What are drone surveys and why do they matter?

A drone, or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), allows us to complete complex roof inspections from above. We use high-resolution cameras, thermal imaging and special flight plans to check hard-to-reach areas quickly, safely, and cheaply. 

They can spot potential problems or damage that might not be visible from the ground without the need for invasive inspections. Drone mapping also allows us to create a 3D model of your property for a full inspection.

Drone Survey FAQs

Drone surveys eliminate the need for expensive scaffolding or access towers. They’re ideal for difficult-to-reach or unsafe areas and provide ultra-high-definition (4K) images and video for accurate assessment and planning.

It’s a fast, safe, and cost-effective way to assess the condition of hard-to-reach areas without scaffolding or ladders.

Most surveys can be completed within a few hours, depending on property size and complexity. Our reports are typically delivered within 48 hours of the survey being completed.

We carry out surveys for both residential and commercial properties across Somerset, Devon, Dorset, and surrounding areas. Whether it’s a single home or a large industrial unit, our team can deliver.

Drone surveys help identify missing tiles, blocked box gutters, damaged chimneys, poor brickwork, solar panel positioning, and signs of heat loss or moisture ingress. We also support annual condition reporting.

All of our operators are trained and follow UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) regulations. Each job includes a pre-flight plan and risk assessment to ensure safety and compliance.

We use 4K cameras and high-definition images for close-up checks. This gives clear details for reports and repair plans. You’ll also receive high-quality visuals and expert recommendations.

We provide detailed survey reports accompanied by images and repair advice. These are suitable for property owners, facility managers, insurers, heritage preservation, or anyone managing building maintenance.

All surveys are subject to weather conditions. High winds or heavy rain can delay flights. We always aim to reschedule promptly if weather prevents safe operation.

We operate across Somerset, Devon, Dorset and surrounding locations including Bristol, Bath, Taunton, Exeter, Salisbury, Weston-super-Mare and Plymouth.
