Roof Inspections in Kent — See What’s Happening on Your Roof Without Guesswork.
Our drone surveys provide a clear aerial view of difficult-to-see roof areas and can help us assess visible defects before preparing a quotation. A written quotation is sent by WhatsApp or email following assessment where appropriate. Considering buying a property? That is a separate chargeable service — see our dedicated Pre-Purchase Roof Inspections page.
About this service
A roof inspection is a systematic, close-up assessment of the condition of a roof. Where access from a ladder is difficult, unsafe or simply not cost-effective for an initial view, we use a camera drone to capture detailed imagery of the roof covering, ridges, verges, valleys, chimneys, leadwork and gutters. The imagery is then reviewed and reported so you understand exactly what — if anything — needs attention.
Drone surveys are a practical inspection tool, not a gimmick. They let us see slipped tiles, cracked lead, failed flashing and chimney defects clearly without erecting scaffolding for a first look, keeping the inspection affordable and safe. Where physical access is needed to confirm a defect or carry out a repair, we plan that as the next step.

Frequently asked questions
What does a drone roof survey include?
A drone survey includes high-resolution imagery of the roof covering, ridges, verges, valleys, chimneys, leadwork and gutters, followed by a written report identifying visible defects and recommended actions.
Is a drone survey as good as a physical inspection?
A drone survey gives an excellent initial view of visible defects safely and affordably. Where a defect needs close physical confirmation or repair, we plan access as the next step. For many inspections the drone view is all that is needed.
Can I use the report for an insurance claim?
Yes. The imagery and written report are useful supporting documentation for storm damage and other insurance claims. We describe what we see clearly and objectively.
Do you survey commercial roofs?
Yes. We carry out drone roof inspections on commercial and communal buildings as well as residential properties.
I am buying a property — is the roof inspection free?
No. Inspections carried out specifically for customers considering purchasing a property are a separate chargeable service. Our free drone roof survey is intended for existing homeowners seeking roofing advice or quotations. See our Pre-Purchase Roof Inspections page for details.
