Drone roof survey in Underling Green, Kent
Drone roof surveys in Underling Green and the rest of Kent. We survey seven days a week.
- Outlets choked with leaves and silt
- Tired mortar and pots at the top of a stack
- Slates or tiles shifted by high winds
Different roofs, different checks
Valleys and parapet gutters
When a parapet outlet blocks, water can come inside. We check outlets and photograph any build-up.
Steep slate and tile slopes
Walking on fragile coverings can break them. A drone avoids that, so the survey does not add damage.
About our drone roof survey in Underling Green
A drone can see more than your roof, so we take care. We keep the camera on the roof we are surveying, not on neighbouring homes and gardens. If your roof is shared, a word with next door beforehand helps. We inspect only what the owner has asked us to. Each flight is kept short and stays focused on the roof we’re there to survey. We are often asked to look into debris building up in hidden gutters and wind damage high on the roof, across flat roofs on upper floors, valleys and parapet gutters and tall and steep roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Underling Green, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from ground level. 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Common questions in Underling Green
Are there drone restrictions around Underling Green?
Usually it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Underling Green?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report.
How do I book a survey in Underling Green?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will recommend the right survey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Do you need to get into the loft?
Usually, if there’s one and it can be reached safely. From inside, the underside of the roof frequently shows damp, staining or daylight that can’t be seen from outside.
How long will you be at the property?
It normally takes an hour or two at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. We will confirm the timing when booking.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Drones, thermal imaging and Underling Green roofs
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. Kent’s older buildings take in oast houses and timber-framed Wealden hall houses as well. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail. 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.
For any home in Underling Green, it is the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right. With Stoneacre about 5 miles north-east, the area around Underling Green has a long history. A drone or thermal survey does not involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings.

Useful tips for Underling Green property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Allow time for permission if you’re in a flight restriction zone
- Let us know the exact address as you book
- Keep pets indoors during the flight
- Mention anything you’ve noticed on the roof
There’s a follow-up after 12 months with the Premium Survey. It helps you see how the roof has changed over the year.
Keep gutters, valleys and outlets clear, ideally once the leaves have fallen. On high roofs, leave clearing to a professional. Many leaks start with a blocked outlet.
DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
It is useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
The survey, step by step
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey normally takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Rural addresses near Underling Green can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First comes the address, plus a note of what worries you about the roof.
- We check the airspace and seek any permission needed.
- Before take-off, the wind, the weather and the launch spot are checked.
- Close-up photos are taken of each slope, chimney, valley and gutter, with the drone always in view.
- You receive a written report with the photos and our recommendations.
Before the survey
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Find any records of previous roof work
