Drone surveys across Rugby
The town, its new housing and the villages and business parks around it.
Rugby is a market town with a Victorian centre, the listed buildings of Rugby School and streets of terraced housing. Their slate roofs, chimneys and parapets are hard to see from the ground and costly to scaffold.
Rugby is also surrounded by large distribution parks close to the M1 and M6, and is growing fast, with thousands of new homes at Houlton and elsewhere. We survey for housing developers, housing associations, schools, landlords, facilities managers and commercial owners.

Flying in Rugby: what we plan around
These are the checks we make for every Rugby address before we quote.
Local airfields
Coventry Airport lies about 10 miles west, and there are gliding and microlight sites in the area. We check every site against nearby airfields and arrange permission where needed.
HMP Onley
The prison near Willoughby, south east of the town, has restricted airspace around it. Nearby sites need extra planning.
Distribution parks
Large warehouse sites have vehicles moving all day. We agree take-off spots and timings with site managers to keep clear of operations.
Rail lines
The West Coast Main Line runs through Rugby station towards London, Birmingham and the North West. 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 Rugby 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
