Drone surveys on Anglesey: roof surveys across the island
Drone roof surveys, building inspections, thermal surveys and measured surveys across Anglesey, from Holyhead and Llangefni to Beaumaris and the coast.
Farm buildings, holiday lets, coastal homes and commercial units all face salt-laden wind. We capture the whole roof in one visit and deliver dated images you can act on.

Drone surveys across Anglesey
The towns, villages, farms and coast of the island.
Exposure is the defining factor on Anglesey. Sustained, salt-laden wind shortens the life of fixings, ridge bedding and flashings well ahead of the manufacturer’s figures. Slate is still the main covering on older property, and slipped and delaminating slates are the most common defect we record.
On farm and light-industrial buildings, fibre cement sheeting and its rooflights are the priority, as both are fragile and neither should be walked on. Holiday lets and second homes are a recurring case: often empty for months, with water getting in long before anyone notices. We also survey exposed commercial roofs around the port at Holyhead.

Holiday let or second home? A drone survey shows slipped slates, failed flashings and blocked gutters before water gets in, even when nobody is there to notice.

Flying on Anglesey: the airspace we plan around
These are the checks we make for every Anglesey address before we quote.
RAF Valley
RAF Valley, on the west of the island, has its own Flight Restriction Zone. Flights near the airfield need clearance, which we arrange before the survey date. We usually allow up to seven days for this.
Military low flying
Anglesey sits in an area of frequent military low flying, and RAF Mona is used as a relief airfield. We check for active restrictions before every flight.
Coastal wind
Wind is the practical constraint more often than airspace. We fly within set wind limits and will move a booking rather than fly in marginal conditions.
Holyhead port
Sites near the port and ferry terminal need extra planning and the landowner’s permission. We arrange this as part of planning the survey.
Restricted doesn’t mean impossible
Restricted zones need more planning and the right permissions. They don’t stop a survey going ahead. Our pilots and office team work together to get approval for even the trickiest Anglesey sites.
- Airspace checked for every address before we quote
- Permissions requested on your behalf
- Risk assessment and method statement (RAMS) for every job
- Weather planned in, including thermal survey conditions

We also have local pages for these nearby towns and cities. Distances are approximate, by road from Anglesey.
How quickly can you get to Anglesey?
We have strategically located pilots based near Anglesey, so we can usually get to your site quickly. For multi-building sites we schedule consecutive days to keep travel costs down. We’ll give you a date when we send your quote.
Can you survey a roof near RAF Valley?
Yes, with advance planning. Flights near the airfield need clearance, which we arrange before the survey date rather than on the day. We usually allow up to seven days to get permission.
Is wind a problem on Anglesey?
It’s the most common reason we reschedule. We fly within set wind limits and will move a booking rather than compromise image quality or safety. Rescheduling for weather is free: you only ever pay what we quote.
Can you survey farm buildings?
Yes. Fibre cement and metal sheet roofs on farm buildings are fragile and shouldn’t be walked on. A drone captures the whole roof, rooflights and gutters with nobody going up.
How much does a drone roof survey on Anglesey cost?
Our drone roof inspections start from £250 + VAT for domestic properties and £350 + VAT for commercial properties, the same as anywhere else we cover. Larger sites and portfolios are quoted individually. See our drone survey prices.
Do I need to be on site for the survey?
Not usually. For most surveys we only need permission to access the area we fly from.
