FAQs:
Are your drone pilots qualified? Yes, all our drone operators hold CAA certifications and operate in full compliance with UK aviation regulations. We have comprehensive insurance coverage.
What can drone surveys detect? Drone surveys identify roof damage, loose tiles, blocked gutters, structural cracks, water ingress, heat loss, vegetation growth, and general wear and tear.
How long does a drone survey take? Most residential property surveys take 30-60 minutes on site. Larger commercial properties may require 2-3 hours. Reports are delivered within 3-5 working days.
Can you fly drones in all weather? We require safe flying conditions – dry weather with wind speeds below 25mph. We reschedule surveys if conditions are unsuitable to ensure safety and quality.
