Drone inspections for schools and academy trusts

Schools need safe, practical ways to understand building condition without disrupting students and staff. Ovrsite delivers fast external inspections and clear reporting that supports planned maintenance, risk management, and budget planning.

Common challenges:

  • Limited estates budgets and competing priorities

  • Ageing roofs and fabric issues that escalate quickly

  • Access constraints and safeguarding considerations

  • Needing clear evidence for governors, trusts, and funders

How Ovrsite Helps

Low-disruption inspections during suitable windows (e.g., holidays, weekends)

Safer external checks with reduced need for working-at-height access

Actionable reports that translate issues into maintenance priorities

Estate-wide consistency across multiple schools and sites

Typical use cases:

  • Roof inspections (membranes, tiles, flashing, gutters, valleys)

  • Visual checks of high-level external fabric and rainwater goods

  • Post-weather event inspection and remedial prioritisation

  • Condition evidence to support maintenance plans and funding cases
