# Global Drone Surveys
Global Drone Surveys is a Cardiff-based drone inspection and surveying company serving clients across the UK. They specialise in capturing high-resolution aerial data for assets that are difficult or dangerous to access, eliminating the need for traditional scaffolding, rope access and costly site shutdowns.
The company works with building owners, construction firms and infrastructure operators to inspect roofs, commercial buildings, flare stacks, transmission towers and large industrial installations. Their survey-grade outputs include photogrammetry, geo-referenced mapping and detailed inspection imagery that engineers and stakeholders can immediately act upon.
What sets Global Drone Surveys apart is their operational expertise in complex, congested airspace. Since 2016, they've built a reputation handling sensitive projects across national infrastructure and major construction sites. They hold CAA licensing, maintain ISO 9001 quality certification and carry £10m public liability insurance specifically for aerial work. Their safety-first approach and faultless operational record enable them to navigate regulatory requirements and site restrictions where less experienced operators cannot.
Their deliverables are notably practical—clear, actionable data rather than raw footage. They combine rapid turnaround with thorough compliance management, reducing project delays whilst maintaining the highest safety standards. This combination of technical capability, regulatory credentials and proven performance on large-scale projects positions them as a trusted partner for organisations requiring professional drone surveys without operational compromise.
