Today was a strange day weather wise as you can see from the photos above. We started working with a backdrop of sparkling blue skies and ended with a vista of dark clouds.  In fact, as drones are so weather sensitive, we have excellent weather forecasting information that we can draw on and we knew that we would only have a short weather window in which to capture our photos and videos today.

A bird's eye view of a construction site or project can be a huge advantage at all stages of development, from before construction begins to surveying the finished product and how it sits within its environment.  Drones offer a fast and easy way to accomplish this with minimal interruption on site and at a fraction of the cost of traditional piloted aerial methods. From survey the land at the start of the project, drone photography and videography can provide [...]

Roof Inspections with Drone – New Reporting Technology

2025-02-18T14:09:30+00:00February 3, 2018|Categories: All, Featured|

We're very excited about some new technology that we have access to that looks to solve the problems of roof inspection and damage assessment from the safety of the ground and using drones or unmanned aerial vehicles. This new software makes it even easier and quicker to capture the imagery needed with automated flight planning to account for the necessary image overlapping but also to maximise flight efficiency. The images are then compiled into a comprehensive roof report with [...]

Thermal Roof Inspections in Sussex with Drone Media Imaging

2025-02-15T01:09:54+00:00January 12, 2018|Categories: Archive|

Rooftops are one of the areas of a property that receive the most stress from the elements but also they are one of the hardest areas to inspect. They aren't typically designed to be walked upon and so regular inspection 'on foot' can actually cause or exacerbate problems but their is expense and downtime involved with hiring cherry pickers or erecting scaffolding to enable 'non-contact' inspection. All of this means that inspections are carried out less frequently which [...]

Well it's no secret that the UK weather can be unpredictable and, although we suffer less here in Sussex, Surrey and Kent than the more Northern areas, there have been some pretty strong storms recently that have caused a fair amount of property damage. When it comes to assessing this damage and working out the cost of repairs, rooftops can be one of the hardest areas to inspect but of course this is one of the most likely [...]
