Drone surveys across Wrexham
The city, its villages and the Dee Valley.
Wrexham became a city in 2022. Its centre has Victorian terraces, chapels and former brewery and industrial buildings, and the villages around it grew up around coal mining, with long rows of terraced housing on hillsides.
Wrexham Industrial Estate, east of the city, is one of the largest in Europe, with big warehouses and factory roofs that are quicker and safer to survey with a drone. Further south, Chirk and Llangollen have listed buildings in the Dee Valley. We work for housing associations, the council, landlords, surveyors and commercial owners.

These are the checks we make for every Wrexham address before we quote.
Hawarden Airport
Hawarden Airport, north of Wrexham towards Chester, has a Flight Restriction Zone. Sites at the northern edge of the area are checked against it.
Microlights and gliders
There’s a microlight site at Chirk and a gliding site near Llandegla, so the skies south and west of Wrexham are busier than they look. We plan around both.
Stadium and events
Match days at the Racecourse Ground and other events bring crowds. We plan survey dates and timings around them.
Rail lines
Lines run through Wrexham General towards Chester and Shrewsbury. 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 Wrexham 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

Watch the inspection live

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 Wrexham assets with fewer site visits.
Other areas near Wrexham
We also have local pages for these nearby towns and cities. Distances are approximate, by road from Wrexham.
Do you cover the villages around Wrexham?
Yes. As well as the city, we survey Gresford, Rhos, Coedpoeth, Ruabon, Chirk, Llangollen and the villages of the Dee Valley. Send us the address and we’ll confirm.
Can you survey large industrial roofs?
Yes. Large roofs are well suited to drone surveys. We capture the whole roof, rooflights and gutters in one visit, and can add a thermal survey or a 3D model.
Can you survey terraced housing across a whole street?
Yes. We can survey a row of terraces in one visit, so housing providers can see the condition of every roof and plan repairs together.
How quickly can you get to a site in Wrexham?
Wrexham is about 40 miles from our Liverpool head office, via the M53 and A483, 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 Wrexham 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.
