Drone Inspection - Derby Chesterfield Nottingham Midlands


Drone Inspections - What you need to know

We take a logical approach to drone inspections. Once we have completed the pre-site survey, risk assessments and made sure it is safe to fly we can proceed with the inspection. We have over 90 mins of flight time and a high resolution camera. We do a thorough job making sure every inch is covered with key areas receiving more detail / close up images. present information to you.

We ensure that information is presented to you in a clear and accessible way, that makes sense.

Typically we photograph the structure in it’s entirety, then divide it into sections. 

Each section will be in a separate folder and will  contain a photograph of the entire section so it can be identified in relation to over all structure.  There will be close up details shots from that section.

A drone inspection is quick, safe and cost effective.

Health and Safety Implications

Drone inspections improve health and safety and are considered good practice

• Over the last five years, there were on average 36 worker fatalities and five fatalities of, members of the public per year, in the construction industry

• 49% of deaths over this period were due to falls from height

The number one action in the hierarchy of risk reduction for working at heights is to avoid working at heights

Working on roofs poses many risks; fragile structures, roof light panels, deterioration of materials, unprotected edges and unstable or poorly maintained access equipment, not to mention the risk of falling material.

Drone inspections reduce the number of worker hours on roofs and at heights

Piece of Mind

All images will be referenced and labeled and accompanied by a report document to identify locations and use as part of your maintenance program and records.
