How Our Aerial Roof Assessments Work

Our Drone Inspection ProcessWe believe in full transparency and keeping our customers informed at every stage. Here is exactly how our scaffold-free roof assessments work for Brentwood homeowners and businesses:1. Initial Consultation & Pre-Flight ChecksWhen you contact us, we discuss your specific concerns—whether that is suspected winter storm damage, an unexplained leak, or a routine health check for an aging roof. We then conduct a desktop safety and airspace check to ensure a drone flight over your property is fully compliant with local regulations.2. The Aerial SurveyOn the scheduled day, our certified pilots arrive to conduct the flight. Using high-definition cameras, we capture detailed images and video of your entire roof structure. We closely examine ridge tiles, chimney stacks, flat roof membranes (such as GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber), and your UPVC fascias, soffits, and guttering.3. Data Analysis & ReportingOnce the flight is complete, our roofing experts review the footage. Because we are seasoned roofers with 25 years of experience, we know exactly what to look for—from degraded Klober Permo Forte breathable membranes to hairline cracks in Redland concrete tiles.4. Transparent, Itemised QuotesYou will receive a comprehensive roofing report containing the visual evidence and our professional recommendations. If repairs are necessary, we provide a transparent, no-obligation quote with no hidden fees.

After deciding what level of work I wanted done, they returned soon after to carry out the roof repairs to a high standard without me even needing to be there."

Drone Survey FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our high-resolution drone roof surveys, aerial inspections, and leak detection services across Swanley, Sevenoaks, Kent, and Croydon & South London.

How much does a drone roof survey cost in Swanley?

+

The price is significantly lower than traditional scaffolding. While costs can vary based on the size of the building, most residential drone surveys provide a massive saving. We provide a fixed, no-obligation quote before we start, so you know exactly what you are paying.

Can a drone find a roof leak?

+

Yes, they are incredibly effective for leak detection. By using high-resolution video, we can spot displaced tiles, failed flashing, or blocked gutters that cause water to back up. We can also look for damp patterns that indicate water ingress is happening behind the scenes.

Is an aerial roof inspection as good as a person on a ladder?

+

In many ways, it is better. A drone can reach heights and angles that are dangerous or impossible for a person on a ladder. We can hover inches away from a chimney stack or fly over a fragile conservatory roof without any risk of causing more damage.

Do I need to be home for the drone survey?

+

As long as we have access to the area around your property, you don't necessarily need to be there. Many of our customers in Sevenoaks and Swanley book us to fly while they are at work. We then send the high-definition footage and the report via email for them to review later.

Is it legal to fly a drone over my house for a survey?

+

Yes, when performed by a professional. We follow all CAA guidelines regarding distance from people and property. We make sure the flight is conducted safely and respects the privacy of your neighbours.
