Emergency Drone Inspections — 24/7 Callout Across the North
drones offer "eye in the sky"
When something goes wrong with a building or structure, you need accurate information fast. Image Surveys operates a 24/7 emergency drone inspection service across Merseyside, Lancashire, Cheshire and North Wales, deploying CAA-licensed pilots rapidly to give you the aerial assessment you need — safely, without waiting for scaffolding or access equipment to be arranged.
Whether you are dealing with storm damage to a roof, flood impact on a commercial property, suspected structural failure, or the aftermath of a fire, our emergency drone inspections deliver clear, high-resolution visual evidence and written reports quickly enough to support same-day decision-making, insurance notifications and contractor briefings.
when to call in the drone for an emergency
Emergencies rarely happen at convenient times, which is why our callout line is open around the clock, every day of the year. We respond to:
Storm & Wind Damage — High winds and severe weather can displace roof coverings, damage chimneys, dislodge cladding and bring down guttering across a property in minutes. A drone inspection allows you to assess the full extent of damage quickly and safely, without putting anyone at risk by climbing onto an unstable structure. Particularly valuable on larger commercial roofs, industrial units and multi-storey buildings where the scale of damage cannot be assessed from ground level.
Flood & Water Damage — Following flooding, a drone survey of the affected building and surrounding land provides an accurate record of the extent and impact of water ingress, drainage failure and structural compromise. This documentation is essential for insurance claims and supports recovery planning by contractors and loss adjusters.
Fire Damage Assessment — In the aftermath of a fire, assessing a building safely is often impossible from the ground. Our drones provide a comprehensive aerial view of the structural condition, helping building owners, insurers and engineers understand what they are dealing with before any physical inspection takes place. Thermal imaging can also identify hotspots in the structure that may not yet be visible.
Structural Concerns — If a building shows signs of movement, cracking, partial collapse or unexpected deterioration, a drone inspection provides rapid photographic evidence to support decisions about access restrictions, temporary works and structural engineering assessments — without requiring anyone to approach an unsafe structure.
Insurance Evidence & Claims Support — Insurers and loss adjusters need clear, timestamped visual evidence as quickly as possible following an incident. Our drone inspections deliver high-resolution imagery, video and written condition reports in a format that supports claims processing and minimises delays in getting repair work authorised and underway.
Property & Estate Emergencies — Unexpected problems on managed estates, housing association stock, commercial premises or rural properties can all be assessed rapidly from the air, giving facilities managers and property owners the information they need to make urgent decisions about safety, access and repairs.
Why Drone Inspections Are the Right Tool for Emergencies
Traditional methods of inspecting buildings after an incident — scaffolding, cherry pickers, rope access — take time to organise and can be dangerous when a structure has been compromised. Drones remove those constraints entirely.
Our pilots can be airborne over a site within hours of your call, operating safely from ground level without needing to enter or touch a damaged structure. The data is captured in real time and delivered to you quickly — not days later when a scaffold has finally been erected. For situations where time directly affects safety, insurance outcomes or repair costs, that speed makes a material difference.
We work regularly alongside loss adjusters, building surveyors, structural engineers, housing associations and facilities managers who rely on our emergency inspection service as a first response tool that gives them actionable intelligence fast.
Every emergency drone inspection includes high-resolution still photography of the affected area, annotated where relevant to highlight specific areas of concern, a written report suitable for insurance and contractor use confirming details of when and where the inspection took place, video footage of the structure and damage, and a fast turnaround — typically within 24 hours of the inspection being carried out.
Full Reports that can take longer and include 3d model data can be produced in formats suitable for direct submission to insurers, loss adjusters and structural engineers if you have any special requirements but are not normally need initially with an emergency call. Call 0800 999 1295
