Thermal Imaging

Thermal Drone Services

Fully CAA authorised  ·  Nationally operated  ·  Locally delivered

Thermal drone imaging reveals what visible cameras can’t — heat signatures, moisture patterns, electrical faults and livestock positions. Our CAA-authorised thermal survey service covers agricultural, commercial and infrastructure applications across the UK, providing fast, accurate data that informs critical decisions.

CAA Authorisation
All thermal drone operations are conducted under the SAS Agri Drones national CAA Operational Safety Case.

Why Choose Drone Services

Key Benefits

01

See the Invisible

Thermal cameras detect heat differences as small as 0.1°C, revealing faults, moisture and livestock positions invisible to standard cameras.

02

Rapid Site Coverage

Survey large areas quickly — a drone covers ground faster and more safely than any ground-based inspection method.

03

Solar Array Fault Detection

Identify failing cells, hot spots, bypass diode failures and connection issues across large solar installations.

04

Livestock Location

Locate cattle, sheep and deer in dense vegetation, woodland or at night — useful for welfare checks and management.

05

Building & Infrastructure Surveys

Identify roof leaks, insulation failures, damp ingress and electrical hot spots in farm buildings and commercial premises.

06

Radiometric Data Delivery

Full radiometric TIFF outputs provided — enabling post-processing temperature analysis and professional reporting.
