How a drone roof survey works in Nash Street
The weather decides whether a drone can fly. Strong wind or a downpour rules out a flight, because control and safety come first. If the weather turns, we’ll agree another day. The forecast is checked ahead of the visit and again on the day. Calm, dry conditions give the sharpest close-up photos. Waiting for a better day is better than a rushed flight. We survey flat roofs on upper floors, valleys and parapet gutters and chimney stacks, and common reasons people get in touch are debris building up in hidden gutters and worn lead at chimneys and walls.
Villages like Nash Street often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. Strong wind or a downpour stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

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. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older roofs in small places like Nash Street can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- 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 photos of the roof, kept in sight throughout.
- We email a written report with the photographs and our recommendations.
Before the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and the days you’d prefer.

What affects the cost of drone roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- The size of the roof
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Height and safe access
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Getting in touch
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Anything about access we should know
Drone roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can ring 07833 053749 or email us to find out.
Nash Street: your questions answered
Is my home in Nash Street listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Nash Street?
Usually it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days as you book.
How do I arrange a drone roof survey in Nash Street?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we’ll recommend the right survey. Surveys run seven days a week.
How fast do I get the report?
It depends on the package: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
What does the report include?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. The most urgent items are made clear.
Drone roof surveys in Nash Street: local notes
Nash Street is within about 5 miles 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 can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour. Older houses across Kent often have handmade clay or peg tiles, and many have tile-hung walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Many roofs like these can’t be judged properly from the pavement, and that’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mildred, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help. With Cobham College about 1.8 miles east, the area around Nash Street has a long history. For older roofs nearby, a look from above or with a thermal imager is a hands-off way to check condition.
Nash Street is about 3 miles south of Gravesend, in Kent. Wherever you are in Nash Street, we can come and survey your property. Nash Street is one of the places in Kent we cover for drone roof surveys. For surveys nearby, see our Maidstone page.

- Large and complex roofs

How the survey changes by roof type
Chimney stacks
From the air, a lean or a loose pot is easy to see. We record what we find with photos.
Valleys and parapet gutters
When a parapet outlet blocks, water can come inside. We check outlets and photograph any build-up.
Do you need a drone roof survey in Nash Street?
Parapet gutters, box gutters and central valleys sit out of sight. Debris collects where nobody looks, until it causes a leak inside. From above, they’re easy to see.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Blistered or cracked flat roof coverings
- Cracked mortar along the ridge
- Flashings that have come away
- Hidden gutters full of leaves
Anyone responsible for a site like Istead Rise Primary School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
What to check before booking
- What exactly goes into their report
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- How soon the report will arrive
Tips that help
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Let us know what you want to see
- Share the postcode so we can check for restrictions
- Keep a clear space in the garden or drive for take-off
- Keep pets indoors during the flight
The Premium Survey report comes the same day. It includes the drone photos where a flight was possible.
Keep the loft space ventilated. Poor airflow lets condensation build up. Keep insulation clear of the eaves.
