Safe, Efficient, and High Resolution Aerial Inspections
Our Drone Surveying services enhance traditional surveying methods by using UAV technology to capture high resolution aerial imagery across your estate.
This approach provides a new perspective, enabling the inspection and identification of building issues safely from the ground. Our CAA-certified drone pilots deliver a combination of safety, speed, and accuracy, reducing the need for costly access equipment or disruptive on site procedures.
Each survey includes a detailed analysis of imagery, with annotated reports highlighting faults, areas of concern, and potential future issues – providing a proactive approach to asset management.

Aerial Insights Across Your Estate
We combine UAV technology with technical surveying expertise to capture detailed aset and building information safely, efficiently and with minimal disruption to operational environments.
Aerial Asset Surveys
High-resolution imagery of buildings, roofs, façades and assets, providing detailed visual information to support condition assessment and informed decision-making.
Defect Identification
Detailed aerial inspection and image capture to identify visible defects, deterioration and areas of concern that may be difficult to assess from ground level.
Safe Access Solutions
Drone surveys reduce the requirement for working at height and specialist access equipment, providing a safer and less disruptive approach to inspecting difficult-to-reach areas.
Survey Data & Reporting
Structured imagery, observations and survey outputs that provide a clear record of asset condition and can support wider condition, maintenance and lifecycle planning.

Why Choose Asset Performance
Our drone survey provide a safer, faster way to inspect difficult-to-access assets and building areas.
Structured Data • Portfolio Visibility • Lifecycle Intelligence • Decision Support
Our UAV surveys deliver high-resolution imagery for safety and efficiency. These surveys feed directly into 3D Precision Reality models, Condition Surveys, and Lifecycle Planning for a complete understanding of your estate.
Drone data can also enhance Compliance Solutions and Energy Management & Audit, helping clients identify issues and optimise performance from the air.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ's
Common questions around our approach, data, and delivery. If you don’t find what you’re looking for, our team is always available to help.
What can be inspected using a drone survey?
Drone surveys can be used to inspect roofs, façades, external building elements and other assets that are difficult or inefficient to access using traditional methods. The exact scope can be tailored to the building, estate and survey objectives.
What are the benefits of drone surveying?
Drone surveying provides a safe and efficient way to inspect difficult-to-access areas while reducing the need for scaffolding, access platforms and working at height. Surveys can also be completed with minimal disruption to operational sites.
What information does a drone survey capture?
High-resolution imagery can be used to record asset condition, visible defects, deterioration and other areas of concern. This provides a detailed visual record that can support further technical assessment and decision-making.
Can drone surveys support building condition assessments?
Yes. Drone imagery can complement wider asset and building condition surveys by providing detailed information on roofs, façades and inaccessible external areas, helping create a more complete understanding of building condition.
How can drone survey data support maintenance and lifecycle planning?
Drone survey findings can help identify defects and areas requiring attention, providing evidence to support maintenance priorities, condition monitoring and future investment. The information can also contribute to wider lifecycle and capital planning.
