PROFESSIONAL DRONE
ROOF INSPECTIONS

Independent drone roof inspection — we don't sell the repairs

CAA-approved drone operations delivering a fully documented aerial roof survey. See the true condition of a roof without the cost, delay or risk of scaffolding or cherry pickers — every section captured in high-resolution detail across Warrington, Manchester, Cheshire and the wider North West.

How A Survey Works

EVERY POINT,
PHOTOGRAPHED & MAPPED

Each survey plots dozens of geo-referenced capture points directly onto the roof plan, so every photo is tied to its exact location — drainage, flashing, membrane condition, rooftop units and structural details are all documented and easy to find, rather than a handful of general shots.

Beyond the photo map, we can build an interactive 3D model of the full roof from the aerial data, so it can be rotated, zoomed and inspected from any angle in a browser — the closest thing to walking the roof without leaving the ground.

Click any case study image to view it full-size.

Good to Know

WEATHER &
FLIGHT CONDITIONS

Drone inspections are subject to suitable weather and safe flying conditions. If strong winds, rain, fog or poor visibility make a flight unsafe or unsuitable for quality imagery, the inspection is rescheduled at no additional charge. We monitor conditions before every flight and reserve the right to postpone where safe operating requirements aren't met — and we'll work with you to arrange the earliest suitable alternative date.

Independent drone roof inspection — we don't sell the repairs. Drone inspections provide a visual assessment of conditions that can be identified from aerial imagery. They do not replace a physical roof survey where hands-on examination, specialist testing or access to concealed areas is required. Findings are based on what can be safely observed from the available aerial imagery and the conditions at the time of inspection.

SOLAR FARM
INSPECTIONS

Independent solar inspection — we don't sell the repairs

Protect a solar investment with professional aerial inspections and detailed site documentation. Drone-based solar farm inspections give a fast, safe and efficient way to assess the condition of an installation, without needing to access every panel or walk large areas of the site — across Warrington, Cheshire and the wider North West.

Request a Solar Inspection
What We Look For

HIGH-RESOLUTION
SITE INSPECTION

High-resolution aerial imagery is captured to identify and document visible issues such as damaged panels, soiling, vegetation growth, damaged mounting structures, exposed or damaged components, and signs of storm or environmental damage.

Aerial Photography

High-resolution aerial photography of the full solar array.

Visual Condition Inspection

Identification and documentation of visible panel damage.

Vegetation & Site Assessment

Vegetation growth and general site condition around the array.

Mounting & Infrastructure

Inspection of mounting structures and surrounding infrastructure.

Orthomosaic Mapping

Georeferenced mapping of the full solar farm site.

3D Site Models

Interactive 3D models of the installation for remote review.

GPS-Referenced Findings

Annotated inspection imagery tied to exact locations on site.

Before & After Surveys

Repeat surveys to monitor the outcome of maintenance work.

Detailed Reporting

FROM PHOTOGRAPHS
TO CLEAR FINDINGS

We don't just hand over photographs. Inspection findings can be organised into a clear, structured report, making it easier to identify areas requiring attention, plan maintenance and communicate findings with site owners, operators and contractors.

For larger sites, aerial mapping and 3D modelling give an accurate overview of the entire installation, so a site can be assessed without relying solely on ground-level inspection.

Why Aerial

A SAFER, MORE
EFFICIENT APPROACH

Large solar farms can cover significant ground and take considerable time to inspect manually. Aerial surveys document large sections of a site quickly, while reducing the need for personnel to access difficult or potentially hazardous areas.

No walking large panel fields Full-site coverage in one visit GPS-referenced photographic evidence Orthomosaic & 3D outputs available Reduced site-access risk
