Who it’s for
Built for people who need answers, not raw video.
If you manage, maintain, or quote on Hampshire buildings, Solent Aero turns a short flight into defects found and a report you can act on.
-
Managing agents
Get exterior condition reports across a portfolio without arranging scaffolding or waiting weeks for a surveyor slot.
-
Landlords & freeholders
Know what’s wrong on the roof and elevations before you brief a contractor—or argue with an insurer.
-
Roofing & building firms
Show clients clear defect photos and locations so quotes are sharper and fewer site revisits are needed.
-
Surveyors & property teams
Add fast aerial coverage for hard-to-reach fabric, then hand clients a report they can actually use.
How it works
Not just footage—findings.
Anyone can film a roof. The value is having defects spotted for you and delivered in a report you can act on.
-
Step 01
We fly the building
A quick drone pass over the roof and elevations—about twenty minutes on site. No scaffolding, no disruption.
-
Step 02
Our system finds the issues
Footage is uploaded into our system, which reviews it and flags defects for you—so you’re not left scrubbing through hours of video.
-
Step 03
You get a clear report
Within 24 hours you receive a structured inspection report with findings and photos, ready to share with clients or contractors.
Why Solent Aero
The value isn’t the flight. It’s what you walk away with.
Traditional access is slow and expensive. A video dump leaves the work with you. We capture the building, find the defects, and hand you a report.
-
01
No scaffolding
Most exterior checks don’t need towers or cherry pickers. We fly, review, and report.
-
02
Defects found for you
You don’t scrub through footage. Our system flags issues and puts them in the report.
-
03
Report in 24 hours
From wheels-up to a shareable link—fast enough for quotes, claims, and client updates.
-
04
Photos contractors can use
Each flagged issue comes with a still and location context, ready to forward.
-
05
Local & insured
CAA registered, fully insured flights across Winchester, Southampton, Portsmouth, and Fareham.
-
06
One clear price
£249 for a standard building inspection package—no day-rate surprises.
The report
