Why drone evidence is useful Following an incident—whether a storm, fire, or flood—the primary challenge is safely documenting the damage. Drones allow for immediate, high-resolution visual records of areas that are too dangerous or inaccessible for manual inspection.
Common use cases - **Storm Damage**: Documenting dislodged tiles, failed flashings, or structural impact after high winds. - **Fire Damage**: Safely inspecting roof structures and upper floors without entering an unstable building. - **Flood Evidence**: Documenting the extent of water ingress and site impact. - **Liability Support**: Providing visual context for third-party damage or site incidents.
What images can show Our 45MP+ imagery can zoom in to see individual screws, cracks, and material failures. This level of detail is critical for loss adjusters to accurately value a claim.
Annotated evidence packs We don't just provide photos. We provide a structured "Evidence Pack" with annotated images, GPS-tagged locations, and a clear breakdown of the identified damage.
Urgent response limitations While we aim for rapid deployment, all flights are subject to Pilot availability, safe weather conditions, and CAA airspace clearance. Safety remains the priority in post-incident environments.
Working with contractors and insurers Drone data can be shared directly with your insurer and your chosen repair contractor, ensuring everyone is looking at the same evidence. This speeds up the scoping and approval process.
Practical Considerations
— Drone operations are subject to airspace, weather, site access, permissions, nearby people and property, and operational safety requirements.
— Survey-grade outputs require suitable methodology, control, processing and accuracy verification.
— Drone evidence can support claim documentation but acceptance depends on the insurer, policy, claim context and required evidence.
