Drone Roof Inspections in Sidcup & Kent

A drone survey shows you exactly what is going on with your roof without anyone climbing on it. R&W Roofing Services use drone photography to inspect roofs, chimneys, valleys and gutters across Sidcup, Bexley, Greenwich and Kent, giving you clear high-resolution images and an honest assessment of what, if anything, needs doing.

Why inspect a roof by drone?

Most roof problems cannot be seen from the ground, and ladders only show you one slope at a time. A drone gets above the whole roof in minutes, photographs every slope, valley, chimney and gutter in high resolution, and does it without scaffold, ladders or anyone walking on fragile tiles.

We use drone photography on our own projects, including the before-and-after images of our Sidcup re-roofs, and we offer it as a service in its own right.

What you get

You receive the photographs and a plain-English explanation of what we can see: slipped or cracked tiles, failed lead work, blocked valleys, moss build-up, flaunching condition and gutter problems. If work is needed we quote for it; if it is not, we tell you that too.

FAQs

Drone Roof Inspections FAQs

How can I arrange a roof inspection?
Call 07498 310928, message us on Facebook or Instagram, or use the enquiry form. We will arrange a convenient time, weather permitting.
Is a drone survey safe and legal?
Drone flights are carried out in line with UK Civil Aviation Authority rules for the class of drone used and with regard to neighbouring properties and privacy.
Can a drone see everything a roofer can?
It shows the condition of the roof surface, ridges, valleys, flashings, flaunching and gutters in great detail. Some faults, such as felt condition, still need a look from inside the loft, which we can do at the same visit.
Do I get the photographs?
Yes. The images are yours to keep, which is useful for insurance claims, property sales and comparing the roof condition over time.
