By keeping our team safely on the ground, we eliminate the risks associated with working at height during the initial assessment phase.Cost-Effective: Avoid the high costs of erecting scaffolding just to diagnose a problem.Speed and Efficiency: A drone survey can be completed in a fraction of the time, allowing for rapid roof leak detection and faster repairs.Unrivalled Detail: Our 4K cameras capture ultra-high-definition images of your ridge tiles, lead flashing, and roof valleys, pinpointing even the smallest defects before they cause severe internal damage.Thermal Imaging: Where required, we use thermal cameras to identify areas of poor thermal efficiency, missing loft insulation, or hidden moisture trapped beneath flat roofing membranes like EPDM or GRP fibreglass.

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.
