Drone roof surveys for homes and businesses in Stonebridge Green
Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID. It stays within sight for the whole flight, and well below the 120-metre height limit. Each flight is planned with the site and its surroundings in mind. Before every flight, we check the airspace and the weather. Safety comes first on every visit. We’re often asked to look into moss and weeds taking hold up top and worn lead at chimneys and walls, on flat roofs on upper floors, tall and steep roofs and chimney stacks.
Villages like Stonebridge Green often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It is useful right away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

Flying and imaging in Stonebridge 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. You’ll also find oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses among the county’s older buildings. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from ground level, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help. Our drone weighs under 250g, and we hold a CAA 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 James, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps. With Godinton House about 5 miles south-east, the area around Stonebridge Green has a long history. Aerial photos and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it. If you look after a building such as Egerton Church of England Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Leave it or get it looked at?
On a tall building, problems are often found only when water comes in. By then, timbers, ceilings and insulation may be wet. Looking from above picks up the early signs. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Stonebridge Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

FAQs for Stonebridge Green
Are there drone restrictions around Stonebridge Green?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. High wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
Is my home in Stonebridge Green listed or in a conservation area?
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 do I arrange a drone roof survey in Stonebridge Green?
To book, call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know the address and what you need to know. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
When does the report arrive?
Each package has its own report time. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, let us know when booking.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
What do I do with the report?
You’ll receive the report by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.

For landlords and managing agents
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 will plan the survey around it.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
What we do, step by step
We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. For a village or hamlet like Stonebridge Green, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First comes the address, plus a note of what worries you about the roof.
- Airspace restrictions are checked and permission sought where needed.
- On the day, we check the wind, weather and site before flying.
- The drone photographs the roof closely, kept in sight throughout.
- The findings, photos and recommendations reach you by email.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Getting a price
If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you are ready.
Related advice
Different roofs, different checks
Large commercial roofs
Big roofs on offices, warehouses and units take time to inspect. The drone covers the roof area by area.
Steep slate and tile slopes
Widespread slipping on slate normally means nail fatigue. Close-up photos show how widespread it is.
What we cannot see
We only report everything that’s safely in view on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Photos in conditions too poor to fly
- A flight where airspace permission is refused
- What’s under the slates, tiles or felt
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will tell you. What a survey covers and does not.
