Photography & Drone Operations
🚁
Is it legal to fly a drone over my property?
Yes. All flights are conducted in accordance with UK Civil Aviation Authority regulations and applicable laws.
What if there are flight restrictions in my area?
Some locations may be affected by airspace restrictions, airports, military zones, or other operational limitations.
If we cannot legally or safely photograph your property, we will provide a full refund.
How high do you fly?
Flight heights vary depending on the property and local regulations, but are always operated safely and legally.
Are your drone pilots licensed and insured?
Yes. We operate legally and carry appropriate insurance for our activities.
Will you photograph neighbouring properties?
The focus of our photography is your property. However, neighbouring homes and surrounding landscapes may naturally appear in wider aerial views.
Weather
🌤️
What happens if it rains?
We only photograph properties when weather conditions are suitable for both safety and image quality.
If poor weather prevents photography, we will reschedule at no additional charge.
Do you only photograph properties in sunny weather?
Not necessarily. Some cloud cover can actually produce excellent photographs. However, we avoid conditions that significantly reduce image quality.
What if the weather is poor for several weeks?
We will continue to monitor conditions and photograph your property at the earliest suitable opportunity.

Property Appearance
🏠
Can you remove cars from the driveway?
We recommend moving vehicles before photography where possible. However some minor editing may be possible, but cannot be guaranteed.
Can you remove bins, garden clutter, or other objects?
Minor editing may be available, but extensive alterations may incur additional charges.
Can you make the sky look better?
Professional editing may include adjustments to lighting, colour, and sky appearance where appropriate.
What if my garden doesn’t look perfect?
Many customers order photographs of everyday homes. Aerial photography is about capturing your property as it exists today and preserving a moment in time.
