Thermal Surveys
Service Overview
The Drone Ranger offers specialist drone thermal surveys designed to deliver accurate, non-invasive insights across a wide range of sectors. Using drones equipped with advanced thermal imaging cameras, we capture high-resolution temperature data that reveals details invisible to the naked eye. From energy efficiency assessments to solar farm inspections, our surveys provide fast, cost-effective, and safe access to critical information without the need for scaffolding or cherry pickers. Operating nationwide with CAA-licensed pilots, comprehensive insurance cover up to £10 million, and expertise in complex flight operations, we ensure every survey is carried out with precision and professionalism.
Thermal drone technology is invaluable for identifying issues such as heat loss, insulation defects, water ingress, faulty electrical connections, or underperforming solar panels. By pinpointing these problems early, our surveys help clients save on maintenance costs, improve energy efficiency, and reduce downtime. Whether for industrial facilities, residential properties, or renewable energy sites, our thermal imaging surveys provide clear, actionable data to support smarter decision-making and long-term asset protection.

Using advanced aerial thermal cameras, we can quickly identify insulation defects, air leaks, moisture ingress, and areas of heat loss across roofs, walls, and façades. Unlike manual surveys that require scaffolding or ladders, our drones capture detailed imagery from every angle, ensuring a complete overview of the building’s performance without disruption to occupants or business operations. This approach is particularly valuable for property managers, construction firms, and homeowners looking to spot potential problems early.
The insights from a thermal building survey go beyond simple fault detection—they help improve energy efficiency, reduce heating costs, and protect the long-term value of the property. Whether assessing historic buildings, commercial complexes, or residential homes, our surveys deliver clear, actionable reports that guide maintenance, renovation, or compliance planning. By combining aerial precision with advanced thermal imaging, we offer a smarter, faster, and safer way to understand and maintain building health.
Electrical Surveys
Using thermal drones, we can uncover electrical issues in minutes—safely, accurately, and without the guesswork.

By using drones equipped with high-resolution thermal cameras, we can detect hotspots, overloaded circuits, loose connections, or failing components across power lines, substations, switchgear, and other electrical infrastructure. These issues often remain hidden during routine visual inspections but can be early indicators of potential failures. Our aerial approach allows for fast, non-intrusive inspections—even in areas that are dangerous, remote, or difficult to access—helping to keep personnel out of harm’s way while still gathering precise, actionable data.
Thermal electrical surveys are invaluable for preventing costly downtime and unplanned outages. By identifying and addressing faults before they escalate, clients can extend the life of their electrical systems, reduce energy losses, and comply with safety regulations. Whether for industrial facilities, renewable energy sites, or commercial buildings, our surveys provide clear reporting and expert analysis, giving clients the confidence to make informed maintenance decisions and improve overall operational efficiency.
Thermal Report
Our Thermal Report provides a clear, cost-effective overview of thermal survey findings, making it easy to identify key issues without unnecessary complexity.

After completing a drone thermal survey, we compile the essential imagery and data into a concise report that highlights areas of concern such as heat loss, moisture ingress, electrical faults, or insulation defects. This straightforward format is designed to give clients rapid insight into their property or asset’s condition, without overwhelming technical details. It’s an ideal option for homeowners, facilities managers, or businesses who need quick answers to pressing questions.
The Thermal Report delivers actionable information to guide maintenance or further investigation. Clients receive annotated thermal images and a summary of findings, enabling them to make informed decisions on repairs, energy efficiency improvements, or preventative measures.
Publication & File Sharing
Secure, simple, and reliable—our file sharing service ensures your survey footage and media are always accessible when you need them. Whether it’s raw captures or final edited videos, we make storing and sharing your data effortless.

We store your footage for as long as necessary, giving you peace of mind that your data is safe and ready to access whenever required. Whether you need the media in a large, high-resolution file or compressed versions, we provide the flexibility to suit your workflow.
Using our own high-performance NAS (Network Attached Storage) system, we generate secure links that remain active for the duration of your project—or longer if needed. This means you can share content with clients, colleagues, or stakeholders without worrying about expiring links or third-party file size limits.
A NAS-based system also offers several advantages: centralised storage for all project files, enhanced security with controlled access, faster transfer speeds than cloud-only solutions, and the ability to handle multiple large transfers simultaneously. Allowing for the perfect blend of convenience, reliability, and professional-grade data management.
