MEET YOUR CONTACT

Hi, I’m Alan.

Northern View Drones provides useful aerial imagery, personal service and clear communication for customers in Cumbria and Leeds.

With a background in energy, sustainability and project delivery, I understand the value of getting a clear picture before deciding what to do next. I work between Cumbria and Leeds, and you’ll deal directly with me.

GOOD TO KNOW

A few questions,
answered.

Do you provide aerial surveys?

We provide aerial survey imagery: photographs and visual observations that can support a roofer, surveyor or project team. This is not a measured land survey, structural survey, 3D mapping or thermal inspection. A qualified roofer or surveyor should assess defects, structural condition and repair requirements. We don’t guarantee every defect will be visible.

Can you check my solar panels?

We can photograph visible panel surfaces and their surroundings. This is a visual service; it does not test electrical performance, diagnose faults or provide thermal imaging.

What happens if the weather is poor?

Rain, wind and visibility can affect a flight. If conditions aren’t suitable, we’ll arrange another date with you. Airspace restrictions or site conditions may also prevent a flight.

Can you fly at every property?

Every location needs a check first. Airspace, nearby people, obstacles, privacy and access all matter. We’ll confirm feasibility before agreeing the work, and discuss permission for take-off and landing.

Do you work with trades and estate agents?

Yes—enquiries from roofers, estate agents, property managers, holiday-let owners and contractors are welcome. Tell us if you need repeat visits or images for a particular purpose.
