01 / OUR SERVICES
Drone survey & inspection services
From roof condition checks to infrastructure inspections and site mapping, we shape each survey around the information your team needs.
Roof & building inspections
Drone roof inspections and detailed imagery of façades and hard-to-reach structures, helping you assess condition and plan maintenance.
Industrial & infrastructure inspections
Drone inspections for industrial assets, ports and infrastructure, planned around site access, safety and operational requirements.
Drone mapping & 3D modelling
Orthomosaic maps and photogrammetry models to support site planning and measurement, with accuracy and file formats agreed before capture.
Construction progress surveys
Repeat drone photography and aerial site records to track construction progress and keep project teams and stakeholders informed.
02 / SECTORS
Supporting industry, infrastructure & property.
03 / TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES
Aerial imaging, mapping
& photogrammetry.
Our drone surveys—also known as UAV surveys—combine aerial capture and processing to produce imagery, maps and models matched to your brief.
Visual inspection
High-resolution imagery for reviewing asset condition and areas of concern.
Mapping & photogrammetry
Orthomosaics and 3D outputs, with coverage and accuracy requirements agreed in advance.
Thermal inspection
Thermal imagery to investigate temperature patterns, with capture planned around the asset, conditions and inspection objective.

THE KNOWLEDGE HUB
Clear answers.
Confident decisions.
Have a site-specific question?
Let’s talk it through
01Can we discuss a demonstration flight?
Contact us with your site and the results you need. We can discuss whether a demonstration is practical and what permissions would be required.
02How quickly will I receive the survey data?
We agree delivery times and formats in the brief. Raw imagery, processed models and inspection reports have different turnaround times.
03Can I request your data protection policy and insurance details?
Yes. Contact us for the policy and current insurance documentation. Tell us about any site-specific information handling requirements before booking.
04Are your drone operations CAA compliant?
Operations are planned around UK CAA requirements, the airspace, site conditions and the permissions needed for each flight. Site-specific feasibility is assessed before work is agreed.
05What types of assets can you survey?
Discuss roofs, commercial buildings, industrial assets, infrastructure, renewable energy sites and residential estates with us. Access, flight restrictions and the required detail determine the survey approach.
06How accurate is drone mapping?
Accuracy depends on the site, capture method, survey control and processing. We agree the required accuracy and validation approach before quoting, so the outputs suit their intended use.
07What does a drone survey include?
Depending on your brief, deliverables may include inspection photographs, annotated findings, orthomosaic maps, 3D models or construction progress records. We confirm the scope, formats and reporting before capture.
08What happens if the weather is unsuitable?
Flights depend on safe operating conditions. We review the weather and site before mobilisation and coordinate an alternative date if conditions prevent safe or useful capture.
09Do you work across the UK?
Yes. We support projects across the UK, subject to site feasibility, permissions and scheduling. Send your site location and required timescale for an initial discussion.
10How much does a drone survey cost?
Cost depends on site size, location, access, flight planning and the deliverables required. Share your site address, objectives and timescale for a tailored quotation.
