Sky Audit Drones
Sky Audit Drones delivers safe, efficient and cost-effective aerial inspections across Birmingham, the West Midlands and the wider UK by arrangement. We help building owners, facilities managers, surveyors, roofers and insurers see the detail that matters, without scaffolding, cherry pickers or working at height. Our core services include roof condition surveys, building façade inspections, gutter and parapet checks, site progression updates and asset documentation for residential, commercial and industrial properties.
Every project starts with a simple brief. Tell us what you need to see (for example: suspected water ingress, cracked tiles, slipped lead flashing, vegetation in gutters, damaged skylights or PV issues) and we’ll plan a targeted flight to capture the right evidence. We produce high-resolution photography and stabilised video (up to 4K), with nadir and oblique angles to reveal defects that ground photography can miss. Where helpful, we annotate images, group findings by elevation/area, and supply a concise summary you can share with stakeholders or trades.
Safety and compliance sit at the heart of how we work. We complete pre-flight planning, airspace and hazards checks, risk assessments and method statements (RAMS), and operate to UK rules for unmanned aircraft. Jobs are scheduled around weather windows to maximise image quality and minimise disruption onsite. On the day, we set clear cordons, liaise with site contacts and keep launches brief and tidy—so your operations keep moving while we capture the data you need.
Typical use cases we support:
- Roof surveys: pitched, flat and complex roofs; membranes, leadwork, flashings, chimneys and rooflights.
- Insurance & loss adjusting: quick visual evidence after storms, leaks or impact damage.
- Property & FM: routine inspections, dilapidations and planned maintenance.
- Construction & development: progress updates and handover visuals for reports and client communications.
- Estate and marketing imagery: clean, well-composed exterior visuals that present assets at their best.
Turnarounds are fast; urgent call-outs are available when access platforms are delayed or unsafe. If you require specialist equipment or additional pilot coverage, we can resource that via white-label subcontracting while keeping a single point of contact and consistent presentation.
Why clients choose Audit Drones:
- Clarity: crisp imagery and succinct notes that make decisions easier.
- Speed: rapid mobilisation and quick delivery to keep projects moving.
- Value: targeted flights focus on the areas that matter, reducing access costs.
- Professionalism: polite, tidy operations and clear communication before, during and after each job.
Based in Birmingham, we cover the West Midlands as standard and travel further for multi-site portfolios or time-sensitive work. If you’re comparing options, feel free to share a short brief and postcode—we’ll confirm feasibility, outline likely flight time, and propose a deliverables pack that fits your goal and budget.
