Are drone surveying services legal and safe for project personnel, the environment, and compliant with aviation regulations?

Yes, our drone surveying services are fully legal and prioritise safety for both project personnel and the environment. We adhere strictly to aviation regulations and permissions, conducting thorough risk assessments and method statements before any survey.

How much does a drone survey cost in the UK?

Costs vary: £699 for commercial roof inspections, £600 for construction site surveys, and £2000 for Drone Land Surveys (LiDAR). Prices can range depending on the type and complexity of the survey

Are drone surveys accurate?

Drone survey accuracy (how close measurements are to real-world values) varies depending on factors like drone type, camera quality, and flight height. Commercial drones achieve high accuracy (within 0.5cm – 2cm), while consumer drones may be less accurate (around 5m).

Are drones good for roof inspections?

Yes, drones are highly effective for roof inspections, offering benefits such as cost efficiency, faster assessments, and improved safety. They provide detailed views of roofing systems and materials, aiding in the early detection of issues before they escalate.

How much does drone mapping service cost?

Drone surveying costs vary depending on project size, but it's generally more cost-effective than traditional methods. This is due to lower operational expenses associated with ground-based equipment.

How can drone surveying services save me time and money?

Drones reduce the need for physical manpower and can complete surveys more quickly, saving both time and money

What Is A Drone Survey

Drone surveying provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional ground-based methods. At SkyScan Surveys, we use state-of-the-art drones equipped with high-end sensors, LiDAR technology, and thermal imaging to capture accurate data, even in hard-to-reach areas.

Our adaptable drone survey approach excels in challenging conditions, including low-light environments and dense vegetation. This cutting-edge technology seamlessly integrates with advanced surveying instruments to deliver highly detailed insights of the surveyed area.

Whether you need precise mapping, land surveys, environmental monitoring, construction planning, or drone roof inspections, our drone surveys ensure accurate, reliable results.

How Drone Surveys Solve Key Challenges

Seamlessly integrate with advanced surveying technologies for enhanced accuracy.
Enable real-time data sharing and communication for faster decision-making.
Rapidly map large areas with high precision, saving time and costs.
Utilize drones of various sizes to accommodate projects of any scale.

Key Benefits of a Drone Survey

Access Hard-to-Reach Areas – Safely survey difficult or hazardous locations.
Enhance Safety – Minimize risks by reducing the need for manual inspections.
Lower Costs – Cut expenses on traffic management and access equipment.
Boost Efficiency – Capture high-quality data quickly with minimal disruption.
Assess Ageing Infrastructure – Monitor structural integrity with precision imaging.

How Accurate is Drone Survey Data?

At SkyScan Surveys, our high-quality drone surveys deliver precise and reliable data, achieving accuracies of approximately ±20mm. This level of precision makes drone surveys an excellent choice for detailed mapping, construction planning, and structural inspections.

How Drone Surveys and Roof Inspections Elevate Success

Faster Data Collection with Advanced Drone Technology

Our drones rapidly capture high-precision, geo-tagged data, significantly reducing survey times compared to traditional methods. Using cutting-edge photogrammetry and LiDAR technology, we ensure efficient data processing and deliver standardized outputs, including Point Clouds, DWG files, CAD models, Orthomosaics, 3D models, and more. This streamlined approach enhances accuracy, minimizes manual effort, and accelerates project timelines—making drone surveys an invaluable tool for construction, infrastructure, and land mapping projects.

Cost Efficiency with Drone Surveying

Drone surveying significantly reduces costs compared to traditional surveying methods. By minimizing the need for manual measurements, ground teams, and expensive equipment, drone surveys offer a more affordable alternative. Drones can cover large areas quickly and efficiently, requiring fewer resources and reducing the time spent on-site. This streamlined process not only cuts operational costs but also accelerates project timelines, making drone surveys an ideal solution for large-scale land surveys and other surveying needs.

High Precision and Accuracy with Drone Surveying

Our advanced drone technology, including RTK (Real-Time Kinematic), LiDAR, Ground Targets, and High-Resolution cameras, ensures exceptionally precise data collection. This high level of accuracy—ranging from 15mm to 50mm depending on the method used—is essential for detailed mapping, precise measurements, and in-depth analysis in surveying projects. Whether you're working on land surveys, construction planning, or infrastructure inspections, our drone surveys deliver the level of precision needed to make informed decisions and achieve optimal results.
