Drone roof survey in Marsh Green, Kent
Close-up drone photographs of roofs that are hard to reach in Marsh Green, using drones and thermal imaging where applicable. Call or email for a price.
- Vegetation in valleys and gutters
- Chimney tops in poor condition
- Wind damage high on the roof
What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
About our drone roof survey in Marsh Green
A drone shows the outside of a roof very well, but it can’t see under the coverings or into the loft. We check the loft from inside where it is 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, large and complex roofs and fragile roofs, and people most frequently book us about damage after a storm that can’t be seen from below and loose ridge and hip tiles.
Somewhere as small as Marsh Green, 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. Weather and airspace are checked before the visit, and the journey is planned in advance. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

FAQs for Marsh Green
How do I find out if my home in Marsh Green is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover smaller places like Marsh Green?
Yes, Marsh Green is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Can the drone do thermal imaging?
The drone survey is a photographic inspection. Thermal imaging is a separate check, and it’s part of the Premium Survey.
Can you fly a drone near an airport?
Sometimes, with permission. Confirmed flight restriction zones include Heathrow, Gatwick, London City, Stansted, Luton and Southampton, among others, where the airport or air traffic control must give permission first. Without it, we inspect from other safe viewpoints.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Safety comes first, so the weather decides. We will not fly in high wind or heavy rain. We will talk through the options if the day turns bad.

Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons.
If you live in an older home near Marsh Green Mission Church, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.

Useful tips for Marsh Green property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Check there is room outside for the drone to take off
- Mention anything you’ve noticed on the roof
- Make sure the loft can be reached
- Give us the full address so we can check the airspace
You get an in-person consultation with the Premium Survey to talk through the photographs and findings. You can ask about anything that is not clear.
Check the loft now and then, with care and a good torch. A drone sees the outside, but the loft shows leaks and condensation from below. Photograph anything new.
Why act early in Marsh Green
Leaving a slipped slate or a blocked valley can turn a small fault into a leak. Spotting them early keeps the work smaller. Older and listed buildings around Marsh Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

What else we do in Marsh Green
How the survey changes by roof type
Steep slate and tile slopes
On slate roofs, slipped slates often point to corroded nails. Close-up photos show how widespread it is.
Large commercial roofs
Cement sheet roofs on buildings from before 2000 may contain asbestos. We don’t test for it, but we flag it so a specialist asbestos surveyor can check.
How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about one to two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Around Marsh Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start by checking the airspace and any restrictions at your address.
- We arrange any permission that is needed before we fly.
- Before the flight, we check the conditions and the take-off spot.
- The drone captures close-up photos of the coverings, chimneys, valleys and gutters.
- Your report arrives by email, with close-up photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Jot down any questions you want answered
