Clearer insight for historic building care
Britannia Drones helps those responsible for historic buildings to see hard-to-reach roofs and external features clearly. We capture and organise aerial photographs, video and location-referenced observations to support maintenance and repair planning.
Based in Dorset and working across the UK, we work with churches, heritage sites, building owners, estate managers, architects and surveyors. Each project is planned around the building, the areas to be recorded and the information the client needs.
Our surveys give building professionals clear visual evidence to review and use in their work. They can help owners and custodians explain maintenance needs and support funding applications, while leaving assessment and repair decisions to the relevant qualified professionals.
Some of our Services
Visual records of roofs and other hard-to-reach external areas at historic buildings, estates and heritage sites. We organise imagery and observations to support care and repair planning. Each project is scoped with the client; larger or more complex sites may require additional workdays.
Aerial photographs and video captured at agreed stages, creating a clear visual record of work on site. We agree the capture plan and views with your site team so the imagery supports progress updates, communication and project records.
Aerial photographs, video and organised observations of agreed areas of church buildings. The visual record can help church teams and their advisers plan maintenance and repairs. Standard rate: £500 per full workday. A full workday covers around four hours on site plus around four hours for administration and reporting. If a building needs more than one day, additional workdays are agreed in advance.
Aerial photography, video and 360 imagery to show a property and its setting. We agree the views, intended audience and final format with you, from clear exterior context to a more immersive presentation.
