Drone Surveys For Commercial Buildings

We are surveyors who have ‘learned to fly’ — not ‘flyers doing roofs’.

Commercial EPCs, MEES assessments and building appraisals often require roof and façade information that simply isn’t visible from ground level. Our drone surveys give you safe, fast and accurate building data without the cost, delay or risk of scaffolding, cherry pickers or roof access.

We are qualified commercial EPC surveyors first, and drone pilots second. That means we understand:

  • What we’re looking at
  • What we’re looking for
  • Why the detail matters for EPC, MEES and improvement planning

Most drone operators can fly. Very few understand buildings. That’s the difference.

Book a Drone Survey

Arrange a drone survey or request a quotation, contact us and we’ll schedule a suitable inspection time. Whether you need a standalone drone inspection or a full Building Appraisal + Draft EPC + Improvement Report, we can help.

Why Use a Drone for Commercial EPC & Building Surveys?

✔ Safe access to roofs and high-level elements

No ladders, no working at height, no risk.

✔ Clear evidence for EPCs & general inspections.

We capture the exact details needed for accurate SBEM modelling.

✔ Faster surveys, fewer site visits

A 15 – 30 minute flight replaces hours of manual inspection. Without the risk of putting people on the roof.

✔ High-resolution roof and façade imagery

Perfect for identifying:

  • Roof materials
  • Roof condition, safety of walkways.
  • Rooflights
  • PV arrays
  • Insulation clues
  • Shading
  • HVAC plant
  • Cladding type
  • Thermal bridges (if thermal drone used)

✔ Ideal for landlords, agents and portfolio owners

We provide the evidence you need to make decisions quickly.

What We Capture During a Drone Survey

Roof Structure & Materials

  • Pitched, flat or mixed
  • Covering type
  • Condition
  • Age indicators
  • Insulation clues
  • Rooflights & glazing

HVAC & Plant

  • Air handling units
  • Heat pumps
  • VRF/VRV systems
  • Flues & chimneys
  • Thermal can reveal hot spots indicating faults in HVAC and solar PV.

Façade & Building Envelope

  • Cladding type
  • Wall construction indicators
  • Ponding to flat roofs.
  • Shading
  • Thermal bridging

Thermal Imaging (Optional)

If required, we can provide thermal imagery to identify:

  • Heat loss
  • Missing insulation
  • Cold bridges
  • Air leakage
  • Damp and moisture patterns

Our Drone Survey Workflow

1. Pre‑Survey Planning

  • Airspace check
  • Weather check
  • Site hazards
  • Risk assessment
  • Client briefing

2. On‑Site Setup

  • Establish safe take‑off zone
  • Confirm flight plan
  • Notify anyone on site

3. Aerial Survey

  • High-level roof overview
  • Close‑proximity detail passes
  • Façade imaging
  • HVAC plant inspection
  • Optional thermal scan

4. Post‑Survey Processing

  • Image review
  • Evidence selection
  • Integration into EPC or appraisal report

5. Delivery

  • High‑resolution images
  • Annotated findings (if required)
  • EPC‑ready evidence pack
