Drone surveys in Coventry: roof surveys and inspections across the city
Drone roof surveys, building inspections, thermal surveys and measured surveys across Coventry, Bedworth, Kenilworth and the surrounding area.
Post-war housing, the rebuilt city centre, university buildings and industrial estates. We survey roofs and high-level details without scaffolding and deliver everything to your online portal.
Drone surveys across Coventry
The city, its suburbs and the towns around it.
Much of Coventry was rebuilt after the war, so the city has a large stock of post-war housing and flat-roofed civic and commercial buildings, alongside the cathedral ruins, older terraces and two university campuses. Many of these roofs are reaching the end of their life.
The city is also working towards net zero, which means upgrading older homes to modern insulation standards. Drone roof and thermal surveys help housing providers plan retrofit work across whole estates.

These are the checks we make for every Coventry address before we quote.
Coventry Airport
Coventry Airport at Baginton, south of the city, has restricted airspace. We check its current status and arrange permission for nearby sites.
Birmingham Airport
Birmingham Airport’s controlled airspace reaches towards the west of Coventry. Sites on that side are checked against it.
Universities and the city centre
Students, shoppers and events make parts of the city busy. We plan flight positions and timings to keep clear of the public.
Rail lines
The West Coast Main Line runs through Coventry station towards Birmingham and London. Network Rail has its own rules for drones near its property, on top of CAA rules.
Restricted doesn’t mean impossible
Restricted zones need more planning and the right permissions. They don’t stop a survey going ahead. Our pilots and office team work together to get approval for even the trickiest Coventry sites.
- Airspace checked for every address before we quote
- Permissions requested on your behalf
- Risk assessment and method statement (RAMS) for every job
- Weather planned in, including thermal survey conditions

Can you help with retrofit planning?
Yes. Drone roof and thermal surveys show the condition of roofs and where heat is being lost, so housing providers can plan insulation and retrofit work across whole estates.
Can you survey university buildings?
Yes. We survey roofs and high-level details on campus buildings without scaffolding, and can work around term times.
How quickly can you get to a site in Coventry?
Coventry is about 110 miles from our Liverpool head office, so we plan visits in advance and often group them together. We’ll give you a date when we send your quote.
How much does a drone roof survey in Coventry cost?
Our drone roof inspections start from £250 + VAT for domestic properties and £350 + VAT for commercial properties, the same as anywhere else we cover. Larger sites and portfolios are quoted individually. See our drone survey prices.

Not usually. For most surveys we only need permission to access the area we fly from. If you’d like to see the inspection, we can live-stream it so you can watch remotely and direct the pilot.
