Facade Inspections
Drone technology offers a smarter way to assess the condition of building façades. We capture high-resolution, zoomable images that provide a clear, detailed record of external elements.
Why Use Drones for Façade Surveys?
No abseilers, scaffolding or access platforms needed
Fast and flexible usually completed in one day
Safe for all parties as no working at height required
Cost-effective, especially for taller or awkward buildings
Fast, safe, high-resolution façade inspections.
Drone technology offers a smarter way to assess the condition of building façades. Using aerial photography, we capture high-resolution, zoomable images that provide a clear, detailed record of external elements, all from the safety of the ground.
Our façade inspections are ideal for identifying issues with:
Exposed reinforcement (rebar) due to spalled concrete, risking corrosion and structural failure
Cracked or delaminated cladding panels (e.g. ACM, GRC, terracotta, HPL)
Missing or corroded fixings, fasteners, or support brackets behind rainscreen systems
Misaligned curtain wall units or excessive joint gaps
Damaged or perished gaskets, affecting air and water tightness
Failed or missing sealant at joints and interfaces (e.g. window perimeters, panel junctions)
Efflorescence, staining or biological growth, indicating moisture ingress
Open joints in brickwork requiring repointing or repair
Cracks in render or pre-cast panels, often signs of movement or substrate failure
Distorted or blown double glazing units (IGUs)
Deterioration of sills, copings, flashings, and other weatherproofing elements
Warping or corrosion of metal elements, such as aluminium panels or steel brackets
Blocked or poorly installed weep vents, affecting cavity drainage
Signs of previous temporary patch repairs, often hiding more serious long-term issues
Whether you’re a property manager, surveyor, or private homeowner, we help you inspect hard-to-reach elevations safely and cost-effectively, often at a fraction of the cost of traditional access methods. We will provide you with a report showing photographic evidence of defects along side annotations explaining the risks and severity of the condition of those building elements.
