Where we work, and how far is too far


Stamford sits close to the point where Lincolnshire, Rutland, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and Leicestershire meet, which makes a great deal of the East Midlands and East Anglia comfortably reachable in a morning, and the West Midlands a straightforward run up the A14 and M6.

The towns listed below are the ones we attend most often. They are not a boundary. If your site is not on the list, the question is not whether we will travel but whether the travel makes sense against the size of the job — and that is a conversation worth having rather than a rule worth publishing.

What we do not do is advertise a mileage radius and quietly load the cost back in somewhere else. Mobilisation is worked out for your specific site and appears in the written quotation before anything is booked. If a job is far enough away that the travel starts to dominate the fee, we will tell you, and we will usually suggest either grouping it with other work in the same area or finding somebody closer.

We are based in Stamford and work across the region as a matter of routine. There is more on how the area is covered, how travel is quoted and which towns come up most often on the drone surveys East Midlands page.

Some towns come up often enough to have a page of their own, with what tends to get flown there and how travel is worked out: Stamford and Rutland, Peterborough, Lincoln and Lincolnshire, and the wider Midlands.

For the work itself, see aerial surveys and aerial farm surveys.

Travel is Always Included

There is no published radius and no separate mileage line to be surprised by later. Your site is quoted as one figure covering the attendance, the flying and the processing, and the distance is already inside it.

We love what we do and will travel to most places and travel is included. Whether that be a multi-site job, a single 20 minute job or something in between.

What to send us for a quotation


A postcode

Or a what3words, or a pin dropped on a map. This is the single most useful thing you can send, because it settles distance, airspace and access in one go.

What is being surveyed

A roof, an elevation, a whole site, a mast, a plot of land. A rough size or storey count helps more than it sounds.

What the output is for

An insurance file, a tender, a planning application, a dispute, a marketing brochure. The end use changes how it is flown.

When you need it

A real date, including the one you actually need it by rather than the one you would like. It affects whether the diary and the weather can both be made to work.

Site access and constraints

Induction requirements, live traffic, livestock, schools nearby, restricted hours, or anything that means we cannot simply turn up and fly.

Anything else in the area

Other sites, other addresses, other buildings. Grouping them into one visit is the cheapest way to buy the work.

What clients get from working with us


Timescales

Most sites are surveyed within two working days of instruction, with reports sent 24 hours after surveys.

Deliverables

Orthomosaics, 3D models, point clouds, elevation sets and edited media, supplied in the formats your team already works in.

Coverage

Operating throughout the East and West Midlands, Yorkshire and East Anglia.

Compliance

Fully authorised and insured, with a site-specific risk assessment issued before every attendance.

Continuity

One point of contact from enquiry to delivery. Data is processed in-house and is never passed to a third-party bureau.

Certainty

A fixed written quotation against an agreed deliverable. No day rates and no variation after the event.

Questions


Do you charge extra for travel?

No, to put it plain and simple.

Will you come out for one small job?

Absolutely! A single chimney or one elevation is a normal instruction here.

Can you cover several sites in one day?

Yes! It is the best-value way to buy this work, so it is worth listing every address when you enquire.

Do you work outside the counties listed?

Yes, we'll go anywhere (not just the Midlands!)

How much notice do you need?

In theory, next day if we have the availability. Just check beforehand.

What happens if the weather stops the visit?

The date moves and nothing is charged for the aborted attendance. This is decided the day before wherever the forecast allows it.

Tell us about the site and we will take it from there

A site postcode and a sentence about what you need is enough to get started.
