Heritage-Sensitive Aerial Surveys for Buildings, Roofs & Infrastructure
Bridging Heritage and Technology in Chester
Chester is one of the UK’s most architecturally rich cities home to medieval rows, listed buildings, and Roman-era walls alongside modern developments and public infrastructure. This blend presents a unique challenge: how do you maintain and inspect such a varied built environment without risking damage or incurring high access costs?
​
At Cr8ive Media UK, we help property owners and organisations across Chester carry out accurate, non-intrusive inspections using drone technology. Whether you’re managing a retail frontage in the city centre, a council facility near Hoole, or a heritage site around the cathedral, our services provide safe, efficient and measurable data without the need for scaffolding or powered access platforms.
Visual Evidence That Protects and Preserves
We use high-resolution aerial imagery and advanced photogrammetry to produce 3D models, digital twins and orthomosaics. These outputs are ideal for planning repairs, supporting funding bids, documenting fire risk and sharing asset information with stakeholders.
​
In Chester, clients often need to balance conservation with compliance. Our drone surveys provide the evidence needed to justify restoration work, monitor deterioration over time, and reduce disruption in busy or sensitive environments. We understand the planning constraints and work respectfully within conservation guidelines.
Use Case: City Wall Inspection
We recently scanned a section of Chester’s Roman wall located next to an active construction site. Using drone photogrammetry, we created a highly detailed mesh model that revealed subtle structural movement compared to data from the previous year.
This evidence supported the developer's decision to implement protective measures, helping prevent further risk to the historic structure. At a cost of £400, the drone survey eliminated the need for costly scaffolding and allowed the external engineers to review the findings remotely, supporting their impact assessments with accurate, visual proof.
