Professional Drone Surveys in Leicester

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 Leicester. 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.

Leicester has a great deal of older industrial and commercial roof stock, much of it on large single-storey units where getting somebody up safely means scaffold, a MEWP or a rope access team. That is a significant cost and a significant risk to take on simply to find out what condition something is in.

A drone survey removes the risk entirely and usually costs a fraction of the access. It also reaches places that are genuinely difficult to inspect any other way, such as valley gutters between adjoining roof slopes and parapet details on tall elevations.

Local knowledge

Business and Industry in Leicester

Leicester is the largest city in the East Midlands and its economy is unusually broad. Textiles and garment manufacturing still employ thousands across the north and east of the city, sitting alongside food production, plastics, printing, logistics and a large public sector anchored by two universities and the hospital trust. That mix means a consultant walking into a Leicester business could be looking at industrial sewing machines one day and a commercial kitchen the next.

“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 Leicester: Your Questions

Can you survey a large industrial roof in Leicester in one visit?

Usually yes. Most commercial roofs are covered in a few hours including setup and checks, and you get high-resolution imagery of the whole area rather than the parts a surveyor could safely reach. For very large or complex sites we may split it, and we will tell you at the quote stage.

Is a drone survey suitable for an asbestos cement roof?

It is particularly suitable. Fragile roof sheets are one of the biggest causes of fatal falls, and older asbestos cement is exactly the material involved. Being able to inspect the condition in detail without anyone going anywhere near it is a genuine safety gain, not just a cost saving.

Do you carry out drone roof surveys in Leicester?

Yes. We survey commercial and industrial premises throughout Leicester 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.
