Drone surveys and inspections across Essex
Roof and building inspections, aerial surveys, asset inspections and thermal imaging in Grays, Basildon, Billericay, Wickford and across Essex.
We cover south and west Essex, from Grays and Basildon along the Thames to Brentwood, Chelmsford, Southend, Harlow and Epping.
Thurrock’s ports and distribution centres, the business parks around Basildon and Chelmsford, and the county’s schools and housing all have roofs and structures that are faster and safer to inspect from the air.

Drone work in Essex
Ports and distribution
Large distribution centres in Thurrock and along the A13 have huge roofs. A drone survey records them completely in one visit.
Business parks
Office and industrial estates around Basildon, Chelmsford and Harlow use roof surveys to plan maintenance and verify contractors’ work.
Coastal and estuary sites
Buildings and structures near the Thames estuary and the coast at Southend face strong winds. Regular surveys catch storm damage early.
Land and development
Development sites across the county benefit from aerial mapping and progress records at each stage.
Airspace in Essex
London Southend Airport, by Rochford, and London Stansted Airport, north of Harlow, both have flight restriction zones. Sites inside them need permission from the airport. We check every location against current airspace information and arrange any permissions as part of planning the job.
