Drone Surveys & Inspection Northampton

Drone Roof Survey Northampton & Other Drone Surveys

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 Northampton, you negate the need for scaffolding, cherry pickers, or other ways of viewing your building or construction site at height. Many of our customers are particularly interested in a drone roof survey, as the roof is generally the hardest part of a building to inspect.

As a CAA approved drone company and a Construction Line Gold accredited business, we have undertaken 1000s of drone surveys across Edinburgh and the whole of Scotland Region.

Using the most modern drone inspection 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.

Northampton

Eight miles to the northeast of the town of Towcester and 60 miles to the northwest of London, Northampton is situated in the East Midlands county of Northamptonshire. Seven miles separate the city from Buckinghamshire. The county council of Northamptonshire includes the district council of Northampton, which governs the city. It is located in the NN1 postal area.

Drone flights require planning to ensure all permissions required are applied for and secured. Our experienced pilots and admin teams work together to secure the correct permissions for each flight carried out. Whether it be an airport, sports venue, prison, hospital, National Rail exclusion zone, or any other stakeholder that requires permission to be obtained from, our backroom team can secure.

Drone Roof Survey and Chimney Inspection

A common service we provide here at Drone Site Surveys is drone roof inspection across Northampton 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 Northampton

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 onto 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.

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

Northampton City Council(s) Policies on Drone Usage

Licensing:

You may have heard some buzz about changing drone regulations. Indeed – from November 2019, it will be a legal requirement to register as a drone operator for all aircrafts over 250g. So, if you have the DJI Mavic Mini (249g – just one gram below), or any other lighter drone – you’re in luck. Otherwise, this applies for all drone flyers, regardless of whether you’re just flying recreationally.
You can register it with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), and complete an online safety test.

If you don’t and you’re still following all of the other regulations within the drone code, you may face fines of up to £1,000.

Regulations:

As a starting point of being an awesome drone flyer – have a look at the Northamptonshire Council and check out the top things to keep in mind.

The main points are :
1 always keep your drone in sight
2 Stay below 400ft (120m)
3 Every time you fly, you must follow the manufacturer’s instructions
4 Keep 150feet (50m) away from people and properties
5 You are responsible for each flight
6 Stay away from airports. With tightening regulations, the distance to stay away is now 5km.
