About Us

We Reach What
Ladders Cannot

Drone Services began in a garage on Maplewood Lane with one folding quadcopter and a roofing contractor who was tired of climbing. Ten seasons on, we are still a small crew, and we still answer our own phone.

Every job starts the same way: you tell us the address and what you need to see. We check the airspace, book a window that suits the light, and fly it. You get finished files, not a hard drive full of clips to sort through yourself.

What We Do

Flights Booked By The Job

Six things people call us for. If your job sits between two of them, say so on the phone and we will price it properly.

How It Works

From Your Call
To Your Files

Four steps, in this order, every single booking. Nothing here is a surprise on the day.

01

Send us the address

Drop us the location and a line about what you need to see. Photographs of the site from the ground help more than you would think.

02

We clear the airspace

We check the class of airspace over your site, file for authorisation where it is required, and tell you straight away if a spot is restricted.

03

Flight day

The pilot walks the site, sets a launch point and briefs anyone working nearby. Most jobs are wheels-up and packed away inside two hours.

04

Edited files, sent over

Colour-corrected stills and cut clips arrive by download link, sized for whatever you plan to do with them. Raw footage on request.

Client Words

What People Say Once

“They flew a listing that had sat quiet for two months. The lot finally made sense to buyers once they could see the tree line, and we had three viewings that week.”

Dana Whitfield Broker, Larkspur Realty

Pricing

Pick The Package
That Fits The Job

Both packages include the pilot, the aircraft, the insurance and the editing. There is no separate call-out charge and no mileage line inside our service area.

Thermal work, repeat monthly visits and anything needing a survey-grade map are quoted per site. Call and describe the job — we would rather price it once, properly, than guess.

Flying Legally

The Paperwork Is
Part Of The Job

Ask any operator for these four things before you book them. We keep ours to hand and will send copies over with the quote.

Certified pilots

Every person who touches the controller on your site holds a current remote pilot certificate under Part 107.

Insured on every booking

Public liability cover runs on all commercial flights. Your site office can have the certificate before we arrive.

Airspace authorisation

Controlled airspace requests are filed before the day, not on the tailgate. If a window is refused, you hear it from us first.

Checklists and briefings

A written pre-flight check on every launch, plus a short verbal brief to anyone working within the flight area.
