Drone surveys, region by region
We match by postcode, so it works anywhere in the UK — these pages cover what surveying looks like in each region, including the airspace realities nobody mentions until quote day.
Pick your region
What your postcode changes — and what it doesn't
Three things about a drone job genuinely vary with where you are.
Airspace
Every UK postcode sits in somebody's airspace. Around aerodromes and in the controlled zones over major cities, a pilot may need permission before flying — that adds lead time and sometimes cost, but it rarely makes a job impossible. Checking this is part of what a pilot quotes for; naming the nearest airfield in your request speeds things up.
Travel
Pilots price travel into the quote, so one based twenty minutes away usually beats one crossing two counties. That's why we match by postcode rather than by region — and in thinly covered areas, travelling pilots take the work, with the mileage as a plain line in the quote rather than a surprise.
Weather
Wind and rain ground sensible pilots everywhere, but coastal, upland and northern sites lose more days to them. Whatever the region, expect a weather window rather than a fixed minute.
How the map and the counts work
The map plots checked pilots by the postcode they're based at — darker pixel, more pilots, and clicking a populated pixel opens its region. The card counts read the same way: companies based in a region, not companies willing to work there. Pilots travel, so "travelling pilots" means nobody is based there yet — not that you can't get quotes. We're a young platform and the map is thin in places; we'd rather show you a thin map than paint a thick one. If no pilot covers your postcode when you post a request, we say so instead of pretending.
