Drone Surveys & Inspection Kendal

Drone Surveys Kendal

Here at Drone Site Surveys, we enable the construction industry to work smarter by using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs/Drones) to inspect, measure and map areas without the need for time consuming and expensive equipment hire. By having a drone survey across Kendal, you negate the need for scaffolding, cherry pickers or other ways of viewing your building or construction site at height.

As a CAA approved drone company and a Construction Line Gold accredited business, we have undertaken 1000s of drone surveys across the Kendal and the wider Cumbria region.

Using the most modern drone equipment we can provide images and video of your structures at incredible heights. All of our media is in super high resolution with images and video available up to 4K. We can then back these images with a report for you and your team to understand issues that require further invasive inspection.

Kendal

Kendal is a market town 28 miles south of Penrith and 22 miles north of Lancaster. Although Kendal has no local airport restrictions it is a very popular tourist destination, being local to Windermere and bordering the Lake District National Park. Two major railway lines converge just South of Kendal at Oxenholme, running North/ South just to the east of Kendal which must be taken into consideration when planning flights around the airspace. Network Rail have their own regulations regarding drones around their property in addition to the regulations overseen by the CAA (Civil Aviation Authority).
While drone flights require greater planning and authorisation in and around restricted zones, this does not mean that we are unable to fly in these areas. Our trained pilots, alongside our experienced administrative team, will work together to gain the permissions to carry out work in the trickiest of locations!

Drone Inspections Kendal

If you don’t require a report you may just wish to inspect your site in Kendal. Our pilots can work with you or your surveyors to inspect the whole building or focus on sections most important to you. With our technology we have systems such as live streaming allowing viewing by wearing a virtual reality headset. Allowing you to attend the site and direct our pilots to inspect areas you wish. The remote streaming allows you and your team to watch the drone inspection take place. Having direct communication with the pilot you can again point us in the right direction or get a closer more detailed look at your assets.

With our drone inspections, we deliver all footage in high quality with resolutions up to 4K available. Inspecting your assets from the air using drones provides a cheaper, faster and more reliable way of inspection without the need for scaffolding, cherry pickers or other expensive equipment. Not only that, from site visit to the delivery of images can be done within a 48 hour turnaround. Our drone inspections are delivered via a secure, password secure URL for you to share with your team, suppliers or contractors that may be carrying out repairs.

Roof and Chimney Inspections

A common service we provide here at Drone Site Surveys is the inspection of roofs across Kendal to assess their condition. As part of this we will also carry out a chimney inspection We can carry this out on both domestic and commercial roofs. Whether recent storm damage has occurred and you’d like to inspect, you’re carrying out regular maintenance checks, or you are considering installing solar panels, our experienced pilots can come and carry out an aerial survey of your roof. This can be useful for both pitched and flat roofs. As well as a visual inspection, we can supply a thermal survey to inspect for any areas of significant heat loss.

Drone Mapping Kendal

Along with our surveys and inspection, we can provide in depth mapping for your site. Using high quality images, high precision GPS and photogrammetry, we can map your site so that you don’t need to visit.

This highly detailed map can help solve clarity issues along with being able to see contour lines, and accurate borders (accurate to 1cm). These can then be overlaid on to images to allow you to build up the ultimate picture of your construction site. You can even combine our drone mapping with construction site progress and time lapse video to provide you with an ultimate overview of your construction progress from start to finish.

Surveyor Support Services

As well as providing detailed reports, drone mapping, inspections and surveys we are available to be an all round surveyor support service. Our team understand your role as a survey and how to make your job on site easier.

South Lakeland District Council Policies on Drones

A person wishing to operate a drone for non-commercial or hobby purposes within the restrictions of Articles 166 and 167 does not require a specific licence or authorisation. However you must request “permission for aerial work” from the CAA if you plan to either:

Fly the aircraft on a commercial basis.
Fly a camera/surveillance fitted aircraft within congested areas or closer than the distances listed within Article 167 to people or properties (vehicles, vessels or structures) that are not under your control.

The definition of aerial work is defined as “any purpose….for which an aircraft is flown if valuable consideration is given or promised in respect of the purpose of the flight”. “Valuable consideration” is any profit or benefit you will receive which is more than of a nominal nature.
