Protecting the Past with drones

Drone services for Heritage projects

Image Surveys provides specialist heritage and historic building drone surveying services across the UK, supporting conservation officers, heritage organisations, architects and property owners with highly detailed aerial data for the documentation and preservation of historic sites.

Using advanced UAV technology and high-resolution photogrammetry, we capture precise imagery and create accurate 3D models and 2D Maps in a safe non-intrusive way.

From castles, churches and industrial heritage sites to listed buildings and archaeological locations, Image Surveys delivers accurate visual records that support conservation planning, restoration projects and long-term heritage management. 

Our data helps clients with base line data, monitor structural condition, identify deterioration and maintain compliance with heritage preservation standards as well as meet grant funded requirements for progress reporting.

Safe & low impact inspections: high quality data

Safe inspection of historic properties: reduce risk of injury or damage

Create accurate 2D maps and 3 D models to research interpret, plan and share data easily

Access high resolution survey accurate levels of data to make better decisions

Many heritage buildings, churches, towers, chimneys and monuments are difficult or dangerous to inspect using traditional access methods. Drones allow us to safely capture detailed imagery of roofs, stonework, masonry, gutters and elevated structures without scaffolding or working at height.

Access high resolution survey accurate levels of data to make better decisions

Drone surveys provide extremely detailed photographs and video that can identify defects such as cracked masonry, water ingress, vegetation growth, failed pointing and structural movement. This helps conservation professionals prioritise repairs and monitor deterioration over time.

Reduce costs spent on surveys and minimise disruption; free up budgeted funds for elsewhere

Heritage projects often require precise records of buildings and landscapes. Drone technology enables the creation of accurate orthomosaic maps, elevation models and 3D digital reconstructions which can support conservation planning, restoration work and long-term archive records.

Reduce costs spent on surveys and minimise disruption; free up budgeted funds for elsewhere

Traditional access systems such as scaffolding, cherry pickers and rope access can be expensive and disruptive, particularly at sensitive heritage sites. Drone surveys reduce the need for invasive access equipment, helping projects save time and money while protecting fragile historic fabric as well as allowing safer access to fee paying visitors avoiding need to close off areas

Detailed aerial data allows architects, conservation officers, engineers and heritage organisations to better understand site conditions before work begins. Drone imagery also creates valuable visual records for planning applications, grant funding, project progress reports, insurance documentation and conservation reports.

Many heritage sites include inaccessible roofs, remote ruins, unstable structures or environmentally sensitive landscapes. Drones can capture accurate data in locations where traditional survey methods are impractical, unsafe or restricted, while minimising physical impact on the site.  Equally drones  can cause less disturbance near wildlife when operated correctly

Managing Historic Sites

Research and Restoration

Managing Historic Sites

With around 400,000 listed properties , 24000. grade 2 star and 100000 Grade 1 listed buildings  in the UK currently a lot of property owners need access to specialist suppliers. Managing historic sites of all types requires careful planning, research and decision making. Having up to date accurate information makes that process more reliable and efficient.

Compared to other methods of gathering data drones provide a safer , often more cost effective method that is less invasive to the property or environment and causes minimum disturbance to owners or visitors.

Research and Restoration

Research and Restoration

Drones open up a range of information that was previously difficult to gather such as thermal data, multi spectral imaging  and close up high resolution images.

Advances in software mean we can quickly combine multiple data to detect damage that can even be unseen to the human eye.

We can also take captured data and convert this in to easily shared and understood maps and detailed 3D models of all or part of a site.

Protecting Historic Buildings Through Safer Inspection Methods

 

Historic and listed buildings require specialist care, sensitive inspection techniques and accurate condition reporting. Image Surveys provides professional heritage drone surveys that allow conservation teams, architects and property managers to assess historic structures safely and efficiently.

Our UAV technology enables detailed inspection of churches, listed buildings, stonework, towers, roofs and heritage assets without physical contact or invasive access methods. High-resolution imagery supports maintenance planning, conservation projects, grant applications and long-term asset management.

Drone surveys reduce risks associated with working at height while minimising disruption to occupied or sensitive heritage sites.
