Drone & Aerial Photography in Plymouth, Devon & Cornwall

Roof inspections, surveys and aerial photos, seen clearly and safely from above. CAA-licensed, fully insured drone photography for homeowners, property managers, surveyors and businesses.

A New Perspective That Changes Everything

A drone shows your roof, property or site from angles you simply can’t see from the ground, quickly, safely and in sharp detail.

Safety & Convenience

Inspect roofs, chimneys, solar panels and hard-to-reach structures without ladders or scaffolding. Less risk, less cost and less disruption.

Strategic Clarity

See the full picture before work begins. Drone surveys give context, scale and detail for planning, monitoring and decision-making.

Engaging Impact

Aerial photographs draw the eye and add drama to property listings, marketing and project reports. Make your visuals memorable and professional.

Your Interactive Drone Inspection Report

Every drone roof inspection and survey I fly comes with an interactive online report, included in the price.

Example report: a light industrial unit in Devon, 173 photos across 6 sections.

Instead of a folder of photos and a guessing game about where each one was taken, you get a map of your property split into lettered sections, with a marker for every photo and an arrow showing which way the camera was facing. Click one to see it up close, along with when it was taken and how high the drone was. You can also look around the whole site in a 360° view.

Each photo’s file name matches the full-size images I send you, so your roofer can find the right one in seconds. You get a private online report, a PDF copy and a zip of the full-resolution images, so you can send them straight to your roofer, surveyor, landlord or insurer.

  • See exactly where each photo was taken, section by section
  • Time, camera direction and height for every photo
  • Look around the whole property in a 360° view
  • Share one private link, or send the PDF
  • Arrives with your photos, and the online version stays up for 12 months

The report is a clear photographic record of what I could see on the day. It isn’t a structural, roofing or RICS survey, so any issues should be checked by a qualified roofer or surveyor.

Safe, Licensed, Professional

How a drone booking works, from first message to finished photos

1

Quote & Airspace Check

Tell me the address and what you need. I check the airspace, weather and access, then confirm your price, usually the same day.

2

Flight Planning & Permissions

I plan a safe flight, register it with Altitude Angel and contact air traffic control or the landowner where needed. You don’t need to arrange anything.

3

Safe, CAA-Licensed Flight

I fly under my CAA Operational Authorisation with specialist drone insurance. A roof check is usually 15–20 minutes in the air, with no ladders or scaffolding.

4

Fast Delivery

Edited, high-resolution photos within 48 hours for a Roof Check, and within 5 working days for surveys and 3D capture.
