Permissions matter

Approved for business locations, airports, FRZs and restricted areas.

Most of the sites we're asked to fly, live commercial premises, near airports, inside Flight Restriction Zones, around Network Rail corridors, military air bases and Royal estates, require enhanced CAA permissions, prior notification, and an operator with the track record to coordinate with the relevant authority. We hold and operate under those permissions every day. If you've been told "no" elsewhere, our route to flying it is almost certainly already in place.

Common questions

Drone surveys in this area

Can you fly drones near Middlesbrough's controlled airspace?

Yes. We operate routinely under Teesside International Airport CTR. Our enhanced CAA permissions and notification procedures let us fly safely in and around controlled airspace where standard operators are restricted, including airport approach paths and Flight Restriction Zones.

Do you cover Middlesbrough central areas like Town Centre and Acklam?

Yes. We routinely fly across Middlesbrough including Town Centre, Acklam and Middlehaven. Dense built-up areas, occupied commercial premises and live retail sites are all within scope under our enhanced CAA approval.

Can you fly drones near Transporter Bridge or other Middlesbrough landmarks?

Yes, where permitted. Iconic sites like Transporter Bridge sit within or near restricted areas, but we work with the landowner, the relevant authority and the CAA where needed to secure the right permissions. We have a strong track record of getting "no" sites to "yes".

Can you fly drones during Middlesbrough working hours without disturbing the site?

Yes. Our enhanced CAA permissions let us operate at 10m from people and property while sites are live and occupied, so Middlesbrough commercial buildings can stay operational throughout the survey.

How quickly can you mobilise to Middlesbrough?

Our pilots cover Middlesbrough routinely as part of UK-wide commercial operations. Standard mobilisation is 5 to 10 working days from the booking. For urgent work we can usually deploy within 48 hours.

Do you survey housing portfolios across Middlesbrough?

Yes. Multi-property thermal and roof surveys for housing associations and social landlords in Middlesbrough are a routine workload. Reports are produced consistently across the entire portfolio in a single AIM Platform deliverable.
