How it works

Our Process

  1. 1

    Survey Planning

    We discuss your requirements and assess the site. We check airspace restrictions, identify any permissions needed, and plan the flight path to capture all areas of interest.

  2. 2

    Site Preparation

    On the day, we arrive and conduct a site safety assessment. We set up exclusion zones if needed, brief any personnel, and check weather conditions are suitable for safe flight.

  3. 3

    Aerial Survey

    Our qualified pilot flies the drone to capture comprehensive 4K video footage and high-resolution still images. We cover all specified areas and can focus on any particular concerns you have identified.

  4. 4

    Image Review

    We review all captured footage and images, identifying any defects, damage, or areas of concern. We select the most relevant images to include in your report.

  5. 5

    Report Delivery

    We provide a written report with annotated images highlighting findings. You also receive all original footage and images for your records.

“We have recently utilised the guys at Integral Safety Ltd to carry out a drone roof survey of a housing development. We were impressed with the clarity and detailed schedule of images and footage. In addition, the accompanying reports clearly identify the locations of the images for reference. I’ve also been impressed with Integral's client care and quick turn around of instructions/completion of task/production of documentation and footage. We would highly recommend them.”

Questions

Drone Surveys: Your Questions Answered

Do you need permission to fly drones?

Yes, commercial drone operations require appropriate permissions. Our pilots are fully certified and we carry public liability insurance. We also obtain any necessary permissions for flights in controlled airspace or over private land.

What weather conditions are needed?

Drones cannot fly safely in strong winds (typically above 20mph), heavy rain, or poor visibility. We monitor weather conditions and will reschedule if conditions are unsuitable. Light rain or overcast conditions are usually fine.

How much does a drone survey cost?

The cost depends on the size and complexity of the structure being surveyed. Please contact us to discuss your requirements and we will provide a clear quotation.

Is a drone survey as good as a physical inspection?

Drone surveys provide excellent visual assessment and can often identify issues that would be missed from ground level. For most purposes, they provide sufficient detail for maintenance planning. However, for detailed structural assessments, a physical inspection may still be needed for specific areas identified by the drone survey.

Can you survey multiple buildings in one visit?

Yes, surveying multiple buildings in one visit is often more cost-effective. This is ideal for housing associations, property portfolios, or estates with multiple structures to inspect.
