Drone surveys across Milton Keynes
The new city, its older towns and the villages around it.
Much of Milton Keynes was built in the 1970s and 80s, so the city has large estates of homes from that time, many with flat roofs and concrete tiles that are now reaching the end of their life. Housing providers use drone surveys to plan replacement work across whole estates.
The city also has offices in Central Milton Keynes, some of the largest warehouses in the country near the M1, and older towns such as Bletchley, Wolverton, Stony Stratford and Olney with period and listed buildings. We work for housing associations, the council, facilities managers, landlords and commercial owners.

Contractors, developers, fundersConstruction progress in Milton KeynesFlying in Milton Keynes: what we plan around
These are the checks we make for every Milton Keynes address before we quote.
Cranfield Airport
Cranfield Airport, east of the city, has protected airspace around it. Sites on that side of Milton Keynes need permission, which we arrange.
HMP Woodhill
The prison in the south of the city has restricted airspace around it. Nearby sites need extra planning.
Shopping centres and events
Central Milton Keynes, the stadium and big events bring crowds. We plan take-off spots and timings to keep clear of the public.
Rail lines
The West Coast Main Line runs through Milton Keynes Central, Bletchley and Wolverton. 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 Milton Keynes 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

Milton Keynes drone survey FAQs
Can’t find your answer? Call us on 0345 017 5592 or see all FAQs.
Do you cover the area around Milton Keynes?
Yes. As well as the city, we survey Newport Pagnell, Olney, Woburn Sands, Buckingham and the villages of north Buckinghamshire. Send us the address and we’ll confirm.
Can you survey flat roofs on 1970s housing?
Yes. A drone survey shows ponding, splits, failed flashings and blocked outlets across a whole estate, so you can plan which roofs to replace first.
Can you survey large warehouses?
Yes. Large roofs are well suited to drone surveys. We capture the whole roof, rooflights and gutters in one visit, with nobody walking on fragile coverings.
How quickly can you get to a site in Milton Keynes?
Milton Keynes is about 150 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 Milton Keynes 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.
