Scheme handover Drone & Aerial Photography for registered providers
Buyers, boards and planners judging a housing scheme want drone aerial that answers questions, not just decorates them. Housing association work is usually handover and annual-report photography: new schemes recorded at practical completion, plus community frames that show the estate as residents experience it.

Process
How the visit runs
Step 1
Brief and drawings
Floorplans, drawings or listing links for the housing scheme come in first; we mark up the shot list against them.
Step 2
Weather and light
The visit date is confirmed against the daylight window and wind forecast — critical for drone aerial on this brief.
Step 3
Shoot day
Two-body ground kit plus aerial where the housing scheme setting warrants it; changes to the shot list are agreed on the spot.
Step 4
Review and hand-off
A curated set previews within 24 hours; the full edit lands within the drone aerial standard turnaround.
FAQs
Questions we hear
Do you shoot before snagging is complete?
Better after; handover dates are held loosely so the frames show finished work.
How is resident privacy handled?
Occupied homes are framed to avoid identification unless the resident has agreed in writing.
How long does a typical Wirral aerial shoot take?
Most Wirral commissions are wrapped on-site in under two hours, with edits returned inside 48 hours.
Can you fly in Wirral?
Yes — flights in Wirral are planned under OSC permissions, with NOTAMs filed where the CH41 district sits inside controlled airspace.
Do you need permission to fly near Hilbre Island?
Anything near Hilbre Island requires a pre-flight risk assessment; we coordinate with the relevant landowner and Wirral Council where ground access is needed.
