"Reliable and prompt - the Kevington team was able to view the property and provide options and transparent, itemised quotes on the same day I called. 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."

Philip Day

"Highly recommended! Great price! First class job. Nothing was too much for these lads, very polite, got the job done and more. When they had finished they cleaned up that well, even took some of my own rubbish away for me. Well done lads! Not often you get a good, honest local roofer anymore! Thanks again."

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.
