Engineering Drone Inspections
There are a lot of multi-storey terraced buildings on the old streets of York, many of which require roof repairs from time to time. This particular roof was on the ancient street of Micklegate on a building that’s separated into flats or apartments. Some of the flats on one side were seeing water leaking down […]
Some of our work with drones and various other types of cameras involves visiting construction sites and building projects on a monthly basis to document progress.

Using drones and camera poles to inspect and survey factory and commercial roofing is probably in our top 5 most undertaken work, and for obvious reasons. It’s very easy to use a drone to photograph and video every inch of a roof and guttering, plus all the details such as chimneys and top hats, flues […]
