Drone roof surveys, thermal imaging and inspections
CAA-approved drone surveys for commercial and residential roofs across the UK. High-resolution aerial imagery, thermal moisture detection and measurable mapping, captured without scaffolding or roof access.
Aerial survey capability
A complete picture of roof condition. High-definition imagery, measurable maps and 3D models from a single flight.
Advanced drone technology captures the full roof without the cost and disruption of scaffolding or physical access. Defects such as cracks, ponding, displaced sheets and failed laps are identified at source, and the data is delivered in a form your team can measure and act on.
High-definition imagery
Crystal-clear, high-resolution images across the whole roof, capturing the smallest defects that traditional methods miss.
Measurable aerial maps
Thousands of images stitched and corrected for distortion to produce a fully measurable map at consistent scale and accurate position.
Digital 3D modelling
360-degree panoramic models give a complete view of the property, supporting condition assessment and maintenance planning.
Thermal imaging
Find hidden damage before it spreads. Infrared survey detects moisture, insulation defects and weak points without opening up the roof.
The drone flies the roof capturing thermal images that highlight temperature variation. Anomalies and hotspots are analysed to pinpoint areas of concern that are invisible to the naked eye, a non-destructive method that speeds diagnosis and reduces the cost of repair.
Early detection
Issues are identified before they escalate, saving time and money on repairs.
Efficiency
Surveys are completed quickly, even on large or complex roof structures.
Accuracy
Precise data on roof condition supports informed, evidence-led decisions.
