Use case — Castles
Castles, surveyed without scaffolding.
Castles fail where nobody looks: leadwork on towers, valleys behind battlements, chimney heads and weathered parapets. A drone reaches every one of them in a single morning — no scaffolding, no risk, no guesswork.
The challenge
What makes these buildings hard to look after.
Height and access
Towers, turrets and keeps are nearly impossible to inspect without expensive scaffolding. Scaffolding for a single tower typically costs more than a full drone survey of the whole castle.
Complex roofscapes
Castles have roofscapes unlike any modern building — lead flats, hidden gutters behind parapets, multiple levels and materials. Defects in one section quietly damage another.
Listed constraints
Works on listed castles require consent, and consent requires evidence. A dated, documented condition history makes conversations with heritage authorities dramatically easier.
What you receive
A complete record, built for owners.
Full aerial survey
Every roof, tower, chimney and elevation photographed in high resolution, including areas unreachable by any other means.
Condition report
Each finding scored 1–100 and prioritised, so you know exactly what needs attention this year and what can wait.
3D model
A photorealistic model of the entire castle — explore it, measure it, and share it with architects and contractors.
“The survey found failed leadwork on a tower we had not looked at in twenty years. We fixed it for a fraction of what the water damage would have cost.”
