Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Dungeness
Drone roof surveys are available in Dungeness and throughout London and the South East, where the airspace and the weather allow. We fly 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 check whether your roof suits a drone survey, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We survey chimney stacks, tall and steep roofs and large and complex roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are chimney tops in poor condition and flashings that have come away.
Somewhere as small as Dungeness, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

Leave it or get it looked at?
From ground level, you are guessing about most of a tall roof. A drone replaces that guesswork with clear photos. Seeing the problem makes it easier to decide what to do. Outbuildings and barns around Dungeness are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £400, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

Surveys for landlords and agents in Dungeness
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
Drones, thermal imaging and Dungeness roofs
Dungeness is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind off the sea can be strong. The weather on the day decides whether a flight goes ahead, as a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour. Lydd Airport is about 3 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight.
Whatever the street in Dungeness, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early. Whether the property is in Dungeness itself or nearby, the inspection covers what can be seen safely, inside and out.

What we cannot see
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- The underside of the roof (that needs an inside check)
- Photos in conditions too poor to fly
- Structural calculations (that’s a structural engineer’s job)

The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Older rural homes like those around Dungeness can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- You give us the address so we can check the airspace.
- Where a flight restriction zone or restricted area applies, we seek permission first.
- We assess the wind, the weather and the surroundings before take-off.
- The sub-250g drone takes close-up photographs of the roof, kept in sight throughout.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent

Checking the roof from ground level
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a drone roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Shut pets inside while we fly
- Tell next door if the drone will be near their property
- Make sure the loft can be reached
- Clear a spot on the drive or lawn
Keep the photos with your property records. They give you something to compare against later, and they help if you sell.
After a storm, check from the garden and the street. Debris in the garden is a sign to act on. A drone can show exactly what has moved.
FAQs for Dungeness
Is Dungeness within the area you cover?
Yes. Dungeness is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Is drone flying allowed in Dungeness?
Typically it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Lydd Airport is about 3 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take between one and two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. The written report follows by email.
When does the report arrive?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Reports are sent by email.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we’ll recommend one.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. We survey seven days a week.
