We offer a large range of different drone surveys and inspections. These include:

• Residential & commercial roof inspections
• Construction progress monitoring
• Confined space inspections
• Land mapping & photogrammetry
• Thermal imaging surveys
• Stockpile & volumetric surveys
• And more!

We’re based in Oxfordshire and provide nationwide drone survey services across the UK. We’ve recently completed drone services in areas such as Birmingham, Manchester, Hereford, Liverpool, Oxford, Bristol, and South-East Wales.

Regardless of where you’re based, please do get in touch with us and we’ll provide you with more information about how (and when) we can help.

Yes, we hold the relevant CAA operational authorisations and carry professional insurance for survey work throughout the UK. Click to view our Drone Operational Authorisation Licence from the CAA Licence for Commercial Operations below.

Our team handles CAA permissions, respects no-fly zones and restricted airspace, and supplies pre-flight paperwork – including a full risk assessment – before every job so you can be confident the survey is both safe and compliant.

Prices vary by job size and complexity; residential roof surveys typically start around £400. We can provide you with a bespoke quote after an initial consultation, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

You can contact us via our online form or by phone (01993 259228 ). We aim to respond to enquiries quickly, typically within 24 hours. Then, we’ll talk you through the different options and how we can help you.

Deliverables can include high-resolution images, orthomosaic maps, 2D site overviews, 3D digital twins, roof condition reports and thermal imaging analysis – in whichever format you need.

We have a wide range of sample reports available for both domestic and commercial properties. Please contact us if you’d like a more specific example that’s closer to your needs.

We commit to delivering your report within five working days. If time is of the essence, we can offer an expedited report delivery if possible.

There are several benefits for our drone-based services, including:

• Flexible data outputs, such as topographic 2D orthomosaics
• More cost-effective compared to traditional surveys
• Greater safety for both surveyors and homeowners
• Fast call-outs and report turnaround times
• Complete transparency with unlimited access to expert analysis
• Reduced risk of downtime to your business, since no scaffolding is needed

One of the biggest benefits of a drone-based inspection is that we can inspect hard-to-reach areas safely without the need for scaffolding. Unlike traditional roof surveys, we don’t need physical access to gain a strong understanding of your roof’s current condition.

Yes – our high-resolution images, annotated defect reports, and thermal imaging are commonly used to support insurance or maintenance decisions. They’re particularly popular amongst those buying and selling domestic and commercial properties.

Yes, we run thermal inspections to detect hotspots and underperforming panels and provide a thermal analysis report. For large-scale solar panel farms, we employ our fleet of heavy-duty drones with additional range and an array of sensors.

For more information, view our Solar Panel Survey Services.

For safety and data quality, we may reschedule flights in unsuitable weather (high winds, heavy rain) at no extra cost. We’ll work with you to find the next suitable window.

You should schedule a roof inspection once a year. However, if you experience frequent extreme weather, your roof is ageing, you’re purchasing a property, or you’re concerned about signs of roof damage, you should consider more frequent roof inspections.

For more information about when to schedule your inspection, view our useful guide.

We use the DJI Matrice 4E and the DJI Matrice 4T. These professional inspection drones combine high-quality visual and thermal sensors for reliable, repeatable data capture. This drone helps us pinpoint faults on roofs, solar arrays, and electrical systems, helping us to generate reports that you can actually benefit from.
