Drone surveys in Doncaster: roof surveys and inspections across Doncaster
Drone roof surveys, building inspections, thermal surveys and measured surveys across Doncaster and the surrounding towns and villages.
From town-centre buildings and terraced streets to large warehouses and distribution sites near the motorways, we survey roofs and high-level details without scaffolding.
Drone surveys across Doncaster
The town, the former mining villages and the logistics sites around them.
Doncaster mixes Victorian terraces and town-centre buildings with former mining villages, post-war estates and some of the region’s largest warehouses and distribution sites around the M18 and A1(M). Large commercial roofs are quick to survey by drone, with no disruption to operations below.
We survey for housing associations, the council, schools, landlords and logistics operators across the borough, from Thorne and Armthorpe to Mexborough and Tickhill.

These are the checks we make for every Doncaster address before we quote.
Doncaster Sheffield Airport
The airport south east of the town closed to commercial flights in 2022, and plans to reopen it are under way. We check the current airspace for every Doncaster address and arrange any permission needed.
Prisons
HMP Doncaster, near the town centre, and the prisons at Hatfield Woodhouse to the east all have restricted airspace around them. Nearby sites need extra planning.
Rossington gas venting station
The gas venting station at Rossington is an area of increased risk for drone flights. We plan any work nearby carefully.
Potteric Carr nature reserve
The nature reserve south of the town centre is planned around so we don’t disturb wildlife.
East Coast Main Line
Doncaster is a major rail junction on the East Coast Main Line. 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 Doncaster 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

Is Doncaster Sheffield Airport still a restriction?
The airport closed to commercial flights in 2022 and plans to reopen it are under way. We check the current airspace for your address before we quote, so you’ll know about any restrictions up front.
Can you survey large warehouse roofs?
Yes. Drone surveys are ideal for large commercial and distribution roofs. We capture the whole roof in one visit, with no access equipment and no disruption to operations below.
How quickly can you get to a site in Doncaster?
Doncaster is about 95 miles from our Liverpool head office, across the M62, so it’s straightforward for us to reach. Timing depends on the permissions your site needs and the weather. We’ll give you a date when we send your quote.

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.
