LONDON PROJECT FAQS
Can you fly drones in Central London?
Yes, but it requires extensive planning. We manage the necessary permissions for flight in restricted zones like the City and Westminster, ensuring full compliance with CAA and NATS regulations.
Do you offer facade inspections in London?
Yes, we specialise in high-rise facade and building envelope inspections, providing high-resolution imagery and defect reporting for London real estate assets.
What is the response time for London projects?
While we aim for rapid deployment, London projects often require longer lead times for airspace clearances and site-specific risk assessments.
