Drone Roof & Building

Inspections

Airsuv provides high-resolution aerial inspections that help estates teams, surveyors, engineers and asset managers assess building condition quickly, safely and without disruption.
From flat-roof drainage issues to façade defects and complex multi-structure sites — we deliver clarity where it matters.

Precision imaging for commercial, industrial and heritage assets.

Clarity for the buildings that keep your organisation running.

Suitable for:

  • Logistics & distribution centres

  • Offices & corporate buildings

  • Schools, universities & healthcare buildings

  • Retail units & commercial estates

  • Warehouses & industrial sites

COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL BUILDING INSPECTIONS

Modern facilities contain critical systems that require regular visual assessment: HVAC installations, drainage routes, membranes, parapets, loading bay structures and roof penetrations.
Airsuv’s drone inspections allow teams to see issues early, plan maintenance efficiently and reduce operational risk.

AERIAL CONDITION ASSESSMENTS

We capture every element required for an accurate assessment:

  • Flat roofs, pitched roofs & complex structures

  • Drainage channels & outlets

  • Roof equipment (HVAC, plant, air handling units)

  • Skylights & roof penetrations

  • Cladding & façade elements

  • Fire exits, guttering & flashings

We identify:

  • Membrane failures

  • Standing water

  • Blocked or damaged gutters

  • HVAC corrosion or deterioration

  • Parapet cracks & movement

  • Poor drainage pathways

  • Structural inconsistencies

High-detail imaging for informed maintenance decisions.

Our aerial surveys deliver precise images that support condition reports, compliance checks and lifecycle planning.

Every project includes:

  • GVC-licensed UAV operations

  • CAA-compliant planning & risk assessment

  • Structured, inspection-ready imagery

  • Secure digital delivery

HERITAGE & TRADITIONAL BUILDINGS

Sensitive, non-intrusive inspection for older structures.

Historic structures often contain inaccessible features: chimneys, valleys, parapets and stonework that cannot be inspected safely from ground level.
Airsuv provides detailed imaging that helps caretakers, surveyors and restoration teams understand condition without risk or disturbance.

We assist with:

  • Chimney assessments

  • Valley gutters

  • Leadwork condition

  • Historic roof structures

  • Masonry, parapets & heritage restoration planning

Service Coverage

Airsuv is based near Harrogate and York, providing drone roof inspections and drone building inspections across:

  • Harrogate, York, Leeds and wider Yorkshire

  • UK-wide coverage for suitable commercial, estates and infrastructure projects

If you manage multiple buildings or an estate portfolio, inspections can be planned across several sites as part of a structured programme.

When to Consider a Drone Roof & Building Inspection

Clients typically contact Airsuv when:

  • There are signs of leaks, staining or water ingress with no safe way to inspect the roof.

  • Roof coverings are aged, unknown or approaching end-of-life.

  • There are concerns about storm damage, movement or failing details.

  • Access costs (scaffolding, MEWPs) are high and you need clarity first.

  • You’re preparing budgets, planned works or lifecycle maintenance plans.

  • You manage multiple buildings and need a consistent roof condition survey by drone.

If you’re unsure whether a drone roof inspection is appropriate for your site, we can quickly assess suitability and advise on the best approach.

✔ Roof & Building Inspection FAQs

  • A drone roof inspection can identify leaks, failed coverings, cracks, ponding water, blocked gutters, loose materials, corrosion, slipped tiles, flashing issues and general deterioration.
    High-resolution imaging lets you see defects clearly without scaffolding or access equipment.

  • Typical drone roof inspections in Yorkshire start from £300, depending on access, size, complexity and location.
    Airsuv provides a fully tailored quotation with method, compliance and deliverables included.

  • Most roofs can be safely inspected by drone—flat, pitched, high, fragile, industrial, commercial and residential.
    If the site is within safe airspace and there is clear take-off/landing access, a drone inspection is often the best choice.

  • Yes. Drones can capture façades, cladding, glazing, chimneys, parapets, gutters, soffits, vents and higher-level details that are difficult to inspect safely from the ground.

  • Yes — when carried out by a GVC-licensed, CAA-compliant pilot with proper planning.
    Airsuv completes all necessary airspace checks, risk assessments and operational planning before the inspection.

  • Yes. Drone inspections are ideal for roofs that are unsafe, fragile, steep, multi-storey, restricted, or too costly to access with scaffolding or MEWPs.
    Drones remove the risk to personnel and significantly reduce disruption.

  • In most cases, no.
    Airsuv works within your site rules, access points and operational needs, often completing inspections without stopping business activity.

  • Drones capture high-resolution, stabilised images from multiple angles, providing clarity far beyond what is visible from ground level.
    The imagery is suitable for use in surveys, defect reports, contractor quotations and insurance documentation.

  • Absolutely. Many clients book portfolio or multi-building inspections.
    We can capture each building systematically and deliver structured imagery for each asset.

  • Yes. High-resolution imagery provides neutral visual evidence for storm damage, leaks, impact damage and ageing.
    Insurers and loss adjusters use this type of imaging regularly.

  • We’ll ask for:

    • Site location

    • Building type

    • Known issues (leaks, damage, ageing)

    • Access notes (gates, yards, restrictions)

    • Preferred timeframe
      This helps us complete airspace checks and plan the safest, most effective approach.

  • Most roofs can be fully inspected in 30–60 minutes on-site, depending on complexity.
    Larger or multi-building sites may take longer, but the process remains far quicker than traditional access methods.

  • Most projects are delivered within 24–48 hours, with structured folders, labelled elevations/areas and clear, usable visuals.

  • Light wind and cloud are fine.
    Heavy rain, high winds or fog may cause rescheduling.
    Airsuv monitors weather windows to ensure safe and clear imaging.
