Over 30 Years of Leadwork Expertise

At N Lee Leadwork Specialists, we use drone technology to carry out detailed roof inspections quickly, safely, and efficiently. Drones allow us to access hard-to-reach or fragile areas without the need for scaffolding, saving time and minimising disruption. With high-resolution imagery, we can capture clear views of the entire roof, helping to spot any damage, wear, or potential issues early.

Our drone surveys are particularly useful for historic or delicate buildings where traditional access methods might risk causing damage. From lead roofing to slate and tile inspections, drones provide a reliable, cost-effective solution to assess the condition of your roof before any work begins. Each inspection is handled by an experienced professional, ensuring you receive clear, actionable advice based on accurate survey results.

Whether you need a one-off check or a pre-work inspection, our drone services offer a modern, accessible way to maintain the integrity of your roof while keeping costs and risks low. We’re proud to combine traditional craftsmanship with the latest technology to offer the best possible service.

N Lee & Sons carried out extensive leadwork restoration on Rochester Cathedral, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Their attention to detail and knowledge of traditional roofing techniques were clear from the outset. They approached the project with great care, ensuring that every element was restored to the highest standard while remaining sensitive to the building’s historic fabric. Throughout, they were professional, reliable, and a pleasure to work with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for any specialist leadwork project.
