Drone surveys across Doncaster
The town, the former mining villages and the logistics sites around them.
Doncaster mixes Victorian terraces and town-centre buildings with former mining villages, post-war estates and some of the region’s largest warehouses and distribution sites around the M18 and A1(M). Large commercial roofs are quick to survey by drone, with no disruption to operations below.
We survey for housing associations, the council, schools, landlords and logistics operators across the borough, from Thorne and Armthorpe to Mexborough and Tickhill.

Flying in Doncaster: what we plan around
These are the checks we make for every Doncaster address before we quote.
Doncaster Sheffield Airport
The airport south east of the town closed to commercial flights in 2022, and plans to reopen it are under way. We check the current airspace for every Doncaster address and arrange any permission needed.
Prisons
HMP Doncaster, near the town centre, and the prisons at Hatfield Woodhouse to the east all have restricted airspace around them. Nearby sites need extra planning.
Rossington gas venting station
The gas venting station at Rossington is an area of increased risk for drone flights. We plan any work nearby carefully.
Potteric Carr nature reserve
The nature reserve south of the town centre is planned around so we don’t disturb wildlife.
East Coast Main Line
Doncaster is a major rail junction on the East Coast Main Line. 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 Doncaster 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

Is Doncaster Sheffield Airport still a restriction?
The airport closed to commercial flights in 2022 and plans to reopen it are under way. We check the current airspace for your address before we quote, so you’ll know about any restrictions up front.
