GET A QUOTE

Keep your business premises in top condition with commercial drone inspection services designed to provide clear, accurate visuals without disrupting day-to-day operations. Using professional drone technology, we capture detailed aerial imagery that helps identify visible issues early and supports informed maintenance and planning decisions.

This service is suitable for commercial property owners, facilities managers, landlords, and business operators who need reliable inspection data without intrusive access methods.

What commercial inspections cover

We inspect external building elements and hard-to-reach areas to document visible condition and highlight areas that may require attention.

Typical inspection areas include:

  • Roof coverings, seams and drainage points

  • Gutters, downpipes and drainage routes

  • Cladding, parapets and external elevations

  • Flat roof surfaces and edge details

  • Signs of damage, deterioration or wear

Where appropriate, internal inspections can also be carried out to support faster information gathering and reduce uncertainty.

What you receive

After the inspection, you’ll receive:

  • High-resolution aerial photographs

  • Stabilised aerial video where useful

  • Clear visuals showing roof sections, drainage and elevations

  • Files suitable for sharing with contractors, surveyors, insurers or internal teams

The service provides visual inspection data to support decision-making and planning, rather than replacing detailed repair specifications or structural surveys.
