Drone surveys across Coventry
The city, its suburbs and the towns around it.
Much of Coventry was rebuilt after the war, so the city has a large stock of post-war housing and flat-roofed civic and commercial buildings, alongside the cathedral ruins, older terraces and two university campuses. Many of these roofs are reaching the end of their life.
The city is also working towards net zero, which means upgrading older homes to modern insulation standards. Drone roof and thermal surveys help housing providers plan retrofit work across whole estates.

Planning retrofit work? A drone roof survey plus a thermal survey shows the condition of roofs and where heat is being lost, across a whole estate.

Flying in Coventry: what we plan around
These are the checks we make for every Coventry address before we quote.
Coventry Airport
Coventry Airport at Baginton, south of the city, has restricted airspace. We check its current status and arrange permission for nearby sites.
Birmingham Airport
Birmingham Airport’s controlled airspace reaches towards the west of Coventry. Sites on that side are checked against it.
Universities and the city centre
Students, shoppers and events make parts of the city busy. We plan flight positions and timings to keep clear of the public.
Rail lines
The West Coast Main Line runs through Coventry station towards Birmingham and London. Network Rail has its own rules for drones near its property, on top of CAA rules.
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 Coventry 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
