Drone surveys for education estates. Planned around the school day.
Condition, roof, thermal and measured surveys for schools, academy trusts, colleges and universities, with no scaffolding and minimal disruption to teaching.
Built around the challenges education estates face
Schools and campuses must stay safe, dry and open, often on tight budgets.
Knowing where to spend
Limited budgets need clear condition data to target the buildings and elements that need it most.
RAAC and structural concerns
Some school buildings contain RAAC. You need to know where it is and what condition it’s in.
Surveys that fit the timetable
Scaffold on a school site is disruptive and a safeguarding consideration. Drone surveys are quick and can happen out of hours.
Flat roofs and water ingress
Large flat roofs over classrooms and halls are prone to leaks that disrupt teaching.
Heat loss and decarbonisation
Older blocks lose heat. Thermal surveys show where to invest first.
Expansion and refurbishment
New blocks and refurbishments need accurate drawings and site data.
Surveys for every part of the education estate
From a single primary school to a university campus, with one consistent method and one portal.

Education estate questions
If yours isn’t answered here, give us a call on 0345 017 5592.
Will the survey disrupt the school?
Rarely. We can survey during holidays, weekends or outside teaching hours, and agree take-off areas with the school in advance.
Do you capture images of pupils?
We plan flights to avoid capturing people and focus on roofs and building fabric. Surveys are usually done when pupils aren’t on site.
Can you survey a whole trust or campus?
Yes. We use the same method at every site and deliver everything through one portal.
Can you help with RAAC?
Yes. See our RAAC inspections page.
Have you surveyed schools before?
Yes. See our school case study, where one visit delivered six survey outputs.
