Professional Commercial Drone Services

CAA certification Operational Authorisation (OA) No.2565 | Operating Safety Case No.2565OSC | GVC & A2 CofC Qualified

Drone Media Imaging is a specialist UAV drone service provider, operating from the South East of the UK, but ready and able to deploy across the UK and Ireland.

We are licensed and certified with a CAA Operational Authorisation (OA) for sub 25kg category DAY and NIGHT flights.

With a background and reputation built over many decades in professional commercial photography, we re-trained and re-invested in our business back in 2015 so that we can now provide competitive aerial drone services across many industry sectors. We are also qualified and certified to provide thermal imaging data, not just in the air but also on the ground to cover solar panel inspections, flat roof, and structural water ingress/damage, and building insulation and thermal bridging analysis.

Drone Media Imaging’s pilots are CPL-uS qualified and liability insured. We adhere strictly to guidelines, procedures, planning practices, and risk assessment necessary to ensure the safety of staff, properties, and the general public, as well as to comply with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) legislation, rules and regulations.

Aerial drone photography, video and thermal imaging are not as expensive as you might think and we won’t be beaten on price for comparable service and experience!

We offer simple understandable pricing structures or can quote you specifically for your individual project requirements if you need something we have not covered. Just complete our online enquiry form which provides us with the information we need to offer you an accurate quotation.

Enhanced Operating Permissions Granted by the CAA

Drone Media Imaging has been granted enhanced drone operating permissions from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) known as an ‘Operating Safty Case‘ or OSC, which puts us in an exclusive and advanced group of drone operators.

Less than 5% of drone operators currently have such permissions in the UK. Our enhanced permissions allow us to take-off, land, and fly closer to People, Properties, Vehicles and Vessels not under our control, as well as fly above 400ft to 800ft. Standard permissions now called, Operational Authorisation PDRA-01 (previously known as Permission for Commercial Operations PfCO) that the CAA grant normal drone operators are much more restrictive.

Drone Operators with CAA OSC Permissions

Operating under an UAS-OSC for your project is just as straight forward as for any other drone flight mission. The key difference is in the onsite procedures we deploy, safety planning implemented and research completed beforehand. The cost can vary considerably when there is a need to operate under an OSC and is very dependent upon the work required. So the first thing to do is to start a conversation with us about the project, survey/inspection, filming or photography you need to be completed and we can advise you if an OSC is needed in the first place, or whether the work can be completed under standard permissions.

Seasonal Window for Building Thermography is Closing Soon

By |Tags: , , , |

As winter's chill recedes, the optimal period for building thermography is ending. This technology relies on temperature differences to detect energy inefficiencies. With spring's arrival, these disparities diminish, making it harder to identify problem areas. Act now to ensure your building's energy efficiency before the seasonal window closes.

Roof Thermography Solar Inspections: A Guide to IEC 62446-3:2017 Standards

By |Tags: , , , , |

This guide provides an in-depth understanding of commercial roof thermography solar panel inspections, focusing on the IEC 62446-3:2017 standards. It covers the importance of these inspections, the process involved, and how to interpret the results, ensuring your solar panels are efficient, safe, and compliant with international standards.

Essential Planning for Springtime Solar Panel Inspection

By |Tags: , , , , , , , |

Ensure your solar panels are spring-ready with these 5 essential steps: 1) Pre-inspection planning, 2) Drone setup and calibration, 3) Aerial thermal imaging scan, 4) Data analysis and interpretation, and 5) Post-inspection maintenance. Utilize thermal imaging drones for efficient, accurate, and safe solar panel inspections this spring.

Why It’s the Ideal Time for Solar Panel Inspections

By |Tags: , , , , |

Discover why spring is the perfect time for solar panel inspections and how it can maximize your energy efficiency and savings.

What the ‘Dew Point’ means in building thermography

By |Tags: , , , |

The dew point, a pivotal metric in weather prediction, marks the temperature at which air saturates upon cooling, impacting fog, dew, and precipitation likelihoods. Influenced by air temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, it reveals condensation thresholds, vital for understanding weather patterns and climate shifts.

Why Now is the Perfect Time for Gutter Inspections

By |Tags: , , |

Drones have revolutionized various industries, and now it's time for gutter inspections to benefit from their power. With their ability to reach inaccessible areas, drones provide a cost-effective and efficient solution. By capturing high-resolution images and videos, they enable professionals to identify gutter issues promptly, preventing potential damage. Embrace this technology now for seamless gutter maintenance.

Thermal Bridging in Commercial Buildings

By |Tags: , , |

Thermal bridging in commercial buildings allows heat to escape or enter, increasing energy consumption and utility bills. It also leads to higher operational costs, maintenance expenses, and carbon emissions. Thermal imaging helps identify hidden thermal bridges, enabling targeted strategies to enhance energy efficiency and reduce costs.

The Role of Building Thermography in Eco-Friendly Practices

By |Tags: , |

Building thermography, leveraging infrared technology, acts as a vigilant guardian for sustainability in the listed building retro fit insualtion. By capturing and visualising heat patterns, thermal imaging identifies areas of inefficiency and waste, guiding efforts to reduce a building’s carbon footprint.

We are based in Sussex, but travel throughout the UK. The price is the same, we just add on travel and accommodation if needed.
