Drone roof survey in Stalisfield Green, Kent
Close-up drone photographs of roofs that are hard to reach in Stalisfield Green, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photographs.
- Hidden gutters full of leaves
- Tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack
- Ponding and splits on a high flat roof
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
About our drone roof survey in Stalisfield Green
We fly a sub-250g drone, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. We keep it in sight throughout, and within the 120-metre limit that applies to all drones in the open category. Each flight is planned with the site and its surroundings in mind. Airspace and weather are checked before every flight. Safety comes first on every visit. If you’ve noticed ridge and hip pieces working loose and slates or tiles shifted by high winds, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as Stalisfield Green, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Weather and airspace are looked at 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.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep dogs indoors during the visit
- Make sure the loft can be reached
- Let us know about any leaks or concerns
- Tell next door if the drone will be near their property
The report gives any roofer you ask to quote a clear brief. They’ll see exactly where each defect is, so their quotes cover the same ground.
Look at the roof from the ground after strong winds. Pieces of slate or tile on the ground mean something has moved. A drone survey can show what has shifted.
Common questions in Stalisfield Green
Do you cover smaller places like Stalisfield Green?
Yes, Stalisfield Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How do I find out if my home in Stalisfield Green is listed?
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. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How long will you be at the property?
Typically, it takes an hour or two for most homes, with the pre-flight checks included, and longer for big commercial roofs. Pre-flight checks of the site and the weather are part of that.
Can you fly a drone near an airport?
Near airports such as Heathrow, Gatwick, London City and Stansted, flight restriction zones apply. We check the airspace for your address and seek permission where it is needed. If it is not given, we inspect by other means.
Does the drone show the underside of the roof?
No. The drone photographs the outer surfaces, but not the loft or the underside. Where there’s safe access, we check the roof space from inside.
Will I get photos?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Around Stalisfield Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- You give us the address so we can check the airspace.
- If permission is needed, we ask for it ahead of the visit.
- We assess the wind, the weather and the surroundings before take-off.
- The sub-250g drone takes close-up photographs of the roof, kept in sight throughout.

Before the survey

Flying and imaging in Stalisfield Green
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. Oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses are part of the county’s older buildings too. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail. We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Flights in the open category stay under 120 m (400 ft), with the drone kept in sight.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.

Do you need a drone roof survey in Stalisfield Green?
Walking on some roofs does more harm than good. Older slates and tiles break easily, and fragile sheet roofs are dangerous to walk on. With a drone, the roof is photographed without anyone stepping on it.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Debris building up in hidden gutters
- Moss building up on slopes and in gutters
- Lead work pulling away at abutments
- Standing water on a flat roof
With Belmont House and Gardens about 2.7 miles north-east, the area around Stalisfield Green has a long history. For older roofs nearby, a look from the air or with a thermal camera is a hands-off way to check condition.
