Safe operations – no need for staff to work at height.
High-resolution imagery and 4K video for detailed analysis.

Drone Surveys vs Traditional Inspection Methods
When it comes to inspecting roofs, gutters, and high-level structures, many organisations still rely on scaffolding, access towers, or cherry pickers. While effective, these methods come with significant drawbacks in terms of cost, time, and safety.
CityGroup’s Drone Roof Surveys and High-Level Inspection Services provide a smarter alternative. Here’s how they compare:
Cost Efficiency
Traditional Methods: Hiring scaffolding or cherry pickers is expensive. Costs increase with project size, building height, and duration of inspection.
Drone Surveys: Drones eliminate the need for access equipment, reducing inspection costs by up to 80%. Clients pay only for the inspection, not for hire equipment or prolonged site disruption.
Speed of Delivery
Traditional Methods: Setting up scaffolding or arranging cherry picker hire can take days, delaying inspections and increasing downtime.
Drone Surveys: CityGroup’s drones can be deployed within hours, providing rapid inspections and same-day reporting with high-resolution imagery.
Health & Safety
Traditional Methods: Working at height remains one of the biggest risks in facilities management. Every inspection requires additional risk assessments, safety equipment, and staff exposure to hazards.
Drone Surveys: Drones remove the need for operatives to work at height, dramatically reducing liability and improving site safety.
Quality of Reporting
Traditional Methods: Visual inspections are limited to the inspector’s line of sight and can miss hidden issues. Photography from scaffolding or cherry pickers is often low quality and incomplete.
Drone Surveys: Equipped with 4K cameras, drones capture every angle, even hard-to-reach areas. Clients receive detailed photo and video reports, timestamped for compliance and insurance purposes.
Disruption to Operations
Traditional Methods: Scaffolding often blocks access, restricts site operations, and disrupts tenants or staff.
Drone Surveys: Inspections are carried out quickly and discreetly, with no impact on day-to-day business activities.
Why Clients Prefer Drone Surveys
Most clients initially consider drone surveys for cost savings, but quickly discover the wider benefits – including better service delivery, improved safety, faster turnaround, and reduced management time.
By choosing CityGroup, you’re not just saving money on scaffolding hire – you’re gaining a fully accredited inspection partner who delivers:
Regional coverage across Preston, Manchester, Liverpool, Blackpool & Lytham.
Compliance-driven reports suitable for insurers and auditors.
Sustainable practices, with reduced carbon footprint compared to traditional methods.
