Drone roof survey in Green Street Green: what you get
From the air, the outer surfaces are clear, but it can’t see under the coverings or into the loft. We check the loft from inside where it’s safe, because the underside tells its own story. Inside and out together tell you far more. The report sets out what the drone showed and what we found inside. If there is no safe loft access, the report says so. We survey tall and steep roofs, valleys and parapet gutters and large and complex roofs, and people most often book us about coverings that have slipped high up on the roof and standing water on a flat roof.
Villages like Green Street Green often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone cannot 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. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Clear the loft hatch so we can check inside too
- Keep pets indoors during the flight
- Check there is room outside for the drone to take off
- Tell us the exact address when booking
The Premium Survey report comes the same day. Drone photographs are included where we could fly, alongside the other checks in the package.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear, ideally once the leaves have fallen. On tall buildings, use a professional with the right access equipment. Many leaks start with a blocked outlet.
When you need someone else
A survey is a close look at the roof, but it cannot do everything. Its limits include:
- The underside of the roof (that needs an inside check)
- Neighbouring roofs the owner hasn’t asked us to survey
- Flying in a flight restriction zone without the airport’s permission
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll tell you before booking. The full list of what we check.

How the survey changes by roof type
Large commercial roofs
Big roofs on offices, warehouses and units take time to inspect. The drone covers the roof area by area.
Steep slate and tile slopes
Old slates and clay tiles can crack underfoot. A drone avoids that.
Checking the roof from ground level
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
Why get it checked now?
Planning roof work without seeing the roof is a gamble. Our report shows the condition of each area, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant. You can tackle the urgent items first. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Green Street Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, from £400 inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Questions from Green Street Green
Is drone flying allowed in Green Street Green?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Is Green Street Green within the area you cover?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
What if it rains on the day?
Some surveys depend on the weather more than others. Drone flights need calm, dry weather, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof and little wind. If the conditions aren’t right, we’ll talk to you about another date.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
How quickly is the report sent?
Report times are set by the package. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, let us know when booking.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.

Drone roof surveys in Green Street Green: local notes
Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. In the open category, flights stay below 120 m (400 ft) and within sight. Handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles hung on pegs through two holes, are typical of older Kent buildings. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
For businesses in and around places such as Bluewater, thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof. If you look after a building such as Greenlands Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

What happens on the day
