Drone Roof Inspection in East Grinstead
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 East Grinstead, that covers Ashurst Wood, Forest Row, Dormans Park, West Hoathly, Felbridge, Turners Hill, Imberhorne. East Grinstead's High Street is one of the best-preserved medieval streets in Sussex, lined with timber-framed and Georgian-fronted buildings, while the wider town includes Victorian terraces, 20th-century suburbs and newer estates. The town sits close to Ashdown Forest and the Weald countryside that gives the region its name.

Property styles in East Grinstead

Extension work in the older core often needs to respect visible timber framing and historic materials.
Planning considerations
Mid Sussex District Council is the local planning authority. East Grinstead High Street and surrounding streets are within a conservation area with numerous listed buildings, so work affecting the exterior of properties here is more tightly controlled than in the newer suburbs. We confirm the position for individual properties during feasibility.

Is your drone pilot CAA registered?

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 building in East Grinstead town centre?
Listed buildings require listed building consent for alterations that affect their character, in addition to any planning permission needed. We assess this on a case-by-case basis and can advise on the likely process.
