We will arrange a convenient time to visit your Gravesend property.2. Aerial Data CaptureOn the day, our certified operators will pilot advanced drones over your property. We capture ultra-high-definition imagery and video, easily accessing hard-to-reach areas like chimney stacks, valley gutters, and fragile roof coverings without a single footstep on your tiles.3.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drone Surveys

What weather conditions are required for a drone survey?For safety and to ensure the clearest possible imagery, our drones require dry weather and relatively low wind speeds. If the weather in Gravesend takes a turn for the worse on your scheduled day, we will simply rearrange for the next available clear window.Can a drone roof inspection spot a hidden leak?Yes, absolutely. While water ingress can be tricky to trace, our high-resolution cameras are excellent for advanced roof leak detection. We look for slipped slates, cracked concrete tiles, failing lead valley repairs, and blocked fascias, soffits, and guttering that often lead to internal dampness.Do I need to be at home during the aerial survey?It is entirely up to you. As long as we have clear access to the exterior of your property and permission to fly, we can conduct the survey while you are at work or out for the day. We will then share the digital findings and our itemised quote with you afterwards.

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.
