__ Our story

Built to take the risk out of working at height

Getting eyes on a roof, a façade or a whole site used to mean scaffolding, cherry pickers and people working at height. We set out to change that.

Drone Site Surveys was founded in Liverpool in 2019. What started with drone roof surveys has grown into a full range of aerial and measured survey services, from thermal imaging and LiDAR scanning to 3D models, digital twins and multi-site programmes for some of the UK’s largest property portfolios.

We’re a fully accredited, independent surveying company. We’re not tied to any contractor or supplier, so our findings are always objective. Our job is simply to give you accurate, reliable information, delivered in a way that’s easy to use.

__ What we stand for

How we work

Four things guide every job we take on, whether it’s a single chimney or a national portfolio.

01

Safety first

Nobody at height who doesn’t need to be. Every flight is planned, risk assessed and flown by CAA approved pilots.

02

Work smarter

The right technology for the job, so you get better information in less time, for less money.

03

Independent & objective

We don’t sell repairs or work for contractors, so our findings are never influenced by who does the work.

04

Lower carbon

Fewer site visits, no scaffold deliveries and less wasted work, helping our clients reduce their carbon footprint.
