Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Stone Street
Our drone weighs under 250g, 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. Every flight is planned around the roof, the site and the people nearby. Before every flight, we check the airspace and the weather. We never fly where it is not safe. If you’ve noticed debris building up in hidden gutters and lifted or split lead flashings, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Stone Street, open ground can mean strong wind. Strong 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 coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Helping us price your survey
What helps most when you contact us:

Surveys for landlords and agents in Stone Street
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Stone Street. To discuss a property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Why it is worth a survey now in Stone Street
Faults on high roofs tend to be found late. By that stage the damage has spread inside. Looking from above picks up the early signs. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stone Street 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.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

What a drone roof survey looks like in Stone Street
Across Kent, older roofs are frequently handmade clay or peg tiles, and tile-hanging on upper walls is a familiar sight. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up close-up aerial shots and thermal images help. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons.
Anyone responsible for a site like St Lawrence Church of England Primary School will know that a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. For an older house near a landmark like St Lawrence, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.

What a drone roof survey does not cover
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Flights in strong wind or a downpour
- Close-up photos of next door’s property
- Anything inside the loft or under the coverings
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you before you book. What our survey covers.
What we look at
- Tall and steep roofs
- Fragile roofs
- Flat roofs on upper floors
- Chimney stacks
- Large and complex roofs
- Valleys and parapet gutters
How the survey works
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes an hour or two at a house, including the airspace and weather checks before take-off. Cottages and farmhouses around Stone Street frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- 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.
- The drone captures close-up photos of the coverings, chimneys, valleys and gutters.
- We email a written report with the photographs and our recommendations.
Before the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Book a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us and give us a few details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

When to book a survey in Stone Street
Parapet gutters, box gutters and central valleys sit out of sight. Leaves, silt and plant growth build up unseen, until water overflows inside. From above, they’re easy to see.
We are frequently asked to look at:
- Wind damage high on the roof
- Coverings that have slipped high up on the roof
- Eroded pointing on a chimney stack
- Plant growth and moss on the roof
Historic houses like Ightham Mote, about 1.1 miles south-east, show how far back building around Stone Street goes. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from ground level, and a survey from the air or with a thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof itself.
What to check before booking
- What happens after the report arrives
- What exactly goes into their report
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What insurance they carry
FAQs for Stone Street
Are there drone restrictions around Stone Street?
Usually it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain.
Is my home in Stone Street listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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 do I arrange a drone roof survey in Stone Street?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll suggest the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, so it’s not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Will you walk 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 the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
How fast do I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email.
