Practical flight questions.
Which local areas do you cover?
Drone surveying is available throughout Bristol and South Gloucestershire, including Bradley Stoke, Southmead and Filton, subject to site-specific airspace, access, weather, privacy and safety checks. Wider projects across South West England and South Wales are considered individually.
Can you fly in poor weather?
Rain, strong wind, low visibility and unsafe site conditions can prevent useful or lawful capture. If conditions are unsuitable, the visit is rearranged.
Can a drone survey replace a structural survey?
No. It provides high-quality visual evidence of accessible surfaces from the air. Structural diagnosis, intrusive investigation or specialist design may still be needed.
What files will I receive?
That depends on the service: labelled photographs and observations, edited video, or agreed photogrammetry outputs. The quotation confirms formats and delivery.
Plan the capture
Request a drone survey quote
Send the property address, a brief description of the site and what you want the survey to investigate. Include photographs or existing plans if available, and tell us whether you need imagery, an inspection report or another agreed output.
