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. Clients typically instruct 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 detailed professional assessment of the property’s condition.
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.

- Why Choose Us
Why Choose Our Drone Survey Experts
When high-level or inaccessible areas require inspection, accurate and safe assessment depends on combining professional surveying expertise with appropriate aerial technology. Fitzgerald Surveying provides independent drone inspections that deliver evidence-based findings on areas that cannot be assessed from ground level alone.
Our role is to assess and report on the condition of the property. We do not promote repair products or remedial solutions as part of the survey process.
Drone technology allows surveyors to inspect roofs, elevations, and other elevated features without relying on traditional access methods, removing the need for scaffolding or specialist equipment in the majority of cases.
High-resolution imagery is reviewed and interpreted by an experienced surveyor, providing evidence-based findings and a clear visual record of the condition of the areas inspected.
We carry out inspections for homeowners, purchasers, landlords and commercial property owners across a wide range of building types.

- 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.
Drone aerial access provides detailed close-range views of tiles, slates, flashings, valleys, chimney details and rainwater goods, allowing the surveyor to assess the condition of the roof covering and identify visible defects 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.
Drone mapping supports site assessments, land measurements, and the production of spatial data outputs, including orthomosaic imagery and three-dimensional models, providing clients with an accurate and scaled record of a building or site for measurement, planning, or condition assessment purposes.
Drone technology can capture data efficiently across large or complex sites. Suitability depends on the site characteristics, airspace restrictions, weather conditions, and the type of data output 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. Drone surveys typically start from £300 for a standard residential roof or building inspection, with fees varying according to the scope and complexity of the instruction.
