Surveying the roof of a large building can be time-consuming, expensive and risky. The latest drone roof-survey technology makes it safer and significantly cheaper.
Our drone operators quickly gather detailed information about the roof areas of any building — including difficult-to-reach gutters and abutments — and the data is supplied as either high-resolution still imagery or 4K UHD video.
The detailed photographs or 4K UHD video recorded by our pilot / chartered building surveyor are issued direct to the client. Where required, our surveyor can provide written advice and recommendations on roof condition without the need for hiring costly access equipment, erecting scaffolding, or requiring staff to work at height.
Surveying defects in cladding on tall buildings can be very difficult, with access challenging and expensive. Smaller drone technology now makes surveying cladding even easier and safer.
Our drone operators can quickly gather detailed information about the cladding across the entire façade of the building — including hard-to-reach abutments. The data is supplied as either high-resolution still imagery or 4K UHD video, ready for compilation into formal façade reports.
We provide drone photography and aerial services for construction sites — fortnightly progress capture, marketing imagery, and time-stamped legal records of site condition.
Where stakeholders are spread across the country, regular aerial captures give boards, lenders and tenants a genuine sense of where things are — and the recorded video makes a compelling reference if the project is ever subject to dispute.
Quick answers to the questions we get most often. Anything else, just call.
Yes. All flights are conducted by CAA-authorised drone operators with full operational authorisation, PPE and CAA-compliant flight planning.
4K UHD video, high-resolution still photography, and (where commissioned) the chartered surveyor's interpretation and recommendations on the condition observed.
For visual inspection — yes. Drone surveys identify defects, blockages, lead flashing failures and pointing issues in a fraction of the time, without the cost and disruption of scaffold or rope access. Repair work obviously still requires conventional access.
Yes. Smaller drone technology makes high-rise façade surveys safer, faster and significantly cheaper than traditional access — across entire elevations including difficult-to-reach abutments.
Many central London sites are within restricted or controlled airspace and require permissions. We handle the CAA paperwork and risk assessments as part of every job — please ask us to scope your specific site.
Yes — time-stamped 4K video and high-resolution stills make excellent documentary evidence. If you need a chartered surveyor's accompanying report for the same purpose, we can include that.
