“We had a leak on our flat roof causing problems in the classrooms below. Harry from Compass visited the same day as our enquiry and very quickly pinpointed the area of concern. All this without having to gain access to the roof and with no disruption to the school - thank you for your professional service and assistance!””

DRONE SURVEY FAQ’S

  • Drones are versatile in their deployment and can be used as a substitute for activities that may require personnel to work at heights eliminating all risks and delays associated with hiring in plant and obtaining permits to work at height.

  • A drone survey is great for gathering information quickly at minimal expense, this may be for a roof inspection/ survey or just to capture some aerial images of your site to record construction progress or to inspect damaged areas.

  • Before any drone flight takes place Compass ensure it is safe to fly within the area obtaining the required permissions for controlled air spaces and notifying other air users of our intention to fly. Most areas are clear for drone flights, however, there are some limitations around airports, MOD facilities and sensitive locations. If your site falls within the Flight Restriction Zone for one of these areas, it may not be possible to deploy a drone.

  • Compass fly a drone weighing <250g which allows us to fly in all CAA Open categories so we are able to fly in most places. However, If your site falls within the Flight Restriction Zone, it may not be possible to deploy a drone.

    In addition, weather conditions on the day such as high winds and heavy rain will impact our ability to fly our drones.
