Drone surveys across Middlesbrough and Teesside
Middlesbrough and the towns of the Tees Valley.
Middlesbrough grew fast in the Victorian era. Its terraced streets, town-centre buildings and churches sit alongside large industrial and commercial sites along the Tees, many with big roofs that are hard and costly to reach.
Across Teesside we survey for housing associations, councils, schools, landlords and industrial operators, from Stockton and Thornaby to Redcar, Guisborough and the edge of the North York Moors.

Contractors, developers, fundersConstruction progress in MiddlesbroughFlying in Middlesbrough: the airspace we plan around
Middlesbrough sits inside controlled airspace. These are the checks we make for every Middlesbrough address before we quote.
Teesside International Airport
Middlesbrough lies inside the airport’s controlled airspace, so flights need clearance from Teesside air traffic control. We arrange this before the survey date.
HMP Holme House
The prison at Stockton has restricted airspace around it. Nearby sites need extra planning.
Hartlepool power station
The power station north of the Tees has restricted airspace. Permission takes time, so we plan ahead for any work nearby.
Industrial sites
Large industrial sites along the Tees often have their own site rules and permits. We work to them and plan take-off spots with the site team.
Rail lines
Several rail lines run through Middlesbrough and Stockton. 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 Middlesbrough 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

As well as imagery and reports, we produce maps, 3D models, point clouds and internal and external scans, so surveyors can measure and report on Middlesbrough assets with fewer site visits.

Middlesbrough drone survey FAQs
Can’t find your answer? Call us on 0345 017 5592 or see all FAQs.
Do you cover all of Teesside?
Yes. As well as Middlesbrough, we survey Stockton, Thornaby, Billingham, Ingleby Barwick, Redcar, Guisborough and the rest of the Tees Valley. Send us the address and we’ll confirm.
Do you need airport clearance to fly in Middlesbrough?
Yes. Middlesbrough is inside Teesside International Airport’s controlled airspace, so we get clearance from air traffic control before the flight. We arrange this as part of planning your survey.
Can you survey industrial sites?
Yes. We work to the site’s own rules and permits, and capture large roofs, structures and plant without scaffolding or access equipment.
How quickly can you get to a site in Middlesbrough?
Middlesbrough is about 160 miles from our Liverpool head office, so we plan North East 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 Middlesbrough 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.
Do I need to be on site for the survey?
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.
