Drone Surveys

For successful informed decision making

Advantages of Drone Surveys


  • Speed and Efficiency: Drones capture data up to five times faster than traditional ground methods, covering large sites or roofing surveys.
  • We utilise mini drones that can be flown in built up area and capture 4k video and 50mp images. Our drone operators are CAA compliant and fully insured.
  • Enhanced Safety: Operators remain safely on the ground, avoiding dangerous areas like steep slopes, unstable areas, active construction zones, or in particular our remit high or complex roofs.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: Reduced labour requirements and faster data collection lower overall costs compared to scaffolding and ladders.
  • High-Resolution Filming you can see what you’re getting
  • Accessibility: Unmanned aerial systems reach tight spaces, tall structures, and difficult terrains that are hard to access on foot or otherwise.
  • Faster to deploy and safer 
  • Drones are faster to deploy than using manual inspection methods like ladders access or elevated work platforms. Plus, the drone can quickly change position to obtain a better view of the site, asset or building to get greater visibility of the current conditions.
  • Cost-effective and affordable 
  • Drones are very affordable, convenient, and cost-effective when compared to other surveying and inspection techniques.
