Drone surveys across Hartlepool
The town, the Headland, the Marina and the villages around them.
Hartlepool is a port town with Victorian terraces, the historic Headland, the Marina, and large industrial and commercial sites around the docks and the Tees. Salt air and North Sea wind are hard on roofs, rooflights and fixings, especially near the coast.
We survey for housing associations, schools, landlords and industrial operators across the town and the villages around it.

Flying in Hartlepool: the airspace we plan around
There are several restrictions around Hartlepool. These are the checks we make for every Hartlepool address before we quote.
Hartlepool power station
The nuclear power station near the mouth of the Tees has restricted airspace around it. Flights nearby need permission from the site and the CAA, which can take time, so we plan ahead.
Teesside International Airport
The airport’s controlled airspace comes close to the south west of the town. We check every site against it and arrange clearance where needed.
Teesmouth
Restrictions around the mouth of the Tees also cover the Teesmouth nature reserve. We plan any work nearby carefully.
Rail lines
The Durham Coast Line runs through Hartlepool. Network Rail has its own rules for drones near its property, on top of CAA rules.
Coastal weather
North Sea wind can make coastal sites exposed. We plan around the forecast and rebook if conditions aren’t safe.
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 Hartlepool 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
