Drone Roof Inspection in Lewes
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 Lewes, that covers Cliffe, Southover, Landport, Nevill, Malling, Wallands. Lewes is the historic county town of East Sussex, built on a steep hillside above the River Ouse within the South Downs National Park, with a dense concentration of listed and historic buildings in its centre.

FAQs
Drone Roof Inspection in Lewes: FAQs
Do you provide drone roof inspection across all of Lewes?
Yes, we cover the BN7 postcode area in full, including Cliffe, Southover, Landport, Nevill, Malling, Wallands.
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.
How does South Downs National Park status affect building work in Lewes?
Development within the National Park is assessed with particular regard to landscape character and setting, alongside normal planning policy. Combined with the town's conservation area and listed building status, this means early advice is particularly valuable in Lewes.
