Protecting Remote and Rural Heritage with Advanced Technology
Digital Documentation in the Lake District and Beyond
Cumbria is home to some of the UK’s most picturesque and remote heritage buildings from Lakeland farmhouses and dry-stone barns to country estates and historic churches. These sites often face extreme weather, isolation, and limited access, which makes their protection both vital and challenging. Cr8ive Media UK offers drone photogrammetry services that make it possible to document these buildings thoroughly and affordably.
With our lightweight drone equipment and advanced processing tools, we can scan buildings in situ with minimal impact. Our 3D models are detailed, georeferenced, and suitable for maintenance planning, grant applications, and archiving.
A Safe and Efficient Alternative to Traditional Surveys
Working in areas where scaffold is impractical or cost-prohibitive, drones provide a faster and safer way to assess condition. In Cumbria, we've worked on sites tucked into valleys, set on steep slopes, and exposed to wind and water damage all of which benefit from remote aerial access.
Our process is discreet and non-invasive, which is particularly valuable for listed buildings and properties in protected landscapes like national parks or Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
We take pride in supporting heritage across Cumbria, especially for organisations that need practical help, not vague promises. Every model we produce is delivered with care, reviewed, processed, and usable by planners, builders, and trustees alike.
Case Study: Fellside Barn Survey in South Cumbria
We scanned a traditional barn near Kendal as part of a rural conservation grant application. The survey identified deterioration in roof timber, which had been missed in earlier inspections. The digital model helped secure support for urgent preservation work
