Drone surveys in North Wales: roof surveys from the coast to Snowdonia
Drone roof surveys, building inspections, thermal surveys and measured surveys across North Wales, from Llandudno, Rhyl and Bangor to Snowdonia and Deeside.
Seafront hotels, holiday parks, stone and slate cottages, castles and industrial sites. We survey roofs and high-level details without scaffolding and deliver everything to your online portal.
Drone surveys across North Wales
The coast, the mountains and the towns of North Wales.
Along the coast, Llandudno, Colwyn Bay, Rhyl and Prestatyn have Victorian seafront hotels, guest houses and holiday parks that take the full force of the weather off the Irish Sea. Inland, slate-quarrying towns and stone cottages in Snowdonia sit on steep sites where scaffolding is slow and costly.
We also survey listed buildings in Conwy, Caernarfon and Bangor, schools and university buildings, and industrial sites along Deeside. We work for housing associations, councils, hotel and park operators, landlords, surveyors and commercial owners.

Contractors, developers, fundersConstruction progress in North WalesFlying in North Wales: the airspace we plan around
These are the checks we make for every North Wales address before we quote.
Hawarden Airport
Hawarden Airport, at the Airbus site near Chester, has a Flight Restriction Zone over parts of Deeside. Sites nearby need permission, which we arrange.
Caernarfon and RAF Valley
Caernarfon Airport has its own restricted airspace, and military jets from RAF Valley train across the region. We check for active restrictions before every flight.
Mountains and leisure flying
Gliders, microlights and mountain rescue helicopters all fly around Snowdonia. Weather in the mountains changes quickly, so we plan flights carefully and keep dates flexible.
Rail lines
The North Wales Coast Line runs along the coast from Chester to Holyhead. 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 North Wales sites.
- Airspace checked for every address before we quote
- Permissions requested on your behalf
- Risk assessment and method statement (RAMS) for every job

North Wales drone survey FAQs
Can’t find your answer? Call us on 0345 017 5592 or see all FAQs.
Which parts of North Wales do you cover?
All of it, from Deeside and Wrexham along the coast to Llandudno, Bangor and Anglesey, and inland across Snowdonia. Send us the address and we’ll confirm.
Can you survey holiday parks and hotels?
Yes. We capture every roof on the site in one visit and deliver the images in your online portal, so you can plan repairs across the whole site. We can work out of season to avoid guests.
Can you survey properties in Snowdonia?
Yes. Steep and remote sites are where drones save the most. We fly from a safe spot nearby and plan around the weather and other air users.
How quickly can you get to a site in North Wales?
North Wales is about 45 miles from our Liverpool head office, along the A55, 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.
How much does a drone roof survey in North Wales 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.
