Drone Roof Inspection in Brighton and Hove
A drone roof inspection is a visual survey of a roof's condition — tiles, flashing, guttering, valleys and chimneys — carried out by our CAA-registered drone pilot and recorded as photos and video, without the cost, time or access disruption of scaffolding or ladders.
In Brighton and Hove, that covers Kemp Town, Hove, Preston Park, Hanover, Seven Dials, Fiveways, Patcham, Portslade. Brighton and Hove is known for its Regency architecture, extensive Victorian terraced housing, and later 20th-century development, all within a compact coastal city where many properties are in conservation areas and a significant number are listed.
Coverage
Areas we cover in Brighton and Hove for drone roof inspection
Property styles in Brighton and Hove
Regency squares and terraces are concentrated around Brunswick, Kemp Town and the seafront, with dense Victorian terraced housing across much of the wider city, and later suburban housing further from the centre. Basement conversions, loft conversions and rear extensions are common project types on the terraced stock, subject to conservation area and party wall considerations.
Planning considerations
Brighton & Hove City Council is the local planning authority. The city has one of the highest concentrations of conservation areas of any local authority in the South East, and many properties are listed, particularly in the Regency squares. Basement work also requires careful consideration of structural and drainage issues in a dense urban setting.

FAQs
Drone Roof Inspection in Brighton and Hove: FAQs
Do you provide drone roof inspection across all of Brighton and Hove?
Yes, we cover the BN1 and BN2 and BN3 postcode areas in full, including Kemp Town, Hove, Preston Park, Hanover, Seven Dials, Fiveways, Patcham, Portslade.
Is your drone pilot CAA registered?
Yes, our drone roof inspections are carried out by our own CAA-registered pilot, flying our own equipment — not a third-party subcontractor.
Can you fly near Gatwick or other controlled airspace?
It depends on the exact location — properties inside a flight restriction zone may need additional CAA permission or may not be flyable at all. We check this before booking rather than after, so you know upfront whether a survey is possible for your property.
Can I extend a listed Regency property in Brighton?
Alterations to listed buildings require listed building consent in addition to any planning permission, and the historic character of Regency terraces means proposals are considered carefully. We assess feasibility on a case-by-case basis.
