Looking for a drone pilot that can deliver high-quality aerial surveys and inspections across Yorkshire and the North East?

Aside from being a drone photography business, we specialise in roof and building inspections using advanced drones including the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise Thermal, DJI Mavic 3 Pro, and DJI Mini series drones. Our fleet allows us to carry out both high-resolution visual inspections and thermal surveys, helping identify issues like leaks, damp ingress, and structural concerns—quickly, safely, and without the need for scaffolding or MEWPs. This means we can assess your building quickly and at lesser cost compared to manual inspections as the only equipment required for the job is the drone.

Whether you’re a homeowner, property manager, or commercial contractor, our inspections provide you with detailed aerial imagery and data to support maintenance decisions, insurance claims, and planning applications. We also offer before-and-after documentation, so you can clearly demonstrate any repairs or changes made.

Our service is fast, cost-effective, and designed to minimise disruption. We cover residential, commercial, and industrial properties across the region and work closely with roofers, surveyors, and local councils to deliver accurate, reliable results.

What Makes Us Stand Out from the Rest?

The DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise drone can capture incredibly detailed images and thermal data, even from hard-to-reach or hazardous locations. This isn’t just a drone—it’s a professional inspection tool.

Equipped with a 48MP wide-angle camera, 56× hybrid zoom for detail from safe distances, and thermal imaging capabilities, the Mavic 3 Enterprise allows us to detect issues that may be invisible to the naked eye—such as heat loss, damp, missing insulation, as well as visible issues such as blocked gutters, water ponding, et cetera.

Combined with GPS-tagged imagery and precise altitude control, we can provide accurate, repeatable inspections across large or complex structures.

The drone also allows for autonomous flight missions including area, waypoint, oblique, and other mission types to support quick and efficient data collection. This means that our roof and building surveys take less time than when flown manually.

We pair this with the use of the DJI Mini series drones, which are ideal for quick surveys in tight urban spaces or around smaller buildings.

From single homes to large commercial properties, what sets us apart is our blend of technology, experience, and actionable insights—helping you make informed decisions fast.

Benefits of Drone Roof Surveys vs Traditional Inspections in Yorkshire & the North East

When it comes to roof inspections across Yorkshire, & North East, drone roof surveys offer a smarter, faster, and safer alternative to traditional methods. Here’s why more homeowners, property managers, and contractors in the region are choosing drone technology for their roof assessments:

1. Speed and Efficiency
Drone roof surveys can be completed in a fraction of the time it takes for manual inspections. Instead of waiting days or weeks for scaffolding setup and access, our drones capture high-resolution images and thermal data within hours—allowing faster decision-making and repairs.

2. Enhanced Safety
Traditional roof inspections often require workers to climb ladders, scaffolding, or use costly mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs), exposing them to potential hazards. Drones eliminate the need for physical access, meaning inspections can be conducted safely from the ground, even on steep or fragile roofs.

3. Cost-Effective
By reducing labour time, equipment rental, and risk, drone surveys save clients across Yorkshire and the North East money. Our drone inspections provide detailed reports without the premium costs associated with traditional survey methods.

4. Minimal Disruption
Our drone inspections are non-invasive and quiet, allowing businesses and residents in Harrogate and beyond to continue their day uninterrupted. No scaffolding means no blocked entrances or disturbances to property occupants.

5. Detailed and Accurate Data
Equipped with high-resolution cameras and thermal imaging, our drones reveal issues invisible to the naked eye, such as heat loss, damp patches, or missing insulation. GPS-tagged imagery provides precise locations of faults, helping you prioritise repairs efficiently.

6. Access to Hard-to-Reach Areas
Drones can safely survey roofs with difficult access, including tall buildings, industrial sites, or properties near hazards. This ensures comprehensive coverage without putting people at risk.
