About the service in Northampton
Commercial drone roof inspections across Northampton
We are based in Northampton and work with facilities managers, property owners, managing agents and building surveyors across the town's industrial estates and commercial districts. A drone inspection gives you a full external picture of the roof, cladding and rainwater goods in a single site visit — no scaffolding, no MEWPs and minimal disruption to the business below.
Typical projects include warehouse and distribution units on Brackmills Industrial Estate, office and light-industrial buildings around Moulton Park, and mixed-use commercial premises across Swan Valley and the wider Northampton area — covering metal, membrane, built-up felt and green roofs, plus cladding and rooflights.
For repeat inspections across a portfolio of buildings we can set up scheduled visits and consistent report templates for your facilities team.

Why a drone inspection
Faster, safer and more detailed than climbing the roof
Fast
Most inspections are booked within a few days, flown in 20–40 minutes and reported within 24–48 hours.
No scaffolding
No £400–£800+ scaffolding hire and no need to disturb the property to check the roof.
High-detail evidence
100 MP imagery and close-ups (where safe/legal) that a ground-level survey simply can't produce.
