From Industrial Mills to Historic Abbeys – Preserving Yorkshire’s Legacy

A Heritage Region Deserving Digital Protection

Yorkshire’s architectural landscape is incredibly diverse from ruined abbeys and medieval castles to Georgian civic buildings and vast textile mills that shaped the Industrial Revolution. Cr8ive Media UK supports this rich heritage by offering drone-based photogrammetry services to document, measure, and analyse historic buildings across the county.

Our drone surveys produce accurate, textured 3D models that serve as a foundation for restoration work, conservation planning, and funding bids. We work with charities, conservation officers, and private owners who are serious about protecting Yorkshire’s history with practical, evidence-based tools.

From Dales to Cities – We Cover It All

The rugged terrain of the Yorkshire Dales, the wind-swept ruins along the coast, and the dense rooftops of cities like Leeds, Bradford and York all pose challenges for traditional surveying methods. Drones can safely access towers, gables, and rooftops with minimal disruption, allowing us to complete comprehensive scans quickly and efficiently.

Whether you manage a historic hall in North Yorkshire or a disused mill in Bradford, our surveys offer clarity that scaffold and manual checks simply can't match. Delivered digitally and ready for use, they save time, money, and reduce heritage risks.

Bradford Case Snapshot: Heritage Roof Survey

One recent survey revealed lifted flashing, displaced slates and blocked outlets. Using our 3D model and annotated imagery, the owner applied for listed building consent and planned works, all before winter, without any rooftop access. The £350 survey avoided over £3,000 in reactive access costs and prevented further weather damage.
