Drone Service - Property Management

Areas at height, such as roofs and gutters, are often neglected due to the costs and complexities involved when inspecting these areas. Traditional methods include scaffolding and cherry pickers (MEWPS), which may not be suitable depending on the timescale, budget, location, space, and general inconvenience. As a result, these areas start to corrode and build up debris from broken roof slates or tiles due to storms, bird nests, and vegetation growth. By having a much more cost-effective, safer, and non-intrusive alternative, residential block management and commercial property management companies can routinely inspect these areas to prevent major and expensive repairs. 

Highvue provides quality drone surveys for both residential and commercial property management companies. The surveys that we undertake are of high quality, non-disruptive and ensure health & safety compliance. Drone surveys are mainly beneficial in the property management sector for preventative maintenance several times throughout the year or once annually and on a reactive basis whenever necessary. Additionally, our drone surveys are used to support pre-acquisition surveys and contractor disputes over poorly completed works to areas at height. We host our surveys on a cloud-based analysis platform, with reports completed by accredited FIoR Roofing Consultants and RICS Surveyors with remedial actions. With our analysis platform, you can share the reports online with any contractors allowing them to assess and provide quotes without attending the site; a much more convenient and time-efficient method. 

Drone inspections are another popular service regularly requested by our property management clients. Inspections can spot early signs of potential damage that can save block management companies thousands of pounds in the long term. Inspections are ideal for supporting in-house surveyors and maintenance teams, providing them with the tools to understand their assets and make the appropriate arrangements. We provide a live stream to an external monitor for your team to view and make decisions on-site if necessary. Our drone inspections can capture all areas, including the roof, building, and other structural features at height, which helps you manage and improve the performance of your building. With our drone inspections, we guarantee a fast turnaround of the data.

Aerial photography is also regularly used by block management companies and the whole of the property management sector. If you are selling properties and want to showcase the best of them, aerial photography combined with 360 panoramic imagery and virtual tours can help to market the properties to prospective residents.
