Drone Survey Specialists
What Is a Drone Survey?
A drone survey uses an aircraft flown by a qualified pilot to inspect places that are hard, unsafe or expensive to reach on foot. It produces high resolution images and video of roofs, buildings, sites and land, without scaffolding, ladders or a cherry picker. Our drone survey services cover inspection, monitoring and aerial security across the UK. |
Key Applications:
Drone Roof Survey and Building Inspection
Getting a proper look at a roof usually means scaffolding, a cherry picker or somebody climbing a ladder. All three cost money, take time to arrange and put a person at height. A drone roof survey does the same job from the air in under an hour, and gives you a clear photographic record of what was found. |
Construction
Construction Drone Survey and Site Monitoring
A construction drone survey gives you the whole site in one image, dated and repeatable. Fly it monthly and you have a progress record that no ground level photograph can match. Because we already secure construction sites with CCTV towers and monitoring, we understand what site teams actually need from an aerial record.
Most requested
Progress Records
Dated aerial images of the full site, flown to whatever schedule suits your reporting cycle. Because every flight repeats the same vantage point, month three sits directly against month one, and the difference is obvious to anyone looking, including people who have never set foot on the site.

-
Stockpile and Materials
Visual record of what is on site and where, useful for valuation meetings and dispute resolution.
-
Perimeter and Boundary Checks
Review fence lines, access points and neighbouring boundaries from above, including areas the site team cannot walk.

Drone Survey Services We Offer
As one of the UK’s commercial drone survey companies, we cover inspection, monitoring, security and aerial imaging from a single team.
Security & surveillance drone operations
Covert and overt drone videography for active security monitoring and threat detection, providing aerial intelligence that traditional ground-based surveillance cannot match.
Construction & site monitoring
Regular aerial surveys for construction site security, progress tracking, and perimeter checks, delivered on schedule throughout your project lifecycle.
Estate & rural property protection
Rural and estate protection across large landholdings in where ground-based security has practical limitations, aerial coverage without physical presence.
Vacant property inspections
Remote drone filming of vacant sites in to assess condition and identify unauthorised access, no on-site personnel required for a thorough visual inspection.
Perimeter intrusion detection verification
Aerial PIDS verification to confirm sensor triggers and assess breach points quickly, providing visual evidence and actionable intelligence from the air.
Drone Hire With a Qualified Pilot
Drone hire from us means the aircraft and the pilot together. You do not need a licence, insurance or flight permissions of your own, because we hold all three. Book a single flight, a full day or a repeating visit across a project, and we handle the planning, the permissions and the paperwork before we arrive.

Drone Security Services and Aerial Surveillance
Most drone companies can take a picture of your site. We can tell you what to do about what is in it.
Our drone security services work alongside CCTV towers, thermal cameras and a 24/7 control room, so an aerial flight is planned around what the fixed systems are already showing rather than starting from nothing.
-
Alarm Verification
Confirm what triggered a perimeter sensor before anyone is sent out, reducing wasted callouts and false alarm costs.
-
Estate and Rural Surveillance
Cover large landholdings, farms and remote ground where foot patrols are slow and fixed cameras cannot see.
-
Incident Support
Aerial view during a live incident, giving the control room and responders a picture of the whole site at once.
