Drone roof and facade surveys in Kent
From our base in south-east London we cover Kent for drone roof, facade and thermal surveys: homes, schools, farm buildings, warehouses and commercial units, all inspected from the ground.
Buildings we inspect across Kent
Large roofs
Schools, warehouses, industrial units and farm buildings with big roof areas, where a drone records everything in one visit.
Homes
Tiled and slate roofs, chimneys and gutters on houses across the county.
Flat roofs and leaks
Thermal imaging to find water trapped in or under flat roof coverings before you pay for access.
Facades
Render, brick, cladding and glazing on commercial and residential buildings.

See how our surveys work in practice in our case studies, including a 61 m school roof recorded in under an hour and a flat roof leak investigation with around 205 m² of repair zones measured from the air.
Airspace and permissions
Kent has several airfields and airports with their own flight restriction zones. We check every address against the airspace map and arrange any permission before the day.
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.
Which parts of Kent do you cover?
We cover Kent from our base in south-east London. Tell us the address and we will confirm the survey plan and any airspace permissions needed.
Can a drone survey a farm or industrial roof?
Yes. Large roofs are where drones save the most time and cost: the whole roof is recorded in one visit, with defects located and measured.
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.
