Full View’s drone building surveys give insurance providers fast, reliable evidence to support claims, all without the disruption or safety concerns of traditional access methods.
At Full View, we understand the pressure to make quick, accurate decisions, especially when dealing with time-sensitive claims or post-event assessments.
Our drone building inspections provide clear, high-resolution, and fully defensible evidence of roof condition, helping you assess risk and support decisions with confidence. Importantly, all of this is delivered without the delays, disruption, or safety concerns that come with traditional access methods like scaffolding or manual inspections.
For insurance providers, roof condition is an important factor in both claims validation and long-term risk assessment.
Having up-to-date visual data allows you to act decisively, whether that’s confirming damage, identifying pre-existing issues, or prioritising next steps after a loss event.
Our drone roof surveys give insurers and loss adjusters an evidence-led way to assess properties across single sites or entire portfolios. Our drone inspections provide a scalable approach that traditional methods often struggle to deliver efficiently.
Faster Claims Assessment & Dispute Resolution: Our drones can quickly capture damage with clear, irrefutable visual evidence.
Clear Support for Underwriting & Renewals: We’re able to assess roof condition from a safe distance with confidence.
Fast Post-Storm / Emergency Assessments: We can prioritise sites and respond quickly after severe weather events.
Safer Inspections, Lower Cost: No need for scaffolding or manual roof access - our drones can do it all, no matter the roof complexity!
Defensible, Auditable Evidence: We provide timestamped imagery and structured reports to support decisions.
Our drone inspection process is built around the needs of insurance providers - here’s what to expect:
We start with a short consultation to confirm the claim brief and any known risk areas. This lets us plan an inspection that fits your needs and keeps disruption to the site to a minimum.
Our CAA-compliant pilots fly drones fitted with high-resolution cameras and thermal sensors to capture the roof’s condition. Flights are fast, non-intrusive, and safe, making them ideal for single sites or scaled portfolio surveys.
Next, we review visual data to identify leaks, trapped moisture, insulation failures, structural issues, and evidence of prior or storm damage.
Finally, we provide you with an evidence-led report, typically within 72 hours. Each finding is prioritised by risk severity, so that the next steps are simple to arrange.
Our reports are built specifically for insurance professionals, giving you a reliable overview of roof condition to support claims and risk assessments. Here, we highlight key findings such as storm damage, wear and tear, moisture ingress, and any indicators of pre-existing issues, helping you make informed decisions.
Each report includes high-resolution imagery, annotated evidence, and prioritised insights, making it easy to review, share, and act upon. Whether you’re validating a claim or assessing risk across a portfolio, our structured reports ensure nothing is overlooked.

“I’ve worked with Alex from Full View on several drone roof surveys across London over the past couple of years and he has consistently provided an excellent service. A few of the sites were in particularly built-up areas with very limited space for drone navigation, but Alex handled everything with confidence and precision. He takes care of all the necessary permits and permissions, which makes the process completely hassle-free."
“The way he organises and transfers the photos into clearly labelled files makes it far easier to share visuals with clients and incorporate them into our reports. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him for any drone survey work, especially in complex or restricted environments."
At Full View, we combine advanced drone technology with insurer-focused reporting to help you make faster, more confident decisions. Here’s why we’re the chosen partner for many providers:

Fast Reporting: Receive a clear report within 72 hours (or sooner), so you can progress claims and underwriting without frustrating delays.
Evidence You Can Rely On: High-resolution and timestamped imagery provides a robust audit trail to support claims validation and risk assessments.
Fully Insured & CAA-Authorised: All surveys are carried out safely and in full compliance with the UK’s aviation regulations, giving you complete peace of mind.
Advanced Drone & Thermal Expertise: We identify hidden defects such as moisture ingress and insulation issues, providing deeper insight than traditional inspections alone.

Flight times depend on the size and complexity of the roof. Smaller sites can often be surveyed in just a few hours, while larger or more intricate roofs may take longer. Once the flight is complete, we aim to provide a fully insurer-ready report within 72 hours.
The cost of a roof survey depends on the size, complexity, and accessibility of the property. For example, a single-story flat roof is straightforward to survey and could cost around £200. On the other hand, a country home with multiple roofs at different levels requires a more complex flight plan, with prices typically starting from £800 or more.
We also offer additional extras for more in-depth analysis, such as 3D digital twins and orthomosaic mapping. Understandably, these cost more than standard image-based reporting.
Yes, we deliver scaled programmes for multiple sites with consolidated reporting to help portfolio managers compare risk across assets efficiently. If you need inspections across multiple sites or properties, please let us know as early as possible.
All flights are conducted by CAA-authorised, insured pilots following aviation rules and site safety protocols. Our pilot licences and insurance details are available on request for audit processes.
Yes, we coordinate with the policyholder, site contact, or appointed loss adjuster to obtain necessary access permissions. For claims-led inspections, insurers commonly arrange or confirm permission through their normal claims channels.
In the event of extreme weather, we can promptly visit and report on affected properties, helping you to allocate contractors and set reserve times more efficiently.
