Drone Surveys Bath (UAV Surveys, Inspections & Mapping)
If you’re looking for drone survey services in Bath, Global Drone Surveys provides professional UAV surveying, inspections and mapping for construction, property and infrastructure projects across Bath and the surrounding area. Bath’s built environment brings unique challenges—tight streets, sensitive public spaces, heritage constraints and a high concentration of listed buildings—so planning, permissions and safe flight execution matter as much as the data itself.
We deliver clear, decision-ready outputs with an unblemished flight safety record, backed by extensive experience working in complex environments and around high-value assets.
Built for Bath: heritage sites, complex roofs and sensitive locations
Bath is known for its historic architecture and protected structures. Drone surveys are ideal here because they reduce the need for scaffolding, cherry pickers and intrusive access—especially on fragile roofs and façades.
We regularly support inspections on Grade II listed and heritage buildings, capturing high-resolution imagery that helps consultants, surveyors and facilities teams identify defects while minimising disruption to the building and the public.
Recent experience in the region includes a complex roof condition survey at Prior Park College, where access constraints and building sensitivity required careful planning and a methodical approach to data capture.
Bath drone survey services we provide
Whether you need a one-off inspection or ongoing progress capture, we tailor the flight plan and deliverables to your project.
Common Bath use-cases include:
-
Roof condition surveys (slate/tile defects, ridge issues, leadwork, gutters, chimneys)
-
Façade and elevation inspections (stonework, fixings, weathering, high-level features)
-
Construction progress monitoring (repeatable viewpoints for like-for-like comparisons)
-
UAV mapping and photogrammetry (orthomosaics, 3D models, measured outputs)
-
Thermal inspections (where suitable) for heat loss, moisture patterns and asset checks
-
Pre-works and post-works documentation for records, handovers and assurance
What you receive (clear deliverables, not just footage)
We focus on outputs that are easy to use in reports and decision-making:
-
High-resolution inspection images with consistent coverage
-
4K video for visual review and stakeholder communication
-
Orthomosaic maps and 3D models (photogrammetry) where required
-
A structured media set for your surveyor/engineer to annotate and report from
-
Optional repeat surveys for ongoing monitoring and comparison
If you tell us what you’re assessing (roof, façade, civils, site progress), we’ll recommend the best deliverable set for that outcome.
Safety-led operations, proven experience
In a city like Bath, UAV work must be planned properly—airspace, public safety, site constraints and access routes all need to be considered before a prop spins.
Our operations are underpinned by:
-
Extensive experience delivering complex inspection and survey flights
-
A strong, unblemished flight safety record
-
Robust pre-flight planning, site coordination and risk management
-
Professional conduct suitable for live sites, occupied buildings and public-facing locations
This is especially important when surveying heritage and Grade II listed buildings, where you need confidence that the work will be carried out safely and respectfully, with minimal disruption.
FAQs for Drone Surveys in Bath
What drone survey services do you provide in Bath?
We provide drone surveys and drone inspections in Bath, including roof and building inspections, asset condition checks, construction progress flights, plus mapping and photogrammetry where required.
Can you survey roofs and buildings without scaffolding?
In many cases, yes. A drone roof survey can capture high-resolution imagery of hard-to-reach areas quickly, reducing disruption and avoiding extensive access equipment where it isn’t essential.
What deliverables will I receive after a Bath drone inspection?
You’ll receive a structured pack of high-resolution images and 4K video suitable for engineers, surveyors and stakeholders. If mapping/photogrammetry is required, we can also supply outputs such as orthomosaics and 3D models (brief dependent).
Do you offer drone mapping and photogrammetry in Bath?
Yes. We provide aerial photography, mapping and photogrammetry to support planning, reporting and site documentation—useful when you need more detail than outdated satellite imagery.
Do you cover aerial filming in Bath as well as surveys?
Yes. Alongside technical survey work, we also support aerial filming for corporate, commercial and production requirements, depending on the brief.
How do you handle Bath airspace and permissions?
We complete airspace checks as part of pre-flight planning and, where required, manage the coordination/permissions process and advise on lead-in times before the flight.
Are you insured and CAA compliant?
Yes we are CAA licensed since 2016 and £10m public liability insurance for aerial work.
How quickly can you deliver results?
It depends on site size and the outputs required, but we’ll agree turnaround at quotation stage. If you need a fast delivery for a live project, tell us your deadline and we’ll confirm what’s realistic.We often wok to a time scale of 48 hrs
What information do you need to quote a drone survey in Bath?
Send: site address/postcode, what you need surveyed (roof/building/land), any access constraints, and the deliverables you want (images only vs mapping/3D). We’ll come back with a clear scope and price.

Drone Mapping Bath
Online satellite imagery can be out-dated by up to 6 years and can be unreliable in planning and analysis needs. Drone survey imagery is typically 20 times the resolution of Google Earth, allowing for greater planning detail and when augmented by our 3D mapping capability, provides ground representation to the smallest detail.
