# New Build Drone Survey > A drone survey of the roof and upper storeys of a new build home, flown before the builder's defects period ends, with dated photographs written up for your snagging list. New build owners still inside the builder's defects period who want the roof and the outside of the house checked before that window closes, plus snagging companies who need their own aerial evidence for a client's list. A flown survey of the roof and every upper storey elevation, photographed at 100 megapixels and written up within 48 hours, so a defect goes on the list with a dated photograph attached rather than a description the builder can argue with. ## Services -

CAA registered: Operator ID and Flyer ID held, plus the A2 Certificate of Competency. The paperwork goes over with the quote, ready for a site manager's file if one is needed before access is agreed. - 100 megapixel camera: A DJI Mavic 4 Pro with a Hasselblad camera and 6K video. The resolution is what lets a single frame be cropped into a mortar joint on a ridge tile or a hairline crack in fresh render without the image falling apart. - Radiometric thermal: A DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced carrying a 640 by 512 thermal camera. Used where a flat roof section may be holding water under the membrane, which shows as a temperature difference well before it shows as a stain on a ceiling below. - Insured with Coverdrone: Full commercial cover for the operation. A certificate goes to a site manager, a warranty provider or a snagging company as a matter of course, without anyone having to chase for it. ## Contact - Phone: 07846 726646 - Email: info@exeterdronesurveys.co.uk - Enquiry form: https://new-build-drone-survey.co.uk/contact - Based in Exeter, covering Devon and the South West ## Optional - [Full text version](https://new-build-drone-survey.co.uk/llms-full.txt): every service, town and question on this site as markdown. - [Sitemap](https://new-build-drone-survey.co.uk/sitemap.xml) - [Privacy](https://new-build-drone-survey.co.uk/privacy) - [Terms](https://new-build-drone-survey.co.uk/terms)
