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.

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.

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