Rated Excellent on Trustpilot

Reached out to Blue Ape re: home battery only as I already have solar. Craig got back to me very quickly, answered all my questions, drew up a report based on my current system in which everything was explained in great detail (investment, ROI, yearly savings etc.). Very honest and didn’t try to upsell me a larger system than what I need. Compared to other companies I contacted, Craig was willing to liaise via email instead of phone calls (can’t answer phone at work) and also unlike other providers he actually made an assessment of my situation and planned my system. Will be having the system installed hopefully within 2 weeks. Highly recommended.

Rated Excellent on Trustpilot

Just had a full install of solar panels, battery, and hybrid inverter. I have to say, the entire process was seamless. Craig and Emily were excellent from proposal to completion. The scaffolding installers were neat, tidy, and quick to take everything down once the job was finished. The internal and external installation by the electricians was top-notch. The layout and cable runs are very neat and clearly well thought out. Overall, a 5-star company that I’ve recommended to friends and work colleagues. Check out their YouTube channel—there’s lots of great advice about the products they install.

Unmatched Accuracy & Detail

Capture millions of data points to create survey-grade 3D models and high-resolution maps, providing far more detail than traditional methods.

Enhance Site Safety

Inspect hard-to-reach or hazardous areas without putting people at risk. Drones eliminate the need for working at height, reducing liabilities and site disruption. Read More

Frequently Asked Questions

uCan’t find the answer you’re looking for? Click here to book a call with one of our experts

1. How much does a drone roof or solar inspection cost?

We charge £350 for a half-day (4 hours including travel) and £650 for a full day (8 hours including travel). For example, if travel takes one hour each way, that leaves two hours on site plus time for a professional report.

2. What is included in your half-day drone inspection service?

A half-day includes travel to and from site, time on location (typically two hours if travel is one hour each way), and preparation of a written inspection report. This makes it ideal for smaller projects such as a single roof or estate agent property.

3. Why should I choose a drone inspection instead of scaffolding or cherry pickers?

Drone inspections save money, are safer, and avoid the disruption of scaffolding. Our aerial images provide the same, or often better, visibility at a fraction of the cost.
