Aerial Drone Surveys

Aerial Drone Surveys provide a safe, efficient and cost-effective way to assess areas of a property that are difficult or impossible to access. Our drones capture high-resolution imagery that supports accurate reporting and helps identify issues before they become more serious.
This service is carried out by qualified surveyors and trained pilots who follow established site safety procedures and hold full authorisation to operate commercially.

What an Aerial Drone Survey Offers

Aerial Drone Surveys provide clear visual access to elevated or concealed areas without the need for scaffolding, cherry pickers or costly temporary platforms. This makes the process significantly quicker and more affordable while reducing health and safety risks.

Our drones are equipped with high-quality cameras and satellite GPS positioning, allowing for precise imaging and controlled flight paths. The images and video captured during the inspection support a detailed understanding of the property’s condition.

Common applications include:

  • Roof coverings and chimney stacks
  • Hidden structures and inaccessible elevations
  • Gutters, valleys and roof detailing
  • Building envelopes and cladding
  • Hard-to-reach features on period or tall buildings
  • Site boundaries, grounds and overall site extent

Any defects identified can be passed on to contractors for quotations or further assessment.

CAA Approved Commercial Operators

We are CAA Approved Commercial Aerial Drone Operators and authorised by the Civil Aviation Authority to carry out drone inspections. This approval ensures that all flights are conducted safely, responsibly and in full compliance with industry regulations. Every survey is completed by insured and experienced pilots who follow strict on-site safety protocols.

Benefits of Aerial Drone Surveys

This approach offers a combination of speed, safety and clarity that traditional access methods can struggle to achieve. Drones enable us to gather visual evidence quickly and with minimal interruption to the building or its occupants. For many clients, it is a practical and cost-effective alternative to elevated access equipment.

What You Will Receive

You will receive high-resolution images and supporting commentary that explain the condition of the areas inspected.

Where issues are identified, we outline the nature of the problem and give guidance on possible remedial steps or further investigation if required.

Who Uses This Service?

Aerial Drone Surveys are suitable for both residential and commercial clients. They are especially useful for:

  • Homeowners seeking reassurance about roof condition
  • Property managers monitoring building maintenance
  • Surveyors requiring supplementary evidence for reports
  • Commercial property owners with large or complex buildings
  • Contractors assessing repair or renewal work
  • Developers reviewing site layout and constraints

We can also provide measured aerial images for construction or roofing contractors who need accurate reference material for planning repairs or estimating costs.

Neil's communication was excellent from the start, and he quickly and easily arranged our booking. We opted for a Level 2 survey without a valuation, and the survey was highly detailed, including actionable recommendations to address potential risks. The report was delivered promptly within 48 hours, and I would definitely use his services again for any future needs.
