How Our Aerial Roof Inspection Process Works

We make assessing your roof simple, safe, and stress-free. First, our directly employed team will visit your property to discuss any specific concerns, such as water ingress or suspected storm damage. We then deploy our state-of-the-art drones to conduct a thorough structural assessment from the air.The drone captures crystal-clear images and video footage of hard-to-reach areas, including chimneys, valleys, and roofline components. Finally, we provide you with a transparent, itemised report that highlights any defects. This gives you all the information you need to make an informed decision on necessary repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drone Roof Surveys

Are drone roof surveys accepted by insurance companies?Yes, absolutely. In fact, many insurers prefer aerial inspections because the high-definition photos and videos provide clear, undeniable evidence of storm damage or structural failure.How long does an aerial inspection take?A typical drone survey takes less than an hour to complete on-site. This makes it incredibly convenient, causing minimal disruption to your day compared to traditional scaffolding methods.Can a drone spot hidden problems like poor insulation?While standard cameras capture visible damage like missing dry-ridge systems or broken tiles, our structural assessments often reveal tell-tale signs of poor thermal efficiency, such as advanced moss growth or pooling water on flat roofs. The highly detailed imagery acts similarly to thermal imaging principles to detect escaping heat.

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.
