
- Photos and a written report every time
- Visits on any day of the week

Drone roof survey in Cuxton
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. The Premium Survey includes a drone inspection where it applies, along with structural analysis, a same-day report and an in-person consultation. It also includes a follow-up after 12 months. We’ll tell you if a drone isn’t the right tool for your roof. You get a written report with the close-up photos from the flight. If you’ve noticed gaps where slates or tiles have gone and hidden gutters full of leaves, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Cuxton, open ground can mean strong wind. Strong wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. 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.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Flying and imaging in Cuxton
Rochester Airport is about 3 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. The drone we use is under 250g, flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID. In the open category, flights stay below 120 m (400 ft) and within sight.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cuxton Community Infant School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Michael and All Angels, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Cuxton is about 2 miles south-west of Rochester, in Medway. If you are in Cuxton, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: get in touch, agree the price and pick a day. We cover towns and villages across Medway, large and small. Maidstone is in our area too.

Signs you need a drone roof survey in Cuxton
Chimney tops take the worst of the weather. From ground level, you rarely see cracked flaunching or loose pots. A drone gets close enough to see them in detail.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Wind damage high on the roof
- Moss building up on slopes and in gutters
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Standing water on a flat roof
Shop and office owners around Pentagon Shopping Centre may find that thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof.

How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes an hour or two for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Cuxton can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with the address and what you’d like checked.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- Before take-off, the wind, the weather and the launch spot are checked.
- Close-up photos are taken of each slope, chimney, valley and gutter, with the drone always in view.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Tell us about parking before the day

Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Be ready to move the date if the weather turns
- Expect a little longer if permission is needed
- Clear a spot on the drive or lawn
- Let us know the exact address as you book
You get an in-person consultation with the Premium Survey to go through what the drone showed. It’s a chance to ask about anything in the report.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. The underside often shows problems before the outside does. Take photos of any changes.
Different roofs, different checks
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Flat roof coverings wear out at different rates. We record the signs of age we can see.
Steep slate and tile slopes
Old slates and clay tiles can crack underfoot. The drone sees them without touching them, so the survey does not add damage.
Cuxton questions
Is Cuxton within the area you cover?
Yes. Cuxton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Cuxton?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and details are available on request.
Are there drone restrictions in central London?
Central London has restricted areas where NATS permission is needed. If permission isn’t possible, we inspect by other means and explain what we could see.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Safety comes first, so the weather decides. We will not fly in strong wind or a downpour. We will talk through the options if the day turns bad.
