Expert Survey Solutions that deliver.
Angell Surveys delivers professional aerial drone inspection services across the UK, using advanced UAV technology to inspect structures, assets, and infrastructure that are difficult, dangerous, or costly to access by conventional means. Our aerial inspections eliminate the need for scaffolding, rope access, or elevated work platforms — reducing cost, programme time, and health & safety risk.
An aerial drone inspection uses a UAV equipped with high-resolution cameras, thermal imaging sensors, or specialist payloads to capture detailed visual and diagnostic data from structures at height or in hard-to-reach locations. The drone can hover, rotate, and manoeuvre close to surfaces — capturing imagery and video that would otherwise require expensive access solutions.
Our inspection drones are equipped with optical zoom cameras, radiometric thermal sensors, and close-inspection payloads capable of resolving detail to sub-millimetre level at close range. All inspections are carried out by qualified pilots operating under CAA Operational Authorisation.
Every aerial inspection includes a structured written report with geotagged photographs, annotated defect images, and clear recommendations. Thermal inspection reports include radiometric data and temperature maps. Video walkthroughs, 360° panoramas, and photogrammetric models are available as additional outputs.
Drone aerial inspection is highly effective for visual condition surveys, defect identification, and ongoing monitoring. For structural assessments requiring physical testing or close material analysis, drone inspection is used alongside traditional methods to minimise the access required. Our team advises on the appropriate scope for each project.
We use cameras with up to 100MP resolution and optical zoom lenses. At typical inspection distances, we can resolve detail to 2–5mm per pixel. For close-proximity inspections, we can achieve sub-millimetre resolution, sufficient to identify hairline cracks, corrosion, and joint failures.
Yes. All aerial building inspections are supported by a comprehensive written report with annotated photographs, condition grading, and recommendations. Reports are supplied in PDF format and can be formatted to meet specific client or insurer requirements.
