Drone surveys in Worcester: roof surveys for the cathedral city and Worcestershire
Drone roof surveys, building inspections, thermal surveys and measured surveys across Worcester, Malvern, Droitwich Spa and Worcestershire.
The cathedral, timber-framed and Georgian buildings, Victorian terraces and riverside property. We survey roofs and high-level details without scaffolding and deliver everything to your online portal.
Drone surveys across Worcester
The city, its suburbs and the towns of Worcestershire.
Worcester has a historic core around the cathedral, with timber-framed buildings on Friar Street and New Street, Georgian townhouses and former porcelain and glove works. Their roofs, chimneys and parapets are hard to inspect from the ground and slow to scaffold.
The River Severn floods regularly, so dated roof and building records are useful for owners and insurers in riverside areas. Beyond the centre we survey housing estates, schools, the university and business parks, and homes in Malvern, Droitwich Spa and the villages around them.

Listed or historic building? Drone surveys are ideal for heritage buildings: nothing touches the building and you get a full photographic record. See church and heritage roof surveys.

Contractors, developers, fundersConstruction progress in WorcesterFlying in Worcester: what we plan around
Worcester has no major airport nearby, but there’s still plenty to plan around. These are the checks we make for every Worcester address.
The cathedral and heritage sites
The cathedral and many buildings around it are listed. We arrange the landowner’s permission for take-off and landing as part of planning the survey.
HMP Long Lartin and HMP Hewell
The prisons near Evesham and Redditch have restricted airspace around them. Sites nearby need extra planning.
The river and the racecourse
Riverside sites can flood, and race days at Pitchcroft bring crowds. We plan survey dates and take-off spots around both.
Rail lines
Lines run through Foregate Street and Shrub Hill towards Birmingham, Hereford and London. 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 Worcester 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

Mapping and surveyor support
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 Worcester assets with fewer site visits.

We also have local pages for these nearby towns and cities. Distances are approximate, by road from Worcester.
Do you cover the rest of Worcestershire?
Yes. As well as the city, we survey Malvern, Droitwich Spa, Pershore, Evesham and towns and villages across the county. Send us the address and we’ll confirm.
Can you survey after flooding?
Yes. A drone survey is a quick, safe way to record the condition of roofs and high-level details before and after flooding, with dated images you can share with insurers.
Can you survey listed buildings near the cathedral?
Yes. A drone survey doesn’t touch the building, so it’s well suited to listed buildings and conservation areas. We arrange landowner permission and plan around visitors.
How quickly can you get to a site in Worcester?
Worcester is about 105 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 Worcester 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.
