Common questions in Hearnden Green
Is drone flying allowed in Hearnden Green?
Usually it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Hearnden Green is about 3 miles from Headcorn Aerodrome, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Will you come out to Hearnden Green?
Yes, Hearnden Green is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
What does a roof survey cost?
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The final figure depends on the roof and the package you choose, confirmed before anything is booked.
How do I arrange a drone roof survey in Hearnden Green?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
How fast do I get the report?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Drone roof survey in Hearnden Green
Before any flight, we check the airspace. Near protected airports like 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 explain why. Prison sites also have drone restriction zones. If you’ve noticed moss and weeds taking hold up top and storm damage on steep or tall roofs, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Hearnden Green, 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. Weather and airspace are checked before the visit. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It’s useful straight away, and a good reference for later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Checking the roof from the ground
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
Leaning stacks and loose pots are easier to judge from above. We record what we find with photos.
Large commercial roofs
Cement sheet roofs on buildings from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We flag it in the report and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor.
Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Let neighbours know about the flight if your roof is shared
- Make sure the loft can be reached
- Keep dogs indoors during the visit
- Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
With the Premium Survey, the report arrives the same day. It includes the drone photos where a flight was possible.
Have leaves and moss cleared from gutters, valleys and outlets, especially in autumn. On tall buildings, use a professional with the right access equipment. Many leaks start with a blocked outlet.
How the survey works
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. Rural addresses near Hearnden Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First comes the address, plus a note of what worries you about the roof.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where needed.
- Before take-off, the wind, the weather and the launch spot are checked.
- We fly the sub-250g drone close to the roof and photograph each area.
- You receive a written report with the photos and our recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know about parking near the property
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
Getting a price
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
