The industrial-shed brief for Drone Roof Inspection
For roof inspection on a industrial shed the vantage points are picked first, then the daylight window, then the sequence of rooms. Industrial sheds along the M62 at Omega, Bromborough and Knowsley Business Park sell on floor area, eaves height and dock access — the photography is a logistics brief as much as a visual one.

Brief
How an industrial-shed brief runs on the day.
low-altitude grid flights at 20–40m AGL with macro-zoom stills. The whole visit is choreographed with site H&S — the aerial pass sits inside a locked-down window.
Constraints
What shapes the shoot
- •Dock activity is continuous; the shoot day is planned around vehicle movements with the site FLT team.
- •Aerial passes need pre-agreed operator briefings — no flights over active dock plates.
- •Interiors are large, dim and mixed-source; the fill has to be substantial and even.

FAQs
Questions we hear
Do you carry RAMS for industrial-shed shoots?

Can the aerial pass avoid dock movement?
Yes — flights are timed against dock schedule; no pass runs over active dock plates.
What if the weather changes on the day?
Flights inside Manchester are rescheduled at no charge if sustained wind exceeds 24 mph or rain is forecast.
Is a drone roof inspection in Manchester cheaper than scaffolding?
