How a drone roof survey works in Stockland Green
Tall, steep, large or fragile roofs cannot always be inspected up close. A drone takes close-up photos of those roofs from the air. It shows coverings, ridges, chimneys, valleys and gutters clearly. Everything we find goes into a written report with photos. It also suits roofs that would be damaged by someone walking on them. Where a flight is not possible, we explain why. We survey tall and steep roofs, fragile roofs and flat roofs on upper floors, and the problems we are asked to look at most are ridge pieces that have lifted and damage after a storm that can’t be seen from below.
Villages like Stockland Green often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. 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. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What we look for on each type of roof

Some ridges are fixed with mortar, others with dry-fix systems. Their condition is noted in the report.
Flat roofs on tall buildings
Flat roof coverings wear out at different rates. We record the signs of age we can see.

Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:

- Roofs and gardens beyond the one we are surveying
- Anything inside the loft or under the coverings
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will suggest the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.

Flying and imaging in Stockland Green
Penshurst Place, about 2.5 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Stockland Green. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. We fly a sub-250g drone and are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). In the open category, flights stay below 120 m (400 ft) and within sight.
Shop and office owners around Royal Victoria Place may find that big, flat commercial roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help most. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Speldhurst Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Small defects on a high roof grow with each storm. Spotting them early keeps the work smaller. In a small place like Stockland Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

How the survey works
We’ll ask a few questions first, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Around Stockland 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 is safe.
- First, we check the address for flight restrictions.
- Where a flight restriction zone or restricted area applies, we seek permission first.
- On the day, we check the weather and the site before flying.
- We fly the drone close to the roof to photograph it in detail, always in sight.
- You receive a written report with photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Let us know where we can park nearby

Stockland Green: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Stockland Green is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Stockland Green?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The written report follows by email.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We’re roof surveyors, not structural engineers. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we’ll recommend one.
What do I do with the report?
You’ll get the report by email. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Allow time for permission if you’re in a flight restriction zone
- Tell us about any leaks or concerns
- Tell us the exact address when you book
- Move stored items away from the hatch
Your report arrives by email, with close-up photographs from the flight. Findings are set out in plain English, with recommendations prioritised by urgency where relevant.
Have high or hard-to-reach roofs surveyed every few years. Comparing surveys shows what is wearing, so small faults are dealt with early.
