# Lake District Drone Services
Lake District Drone Services operates as the aerial surveying division of Geoinvestigate, a geotechnical specialist established in 1997. Based in Windermere, they deliver professional drone and ground penetrating radar services across the UK's construction, building inspection, and geoenvironmental sectors.
The company specialises in deploying CAA-qualified pilots to capture high-resolution aerial data from locations that are difficult to access or potentially hazardous—including rooftops, cliff faces, quarries, slopes and industrial infrastructure. Their surveys integrate photogrammetry, liDAR, thermography and radar sensing to provide comprehensive site intelligence.
What distinguishes Lake District Drone Services is their commitment to safety and expertise. All operations are conducted with both a certified pilot and an on-site support technician, rather than as a single-operator service. Each survey is GPS-located, real-time monitored and preceded by formal flight plans and risk assessments lodged with the CAA.
They serve diverse sectors: construction teams utilise their roof inspections, progress monitoring and defect identification capabilities, whilst site investigators benefit from topographical modelling, terrain surveying through vegetation, slope stability assessment and coastal erosion monitoring. Heritage managers and infrastructure planners also rely on their mapping and route selection services.
By combining geological and geotechnical expertise with cutting-edge sensing technology, the company provides actionable data that informs critical decisions across multiple industries.
