Drone Roof Survey in Sevington
Drone roof surveys in Sevington and the rest of Kent. Surveys run on any day of the week.
- Wind damage high on the roof
- Vegetation in valleys and gutters
- Coverings that have slipped high up on the roof
How a drone roof survey works in Sevington
A drone shows the outside of a roof very well, but it cannot see under the coverings or into the loft. We check the loft from inside where it is safe, since that’s where leaks and condensation often show first. Together, the two give a fuller picture. The report sets out what the drone showed and what we found inside. If there’s no safe loft access, the report says so. If you are worried about lead work pulling away at abutments and tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Sevington may be listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It usually takes about one to two hours for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. Around Sevington, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. 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.
- We email a written report with the photographs and our recommendations.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Keep pets in another room
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared

Advice
FAQs for Sevington
How do I find out if my home in Sevington is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover smaller places like Sevington?
Yes, Sevington is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
What if my home is near an airport?
That depends on where the roof is. Inside a flight restriction zone, we need permission first. Book early if you think you may be affected.
What will the report tell me?
A written report with photos, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
What happens next?
You receive the written report by email, with photographs and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Can a drone see inside my loft?
No. The drone photographs the outer surfaces, but it cannot see under the coverings. Where there’s safe access, we check the loft space from inside.
When to book a survey in Sevington
Parapet gutters, box gutters and central valleys sit out of sight. Leaves, silt and plant growth build up unseen, until it causes a leak inside. A drone shows them clearly from above.
People typically book a survey after spotting one of these:
- Gaps where slates or tiles have gone
- Moss and weeds taking hold up top
- Eroded pointing on a chimney stack
- Storm damage on steep or tall roofs
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Before booking anyone
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- What experience they bring
- Their report turnaround times
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
What affects the price in Sevington
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How big the roof is
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.
What we need to know
What helps most when you contact us:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form, let us know about the property and we will suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
When you need someone else
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- The underside of the roof (that needs an inside check)
- Flights in a restricted zone without permission
- A structural engineer’s report
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Tall and steep roofs
- Flat roofs on upper floors
- Valleys and parapet gutters
- Chimney stacks
- Large and complex roofs
- Fragile roofs
Leave it or get it looked at?
A drone survey disturbs nothing on the roof. Fragile slates and tiles stay as they are, so the survey doesn’t create new problems. Older cottages and farmhouses around Sevington can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, how it can be seen safely and the package you choose.
