Drone surveys across Skegness and the coast
The town, the seafront and the resorts and villages along the coast.
Skegness is one of the busiest seaside resorts in the country. Salt air and North Sea winds wear roofs, flashings and gutters faster than inland, and the seafront has many flat-roofed and older buildings that are hard to reach.
Along the coast, holiday parks and caravan sites have dozens of buildings, many with fibre cement sheet roofs that nobody should walk on. A drone records them all in one visit. We survey for park operators, hotels, landlords, the council and homeowners.

Flying in Skegness: what we plan around
These are the checks we make for every Skegness address before we quote.
Skegness Airfield
The small airfield north of the town is used by light aircraft and pleasure flights. We check every site against it and plan around its traffic.
Military flying
Lincolnshire is busy with military aircraft from RAF Coningsby, and there are air weapons ranges over The Wash. We check for active restrictions before every flight.
Seafront and summer crowds
The beach, the seafront and events get very busy in summer. We plan take-off spots and timings to keep clear of the public, and often fly early or out of season.
Rail lines
The line from Skegness runs inland towards Boston and Nottingham. 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 Skegness 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

Our drones fly safely in moderate wind, but strong gusts off the sea can stop a flight. We watch the forecast and move the date if we need to, at no extra cost.
