Professional Drone Surveys in Derby

Falls from height remain the leading cause of workplace fatalities, and a great deal of that risk is taken on simply to look at something. Drone surveys let you inspect roofs, gutters, chimneys, towers and high-level structures in detail without anybody leaving the ground, no scaffold, no MEWP and no access hire.

Based in Coalville, Leicestershire, Integral Safety is ideally positioned to serve businesses in Derby. Choosing a local consultancy means a survey booked around the weather window rather than around a long journey, and a consultant who can return quickly if conditions change.

Derby's industrial estates are full of large-span roofs with rooflights, extraction stacks, ductwork and plant at high level. Inspecting any of it traditionally means either a MEWP inside a working yard or somebody on a fragile roof, and both bring real risk.

Rooflights deserve particular mention. They are the single most common thing people fall through on industrial roofs, they weather until they are structurally useless, and from the ground you cannot tell. A drone survey shows their condition clearly.

Local knowledge

Business and Industry in Derby

Derby is one of the country's leading centres for advanced manufacturing and engineering, with aerospace, rail and automotive at its core and a deep supply chain of specialist SMEs feeding them. That supply chain is where most of our Derby work sits: precision engineering, fabrication, surface treatment and assembly firms who face higher-hazard processes and demanding customer audits.

“We have recently utilised the guys at Integral Safety Ltd to carry out a drone roof survey of a housing development. We were impressed with the clarity and detailed schedule of images and footage. In addition, the accompanying reports clearly identify the locations of the images for reference. I’ve also been impressed with Integral's client care and quick turn around of instructions/completion of task/production of documentation and footage. We would highly recommend them.”

Questions

Drone Surveys in Derby: Your Questions

Can you survey while our Derby site is operating?

Usually yes, and that is one of the main advantages. There is no scaffold to erect and no MEWP occupying your yard, so most surveys happen with the business running normally. We agree exclusion arrangements for the area directly beneath the flight as a precaution.

Why do rooflights matter so much?

Because they are the most common thing people fall through. They weather and become brittle, they often look much the same as when installed, and once painted over or dirty they can be hard to distinguish from the surrounding sheet. Knowing where they are and what condition they are in is basic information for anyone who might ever need to go up there.

Do you carry out drone roof surveys in Derby?

Yes. We survey commercial and industrial premises throughout Derby and the surrounding area. Most surveys are completed in a few hours and you receive high-resolution imagery with a written report identifying what we found.

What about airspace restrictions and the weather?

We check airspace restrictions before every flight and operate within the Civil Aviation Authority rules, including near airports and over built-up areas, which matters in this region given East Midlands Airport. Weather is the main scheduling constraint: high wind and heavy rain stop flying, so we build a little flexibility into booking rather than promise a fixed hour.
