Professional aerial documentation for insurance claims using our DJI Matrice 4 drone. Timestamped HD photos and 4K video capturing storm damage, roof problems, and property damage from every angle. Clear reports designed for insurers.
Get Your Claim Moving Faster
After a storm, flood, or unexpected damage, your insurance company needs evidence. Clear, comprehensive, professional evidence. Not a blurry phone photo from the garden.
Drone documentation gives your insurer exactly what they need to process your claim.
💡 Pro tip: Document damage as soon as possible after the event. Fresh evidence is stronger evidence. Don't wait for temporary repairs before getting photos - capture the damage first.

🔧 DIY Tips
If you need to document damage yourself before a professional visit:
🔧 Essential steps
- Photograph everything before making temporary repairs
- Take wide shots showing the property in context
- Take close-ups of specific damage
- Record the date and time
- Note what happened and when
📐 From ground level
- Walk all sides of the property photographing damage
- Include landmarks/house number so photos are clearly identifiable
- Photograph any debris and where it came from
- Capture water ingress from inside the house too
- Keep a written log of events
⚠️ Safety first
- Don't climb on damaged roofs or structures
- Stay away from fallen power lines
- Don't attempt to move heavy debris
- If the building feels unsafe, stay out
💡 Pro trick: Video walks are often more useful than individual photos for insurance purposes. Walk around narrating what you see - it shows the full context better than static images.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🏠 Devon weather - Atlantic storms hit Devon hard, particularly October to March. If you've had damage from a named storm, documentation is especially important as your insurer will be processing many claims simultaneously. Professional evidence helps yours stand out.
Temporary repairs are fine to make before we visit (tarps over damaged roofs, boarding windows), but photograph the damage first. Your insurer needs to see the original state.
Combine with a full roof inspection while we're there - storm damage to one area often means stress damage elsewhere that isn't immediately obvious.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my insurance company accept drone photos?
Yes - insurers increasingly accept and even prefer drone evidence. High-resolution, timestamped photos from multiple angles are more comprehensive than a few snaps from a ladder. We've had excellent feedback from insurers on the quality and clarity of our reports.
How quickly can you come out after a storm?
We prioritise storm damage documentation and aim to respond within 24-48 hours for urgent claims. The sooner we capture the damage, the stronger your claim. Contact us immediately after the event.
What information does the insurance company need?
Typically: photos showing the damage clearly, the extent of damage, what caused it (e.g. wind, falling tree), and any consequential damage (e.g. water ingress from missing tiles). Our reports are structured to give insurers exactly what they need.
Can you document damage on neighbouring properties too?
We can photograph damage visible from your property boundary. If a shared structure is involved (like a party wall chimney), we document everything visible. For the neighbour's property, they'd need to arrange that separately.
Do you provide a written report or just photos?
Both. You get a full set of annotated photos plus a written summary describing the damage, its likely cause, and the areas affected. The report is designed to support your insurance claim with clear, professional documentation.
