Qualified and Certified
Our drone inspections are undertaken by CAA registered operators holding both A2 CofC and GVC qualifications, supported by extensive practical flight experience. This allows us to safely obtain detailed imagery of areas that are difficult to access from ground level.
Our expertise extends beyond drone operation. We are qualified in the Conservation of Masonry through Historic Environment Scotland (HES), hold a CSCS Heritage Skills Gold Card, and are NOCN qualified in Energy Efficiency for Older and Traditional Buildings. These qualifications ensure inspections are informed by a sound understanding of traditional construction, building defects and conservation best practice.
