Fast, accurate and detailed drone surveys. using cutting-edge technology and a modern approach.
At PM+, we use advanced drone technology to deliver high-quality aerial surveys for residential and commercial properties across the UK.
Our Drone Survey Services provide a modern, efficient alternative to traditional inspections, allowing us to assess hard-to-reach areas quickly, safely, and without disruption.
From roof condition surveys and thermal imaging to 3D mapping and modelling, drone surveys give property owners, landlords, and housing providers the data they need to make informed decisions, without the cost, risk, or delays associated with scaffolding or access equipment.
Drone surveys are transforming the way properties are inspected and assessed. They are particularly effective where access is difficult, unsafe, or expensive.
Key benefits include:
Our drones carry out detailed roof inspections without the need for intrusive access methods. Using high-resolution imagery, we’ll conduct a clear roof condition report, and identify issues such as:
Missing or damaged tiles
Deteriorating roof coverings
Flashing defects & water ingress risks
Structural concerns
Thermal drone surveys are widely used by housing providers and commercial landlords to detect issues not visible to the naked eye. This is particularly valuable for:
Identifying heat loss and insulation gaps
Detecting moisture intrusion and hidden leaks
Supporting damp & mould investigations
Assessing energy efficiency performance
3D drone mapping provides a comprehensive view of your property, using advanced photogrammetry to produce accurate 3D models and maps of buildings and sites. These are ideal for:
Refurbishment and redevelopment planning
Asset management and lifecycle modelling
Site analysis and feasibility studies
Visualising complex structures or roof layouts
Drone surveys allow us to inspect areas that would otherwise require working at height or specialist access equipment. This makes them particularly suitable for:
Our reports are designed to support maintenance planning, procurement, compliance, and investment decisions.
Depending on your requirements, reports may include:
Disrepair surveys assess the condition of a property where defects, deterioration or complaints have been raised, providing documented evidence to support decision-making, complaint handling and remediation planning.
Our Scoping Survey Service provides a comprehensive assessment of roofs, residential, and commercial properties, ensuring you have the crucial insights needed to plan your projects with confidence.
Damp & mould surveys help landlords understand whether issues are caused by condensation, building defects or environmental factors, and support compliance with UK housing standards such as Awaab’s Law.
Whether you’re managing a single building or an entire portfolio, drone surveys provide reliable data without unnecessary cost or disruption.
Our drone survey services are commonly used by:
At PM+, our drone surveys are delivered by experienced surveyors who understand how aerial data fits into wider building assessment, compliance, and asset management. We interpret findings in the context of building performance, risk, and next steps, ensuring our outputs are practical and decision-ready.
Our team works extensively across residential, commercial, and social housing portfolios, meaning our reports are tailored to real-world use cases such as maintenance planning, remedial works, compliance evidence, and investment decisions. By combining advanced drone technology with professional surveying expertise, we provide fast, safe, and reliable insights you can act on with confidence.
A drone survey uses unmanned aerial vehicles to capture high-resolution visual and thermal data of buildings or sites. It allows surveyors to inspect roofs, façades, and other hard-to-reach areas safely and efficiently, without the need for scaffolding or working at height.
Yes. Drone surveys are particularly effective for residential blocks, housing estates, and social housing stock where access can be difficult or disruptive. They allow landlords and housing providers to assess roof condition, defects, and thermal performance quickly while minimising disruption to occupants.
Drone surveys — particularly those using thermal imaging — can help identify indicators of moisture intrusion, heat loss, and insulation defects that may contribute to damp or mould. While they do not replace internal inspections, they are a valuable tool for pinpointing problem areas and guiding further investigation.
In most cases, planning permission is not required. However, drone operations must comply with UK aviation regulations and site-specific restrictions. PM+ manages all operational considerations, ensuring surveys are carried out safely, legally, and with minimal disruption.
You will receive a clear, actionable report tailored to your needs. This may include high-resolution images, annotated defect photographs, thermal analysis, 3D models, and professional commentary outlining findings and recommended next steps.
If you need a roof inspection, thermal imaging survey, or 3D property mapping, our drone survey services provide a fast, safe, and cost-effective solution.
