Drone roof surveys in Bromley
Close-up drone surveys of roofs, chimneys, gutters and facades across the borough of Bromley, from Beckenham and Chislehurst to Orpington. No ladders, no scaffold, and a clear written report.
Buildings we inspect across Bromley
Detached and semi-detached homes
Tiled roofs, chimneys, dormers and gutters on larger suburban houses, where a ladder will not reach and scaffold is overkill just to look.
Schools and community buildings
Large roofs that need a full condition record to plan repairs and budgets.
Town centre and commercial buildings
Flat roofs, parapets and facades on shops, offices and mixed-use blocks.
Storm damage
Slipped tiles, lifted lead and damaged ridges after high winds, with dated photos for your insurer.
Recent work near Bromley
Our nearest case study is a 61 m school roof in Lee, SE12, just over the Bromley border, where the drone recorded the whole roof in under an hour and found defects far beyond the reported leaks.
Airspace and permissions
Parts of the borough are near Biggin Hill Airport, which has its own flight restriction zone. We check every address against the airspace map and arrange permission before the day where it is needed.
How a survey works
Send us the address and what you need to know. We check the airspace, plan the flight and confirm the day. On site we use a small take-off area, fly close overlapping runs over every roof plane and elevation, and capture thermal images where they help. AI defect detection runs across the imagery and an experienced inspector checks and grades every finding before it goes into your report.
Do you cover all of Bromley?
Yes. We cover the whole borough, including Beckenham, Bromley, Chislehurst, Orpington, Penge, Petts Wood, West Wickham and Biggin Hill.
Can you fly near Biggin Hill Airport?
Often, yes, with permission. Addresses inside the airport's flight restriction zone need permission before we fly, which we arrange for you.
Is it legal to fly a drone over buildings in London?
Yes, when it is done under the right authorisation. 901 Aerial Surveys flies under a CAA operational authorisation (PDRA01), which covers commercial flights close to people and buildings. Much of London sits inside controlled or restricted airspace, so we arrange any permissions needed before the day.
Do you need access to my property?
Usually only a small, controlled take-off area, such as a car park, garden or a quiet stretch of pavement. Nobody needs to go onto the roof or into the building for the inspection itself.
