About NI Drone Surveys

Drone survey specialists, on your side

We exist to put eyes on the parts of a building that are expensive and disruptive to reach, and to hand the findings to the people who need them: owners, buyers, landlords and surveyors across Northern Ireland.

A specialist, a camera and a written answer

  • Flown by licensed pilots

    Every survey is flown under Civil Aviation Authority rules for commercial drone work, by pilots who plan each flight around the property, the airspace and the weather.

  • The whole roof, not a sample

    A camera drone covers every elevation, ridge, chimney and gutter run in one visit, so findings rest on the full picture rather than the parts a ladder could reach.

  • A report you can use

    Findings arrive in writing with the imagery attached, sorted into what is sound, what needs watching and what needs action, ready to share with a builder, a surveyor or an insurer.

  • Days, not weeks

    Because nothing touches the building, a survey can usually be flown within days of your enquiry, and the written report follows shortly after.

Why a pilot familiar with Northern Ireland helps

A specialist used to Northern Ireland knows the coastal wind, local airspace limits and common roof styles, so the flight plan suits the building.

  • No scaffolding needed

  • High-resolution imagery

  • Pilots flown to CAA rules

  • Reports in plain English

Book your aerial survey

Send the address and what you want seen from above. A local specialist will confirm the details, fly the site and send you the findings.

Working with surveyors, lenders and insurers

Where a purchase, remortgage or insurance claim depends on the condition of a roof, the specialist provides the imagery and written report in the format surveyors and claims handlers expect, and stays available to answer questions about what the imagery shows.

From first message to aerial images

  1. 1

    Enquiry and scoping

    You describe the property and what prompted the request. A specialist confirms that a drone survey is the right tool and what the flight costs.

  2. 2

    Flight planning

    The pilot checks airspace, weather windows and access around the property, and agrees a survey time with you.

  3. 3

    The survey flight

    The roof, roofline, chimneys and gutters are photographed and filmed from every angle in a single visit, usually over within a couple of hours.

How it works

How we can help

Every survey follows the same honest order: plan the flight around the property and the weather, capture the roof and roofline from every angle the law and the sky allow, then report what was found in writing, with the imagery attached.
