🌈 The first time I’ve ever managed to capture a full rainbow — and a double bow! 🌈

This was captured down west at Chulmleigh while I was unloading the car full of gear, getting everything charged up and ready to begin transferring data.

Luckily, I had the M3 Pro with me, so I quickly grabbed a wide-angle shot before this amazing rainbow disappeared! 📸

It’s been a while since we last shared something, but that’s because we’ve been incredibly busy!

Over the past few months, we’ve travelled from the Isle of Wight to Scotland, Wales, Essex and down west to Truro, and we haven’t stopped!

We’ve been carrying out:
🚁 Construction mapping
🌡️ Thermal scans
🏢 Inspection data capture
🏠 Roof inspections & surveys
📊 Processing client data into accurate deliverables
🎥 Light aerial video capture

Across all of this, we’ve collected terabytes of data and clocked up over 150 hours of flight time!

And we’re still going! This week we have several roof inspections and surveys across the Island, followed by trips up towards South West London for some rather exciting data collection. 👀

Thinking about getting a better look at the condition of your roof?

We provide safe, professional and legal drone services, capturing clear, sharp aerial imagery using the right equipment for the job.

Whether you need a simple visual inspection or a more detailed survey and data set, we can help you see what’s happening on your roof without the need to get up there yourself.

📍 Covering the Isle of Wight and beyond.

After a long search and an incredible amount of effort, Muffin is finally home! ❤️

We were proud to support Drone SAR For Lost Dogs IOW during the early stages of the search, flying both during the day and late at night using our thermal drone to help spot and track Muffin's movements. The information gathered helped build a plan to safely bring this little sausage home.

This was a true team effort, and I'm incredibly proud of everyone involved. A special mention goes to Suzzy, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes coordinating the team, organising ground searches, tracking dog teams, and drone pilots. Everyone gave up so much of their own time to help.

And a huge, well-deserved shout-out to Daryl Norman. The time, dedication, and determination you've shown throughout this search have been nothing short of amazing. You never gave up on Muffin, and your efforts helped make this happy ending possible.

Well done, buddy—you really are a star! ⭐🐶

Great news update ❤️❤️❤️

After more than 7 weeks since his escape, we are delighted to confirm that two of our team successfully executed a planned trapping operation yesterday, resulting in the safe capture of Muffin.

With the agreement of his owners, one of whom is currently and unavoidably out of the country, Muffin has been taken for a 48 hour period of assessment and decompression by one of our volunteers (who has over 30 years professional animal welfare experience) which will include a visit to the vets for a full check up and any necessary treatment.

We appreciate the very significant level of public interest in this rescue and, as such, we will of course release a more comprehensive account in the next 2/3 days. Until then, we are sure that you will all share our overwhelming sense of joy and relief that Muffin is now safe and sound after his time away from home.

🏡 Hello Blackwater! 👋

At the end of June, we were out in Blackwater carrying out a drone roof inspection, helping our client save both time and the significant cost compared to other methods.

In just over an hour, we captured every key area of the roof, along with the side elevations that couldn't be inspected clearly from the ground. Our high resolution images gave the client a clear understanding of the roof's condition, allowing them to confidently plan the next stage of their project.

🚁 Hello Cowes! 👋

While carrying out another roof survey on the Isle of Wight last month, we captured this fantastic view overlooking West Cowes, East Cowes, and the River Medina. What a place to work! 📸

Our client received a complete roof survey, including a full set of high resolution images and a detailed report identifying any defects or areas of concern. Once the survey is complete, we always like to take one final flight to capture the surrounding area and share the beauty of the Isle of Wight with you all.

🏡 Can you spot your home, workplace, or a friend's house? If you can, tag them in the comments or share this post they'll love seeing the view from above!

🏠 Drone Roof Inspection Completed in Shanklin 🚁

A few weeks ago, we carried out a detailed drone roof inspection for a client in Shanklin who wanted to know the overall condition of their roof.

With the property's height and size, a traditional inspection would have required extensive scaffolding, potentially costing close to four figures just to gain access.

Instead, our drone inspection provided a safe, fast, and cost-effective solution. From capturing the images to delivering the completed inspection, everything was finished in less than 24 hours.

📸 The client received over 500 high-resolution images, covering every angle of the roof, allowing them to assess its condition without the expense and disruption of scaffolding.

Whether you're buying a property, concerned about storm damage, or simply want to check the condition of your roof, Wight Drones can help.
