Modern UAV Drones are fast replacing more conventional methods of visual inspection and survey that are both time and costly.
SOS Group Services offer a very cost effective, quick solution for UAV aerial building surveys compared to more expensive traditional methods of scaffolding, platforms, steeplejacks or hiring a cherry picker. No one leaves the ground so you do not have to worry about the HSE - “Working at Height” health and safety regulations.
Ultra-HD 4K Video & 20MP Stills
Crystal-clear high-resolution imagery and video inspecting roof tiles, lead flashings, coping stones, chimney stacks, and high-level cladding.
Zero Working-at-Height HSE Risk
Pilots operate entirely from ground level, eliminating the primary cause of construction injuries and bypassing complex working-at-height permit delays.
Zero Scaffolding Setup Time & Cost
Deploy within hours rather than waiting weeks for scaffolding design, delivery, erection, and highway pavement licences — saving up to 80% on inspection costs.
Eco-Friendly Low-Carbon Capture
Electric UAV quadcopters produce zero site emissions and eliminate diesel cherry pickers, cranes, and heavy transport movements.

SOS Drone Surveys
Why you should trust us with your drone survey
SOS group services are specialists in high-level aerial building surveys and inspections on towers, chimney structures, and roofing using radio controlled quadcopter drones (UAV’s).
We do work for property owners, leasehold tenants, chartered surveyors, consultants, local councils, and religious organizations. Our projects include listed buildings, retail parks, churches, industrial sites, wind turbines, solar farms, towers, and landmark buildings.
All of our pilots are CAA approved and are skilled in flying aerial survey drones to get a view of those “difficult to reach” places. We can fly our drones close to the roof or building to get detailed aerial camera ultra-HD 4K video footage or 20 megapixels still aerial images.
