At DPL, our building and roof inspections are delivered using our state-of-the-art UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles – otherwise known as drones), which offer our clients a cost-effective, high-quality solution that eliminates the risk of working at height associated with traditional means of survey access. DPL UAVs surveying services offer significant cost savings when compared with traditional methods of access when undertaking condition surveys on all types of commercial, industrial, residential, and historic buildings. This is largely due to the reduced time needed on site, (typically the site elements of a survey can be completed in a matter of hours rather than days) and the lack of requirement for hire of powered access or scaffolding (which can add significant cost). Some areas of roofs may be completely inaccessible by traditional access methods. Fragile roofs and aging asbestos-containing materials present a serious health and safety risk. By utilizing a drone survey, detailed photographic data can be obtained of the roof and high-level elements of a building without the risk of fall or disturbing and releasing asbestos. DPL pilots operate the most sophisticated market-leading UAVs, offering unprecedented safety, fail-safe systems, and flight stabilization technology. DPL is a CAA-approved company holding a valid Permission for Commercial Operation, with special permission to fly at night and within built-up areas. Our pilots are all qualified to the industry standard, subject to yearly assessment, and collectively hold thousands of hours of flight experience surveying hundreds of buildings and structures throughout the UK.
