About our drone roof survey in North Halling
Drone roof surveys are available in North Halling and throughout London and South East England, where the airspace and the weather allow. Flights take place on weekdays and at weekends. Every address is checked for airspace restrictions first. The report includes the drone photos and our recommendations. To check whether your roof suits a drone survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. If you’re worried about cracked slates and tiles out of sight from below and ridge pieces that have lifted, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on fragile roofs, chimney stacks and tall and steep roofs alike.
In a small place like North Halling, open ground can mean strong wind. High wind or heavy rain 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Your questions about drone roof surveys in North Halling
Do you cover smaller places like North Halling?
Yes, North Halling is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in North Halling?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Will the drone film my neighbours?
We take care around neighbouring homes. The camera is pointed at your roof, not next door. It’s worth telling neighbours about the flight.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. Photographs are taken throughout the survey, and the report uses them to show each finding alongside our recommendations.
Surveys for landlords and agents in North Halling
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Landlords and letting agents in North Halling book surveys as well as householders. A written report with photographs gives you a clear record of the roof.
Common roof problems in North Halling
Large roofs take a long time to see on foot. A drone can photograph a large roof methodically, showing patterns of wear that are hard to spot up close. That gives a clearer picture of the roof as a whole.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Slipped or missing slates on a high roof
- Storm damage on steep or tall roofs
- Plant growth and moss on the roof
- Debris building up in hidden gutters
If you run a business near Pentagon Shopping Centre, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- What experience they bring

Airspace, weather and North Halling roofs
North Halling is about 3 miles from Rochester Airport, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. Many older homes in Kent have handmade clay tiles, including Kent peg tiles held by pegs through two holes, and tile-hanging on their upper walls. The county’s older buildings also include oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from the ground, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image. Anyone responsible for a site like Cuxton Community Infant School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
North Halling is about 3 miles south-west of Rochester, in Medway. We carry out drone roof surveys in North Halling for houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings. Across Medway, we cover North Halling and the places around it. We also survey roofs in Maidstone.

How the survey works
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about one to two hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Somewhere as small as North Halling, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You give us the address and tell us 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.
- Close-up photos are taken of each slope, chimney, valley and gutter, with the drone always in view.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
Before the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Related advice
Roof by roof
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Outlets, edges and roof plant are common problem areas. They’re all captured in close-up, as far as the flight allows.
Ridges and hips
Ridges and hips are the most exposed parts of a pitched roof. A drone shows cracked mortar and loose ridge tiles.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
