Frequently Asked Questions

Land by Drone provides thermal drone surveys across Devon, Cornwall and the wider South West of England, including Plymouth, Exeter and Truro. We are based in Yelverton, Devon.

Every survey is quoted individually, as cost depends on the property size, location and type of survey required. We provide a free, no-obligation quote, just get in touch with the details of your site.

No. The entire point of a drone inspection is that it requires no scaffolding, ladders or cherry pickers. The drone surveys your roof and building exterior safely from the air, with no disruption and no access equipment needed.

Reports are typically delivered within 24 to 48 hours of the survey, supplied as a full written report with annotated images and recommended actions.

Yes. Surveys are carried out by David Justin, an iRed-certified Level 1 Thermographer and Class 1 Chief Engineer with over 25 years of engineering experience. Land by Drone is CAA regulated and carries 10 million pounds of public liability insurance.

Thermal imaging reveals what the eye cannot: damp and moisture, heat loss, water ingress, missing insulation, draughts and mould risk. On solar farms it identifies hot spots, faulty cells and underperforming panels.

No. Surveys are non-invasive with no shutdown required. There is no drilling, no scaffolding and no need to halt operations.

Residential, commercial and industrial, from domestic homes to warehouses, factories, heritage buildings and solar farms.

A thermal building survey uses infrared imaging to reveal hidden problems like damp, heat loss and mould risk before they become expensive. It is useful for buyers, landlords, homeowners and anyone investigating an unexplained issue.

Yes. Thermal and high-resolution imaging pinpoints the source of water ingress, not just the symptom, so the right repair can be made first time.

A thermal camera flies the array and identifies underperforming panels, hot spots, bypass diode failures and string faults, without shutting the system down. Reports are delivered to IEC 62446-3 standards.

Multispectral imaging captures crop health, vegetation stress, soil moisture and land condition through NDVI analysis. It is used by farmers, land managers, ecologists and conservation organisations.

Yes. Land by Drone is CAA regulated and operates within full UK legal frameworks for commercial drone operations, with a risk assessment carried out before every flight.

A drone survey is faster, safer and cheaper. There are no scaffolding costs and no working-at-height risk, and you get high-resolution and thermal data that a ground inspection simply cannot capture.
