Lamberhurst Quarter questions
Is my home in Lamberhurst Quarter listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Lamberhurst Quarter within the area you cover?
Yes, Lamberhurst Quarter is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How long will you be at the property?
Typically, it takes about one to two hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. That includes checking the site and the weather before take-off.
What happens next?
The report comes by email, and what you do next is up to you: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
How do I arrange a drone roof survey in Lamberhurst Quarter?
Simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Do you hold CAA registration for the drone?
Yes. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator, with a Flyer ID and an Operator ID. We fly a sub-250g drone and follow the drone code.
Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Lamberhurst Quarter
Neighbours’ privacy matters on every flight. We keep the camera on the roof we are surveying, not on gardens or windows next door. If your roof is joined to a neighbour’s, it is worth letting them know about the visit. We survey the roof you’ve asked us to look at. Each flight is kept short and stays focused on the roof we’re there to survey. If you’re worried about gaps where slates or tiles have gone and storm damage on steep or tall roofs, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Lamberhurst Quarter may be listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What happens on the day
It is useful 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 an hour or two at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Lamberhurst Quarter can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- You give us the address and tell us about the roof.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- On the day, we check the wind, weather and site before flying.
- We fly the sub-250g drone close to the roof and photograph each area.
- We email the report with close-up photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Getting a price
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email when you are ready.
Advice
Different roofs, different checks
Ridges and hips
Ridges and hips are the most exposed parts of a pitched roof. From above, we can see loose ridges and missing mortar.
Steep slate and tile slopes
Walking on fragile coverings can break them. A drone avoids that.
Useful tips for Lamberhurst Quarter property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Move stored items away from the hatch
- Give us the full address so we can check the airspace
- Tell next door if the drone will be near their property
- Clear a spot on the drive or lawn
Keep the photos with your property records. They give you something to compare against later.
Keep the loft space ventilated. Condensation in the loft can damage timbers and insulation, and it’s something only an inside check will show. Make sure insulation does not block the airflow.
Common roof problems in Lamberhurst Quarter
Steep and tall roofs are hard to inspect safely. Three-storey houses, blocks of flats and tall commercial buildings are common examples. A drone gets close-up views from a safe position on the ground.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Damage after a storm that can’t be seen from below
- Vegetation in valleys and gutters
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
For any home in Lamberhurst Quarter, it is the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.
