Drone Roof Surveys

Drone Survey

Drone Survey Services for Property Professionals

Unlock fast, safe, and cost-effective aerial insights with XP Surveys’ professional drone survey services. Our expert drone pilots capture high-resolution images and videos ideal for roof inspections, site overviews, and progress tracking—without the need for scaffolding, ladders, or risky manual access.

Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), we help architects, property developers, and facilities managers gain instant visual access to otherwise hard-to-reach areas. From roof condition assessments to large-scale property inspections, drone surveys provide unparalleled speed and safety over traditional methods.

Benefits of Drone Roof Surveys

  • High-Resolution Imagery: Capture crisp, detailed visuals for informed decision-making.
  • Rapid Site Assessment: Drones enable same-day roof surveys for urgent property inspections.
  • Thermal Investigations: Identify heat loss and moisture issues with aerial thermal imagery.
  • Flexible Flight Planning: Cover large or complex sites with precision.
  • Improved Safety: Eliminate the need for scaffolding or working at height.

How Much Does a Drone Survey Cost?

While drone surveys reduce costs by eliminating the need for scaffolding or cherry pickers, prices vary depending on project complexity and location.

Typical costs:

  • Small roof survey: from £200+VAT
  • Large commercial inspections: up to £800+VAT or more

Key cost factors include:

  • Type of imagery (standard vs thermal)
  • Size and complexity of the site
  • Travel distance for the drone operator
  • CAA licensing and operator expertise
  • Data processing and delivery format

XP Surveys ensures all surveys are carried out by qualified, insured pilots using CAA-compliant equipment for safe and legal operations.
