Drone Surveys and Roof Inspection Services you can Trust
At Drone Site Surveys, domestic and commercial roof inspections are core to what we do. Before any flight takes place, we first assess what permissions are required. Thanks to our CAA operational authorisation, we are typically cleared to operate without further approvals, and to date, we have never been denied permission to carry out a roof inspection anywhere in the UK.

Sectors we work in
Our experience spans a wide range of sectors. We’ve conducted roof and structural inspections for many surveying and building companies, NHS facilities, Ministry of Defence (MOD) buildings, Rail infrastructure, local councils, housing associations, and private sector clients.
In addition to domestic and commercial roof inspections, our team regularly inspects tower block facades, railway stations, hospitals, wind turbines, and cell towers, demonstrating our capability in handling both routine and complex structures.
Every inspection we carry out includes
Full Permissions and Compliance – we seek and secure all necessary permissions. Our flights are fully compliant with UK aviation laws and local authority regulations.
Pre-Flight Documentation: Prior to every drone flight, we provide pre-flight paperwork, including Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS), ensuring complete transparency and safety.
Comprehensive Insurance: We are fully insured with cover of up to £10 million for public liability, giving you peace of mind that all operations are protected. We also carry Professional Indemnity Insurance for further reassurance.
Secure Image Delivery: All imagery, data, and reports are delivered via our secure online portal, allowing you easy and protected access to your inspection results.
Attention to Detail: Our pilots are trained not to make assumptions. Instead, they are trained to capture every visible detail, ensuring nothing is missed or overlooked during the inspection.
To further support your maintenance decisions, we also offer optional written condition reports prepared by our qualified roofing surveyors. These detailed assessments provide professional insight into any issues identified during the survey, helping you understand your roof’s condition with absolute clarity.
3D Model created by drones
We provide geo-located 3D models of buildings and land that offer a highly accurate visual overview of your projects. The models allow you to take measurements such as distance, area, and angles, extract coordinates, and view detailed imagery – all within our custom-built viewer. You’ll receive access to the model viewer and its features, along with the model images, point cloud files, ground control points, and drone documentation. Happy to provide examples if required.
Benefits of Drone Surveying in Construction
There are many benefits that drone surveying bring to the construction industry, however, the absolute number one must be safety. Inspecting at height is so much safer, easier, quicker, and cost-effective with drones while also mitigating the risk for onsite operatives.
As well as taking high resolution images for analysis, drones can also collect data and measurements.
From the data collected, you can extrapolate Thermal Imaging, 3D Models, Topographic Surveys, Volumetric and Stockpile Data, Digital Surface and Elevation models and so much more.
Independent Roof Surveys
At Drone Site Surveys, we pride ourselves on our independence. We are not tied to any contractors or suppliers, meaning our findings are always objective and solely in your best interest. From start to finish, our service is built around keeping you compliant, informed, and in control. Your peace of mind is our priority, and our commitment to quality, safety, and transparency is what sets us apart.
Which Drone is Best for Surveying?
We have a squadron of drones to carry out any survey or inspection. Our experienced pilots understand the peculiarities and nuances of what each drone is capable of and choose the right one from our fleet to deliver the best outcome for your project.
We have drones that are best suited to roof inspections, thermal investigations, aerial mapping, creating 3D models for measurements or even marketing shots!
#DronesforGood
Here at Drone Site Surveys, we believe that drone services will soon be commonplace for routine, and more complex tasks. The way we help to bring this about is to develop safer, faster, cheaper and more innovative uses of drones.
We are already seeing a shift in basic roof inspections, away from scaffolding, cherry pickers, road permits and lane closures etc. when a drone in normal circumstances can be airborne and have collected the imagery or data for an inspection before you have the quotes for scaffolding back.
At Drone Site Surveys we are constantly looking how drones can improve our day to day lives whilst being safer and reduce instances of inspecting and working at height.
If you have a construction project that you think could be improved by use of drones, but you can’t find anyone to help, then get in touch with us and we will do our best to help.
