What Is a Drone Property Survey?
A drone survey uses aerial imagery and data to inspect areas of a property that may be difficult to view from ground level. Property owners commission drone property surveys for a variety of reasons. In some cases, concerns relate to roofs, chimneys, or other high-level features. In others, clients require a closer view of a building before maintenance works, repairs, or a property purchase.
Our surveyors use drones and surveying techniques to gather information from areas that may otherwise require specialist access equipment. The images and data collected support a professional assessment of the property rather than serving as a standalone aerial record.
Fitzgerald Surveying carries out drone surveying services for a wide range of residential and commercial properties across South East England. We also undertake drone roof surveys, building inspections, and site assessments where a closer examination of external elements is required. We present our findings within a detailed report, helping clients better understand the condition of the property and any observations identified during the survey.

- FAQ
Drone Survey Questions, Answered
Clients often ask what drones can inspect, how the process works and whether the service suits a particular building or site. The answers below cover the most common questions raised before an instruction.
A drone survey uses an unmanned aerial vehicle to capture images and information from roofs, elevations, structures or land. A surveyor then reviews the material collected and reports on the areas included within the instruction.
A drone can examine roof coverings, chimneys, gutters, façades, external walls and other elevated features. It can also provide wider views of sites and surrounding land where required.
Yes. Aerial access can provide close views of tiles, slates, flashings, valleys, chimney details and rainwater goods without placing a surveyor directly on the roof.
Not in every case. A drone can inspect many difficult-to-reach areas without scaffolding, access towers or lifting equipment. Further access may still be required where defects remain concealed or repairs need to take place.
It can support site assessments, land measurements and visual models where clients need a broader record of a building or area. The required output will depend on the purpose and scope of the instruction.
They can capture information across large or difficult sites efficiently. Suitability depends on the site, surrounding restrictions, weather conditions and the type of data required.
The document may include aerial photographs, defect locations, survey observations and recommendations. Its contents will reflect the parts of the building or site included within the agreed scope.
The fee depends on the size and complexity of the site, the areas covered, and the type of output required. Contact Fitzgerald Surveying for a quotation based on the specific instructions.
