Drone-Based Building and Roof Surveys

Thermal and visual drone inspections for leak detection, condition reporting and planned maintenance.

How We Can Help

We survey building envelopes and roofs quickly and safely using high resolution visual imaging and thermography. This is ideal for locating leaks, heat loss, failed membranes, blocked gutters and general condition issues without scaffolding or roof access. We also provide visual only options where thermal is not required.

Why This Approach Works

Ground checks and spot repairs often miss the wider picture. Complex rooflines, tall façades and restricted access make traditional methods slow and expensive. Aerial imaging captures complete coverage in one visit so you can see defects in context and plan targeted works with confidence.

Cut Time, Cut Costs, See More

One flight delivers roof and façade visuals, thermal comparisons and accurate measurements. No scaffolding, no roof walking and minimal disruption to the site. You get clear evidence for maintenance decisions, warranty claims and budgets.

Survey Deliverables

Side by side thermal and visual imagery of roofs and façades
Annotated defect map with priorities and recommended actions
Orthomosaic roof plan with dimensions and drainage fall context
Gutter, outlet and rooflight condition record with debris mapping
Moisture and heat loss indicators for membranes and insulation
3D roof model or elevation photogrammetry where required
PDF summary report plus image sets and optional GIS files

What We Look For

Ponding, blisters, open laps and membrane failure
Cracked tiles, missing slates and damaged flashings
Blocked gutters, failed outlets and vegetation growth
Parapet, coping and upstand defects
Heat loss, cold bridging and insulation gaps
Cladding, pointing, render and sealant issues

Where This Works Best

Housing blocks and estates, schools and universities, hospitals and care facilities, industrial units and warehouses, retail parks, offices and heritage sites.

Safety and Compliance

All flights are planned with task specific RAMS and CAA compliant procedures. We maintain safe stand off distances, coordinate with site teams and operate outside of live works wherever possible.
