Confined Space Drone Inspections

Safe, Rapid, Drone Surveys & 3-D mapping for hazardous or hard to reach spaces

Using cutting-edge drone technology, we offer confined space drone inspections and surveys that provide detailed imagery and digital models. This eliminates the need to manually access traditionally difficult areas, hazardous locations in order to perform a visual inspection, and removes health and safety risks.

About Our Confined Space Drone Inspections


Our confined space drone inspection services offer a safer, more affordable, and faster service than traditional, manual inspections.

Traditional confined space inspections were fraught with logistical challenges and health and safety concerns. Our UAV-assisted surveys eliminate many, if not all, of these health and safety considerations and improve the safety of your employees.

Our drones are specially designed to handle confined spaces, with a collision-resistant cage that is built for impact tolerance. These drones are equipped with thermal cameras, 4K imaging cameras, strong torches and low-light recording capabilities.

And because all of our footage is captured and delivered to you in a concise, detailed report with measurable data, inspections can be repeated as necessary to see changes over time.

Benefits of Confined Space Drone Inspections

Hard hat Icon

Enhanced Safety

Our inspection drones eliminate the need for entry into hazardous environments or confined spaces, which significantly reduces the risk of accidents and exposure to harmful conditions.

Improved Accessibility

Drones can easily inspect hard-to-reach and hazardous areas without the need for harnesses, cherry-pickers, ropes, or other complex access solutions.

Profit Icon

Cost Savings

Our drone inspections can help lower the cost of inspection work, due to removing the need for additional safety equipment such as scaffolding.

Time Savings

Drones can perform inspections much faster than traditional methods, meaning you get your report and can start work faster.

Reduced Downtimes

The time savings from a drone survey can reduce the need for downtime or closing areas of your site or business.

Drone Icon

Precise Measurements

Our drones can be fitted with all necessary sensors or specialist cameras to capture high-resolution images and precise data, ensuring you get the most accurate inspection possible.

Data Sheet Icon

Flexible Data Outputs

We work with you to provide your report in the format you need, whether a volumetric survey, high-resolution images, or 3D digital models.

Human icon

Reduced Human Error

Traditional inspection methods were open to human error and individual interpretation. Recording accurate data with drones removes any human bias, as you can see confined spaces for yourself.

One of our most popular drone survey outputs is our 3D Mapping with data points, which gives you a visual and interactive 3D digital twin of your confined space to see.

What Our Clients Say About Working With Us

  • “Alex arrived punctually and was very friendly and polite. After checking conditions in our attic and two areas of water ingress he began his thorough drone inspection externally.

    Following the inspection he took time to show me areas of concern. This was followed up with photos and full inspection report a few days later.

    Alex was professional throughout and I have no hesitation in recommending him if you need an independent roof inspection.”
