Urban & Industrial Surveys for Buildings, Roofs, and Infrastructure

A Smarter Approach to Inspections in Greater Manchester

Manchester’s skyline is constantly evolving with high-rise apartments, office towers, older council housing and sprawling industrial parks all demanding regular inspection and maintenance. But traditional methods like scaffolding, rope access, or MEWPs aren’t always practical, cost-effective or safe especially in a fast-paced urban environment.

​

At Cr8ive Media UK, we provide drone inspection services across Manchester that eliminate those issues. We use drone photogrammetry and 3D modelling to inspect rooftops, façades, and structures quickly, safely, and with zero disruption to day-to-day operations. Whether you're managing housing in Didsbury, industrial facilities in Trafford Park or commercial buildings in the Northern Quarter, we can help you work smarter.

Data You Can Use, Decisions You Can Defend

Our inspections produce ultra-high-resolution imagery, orthomosaic maps, and measurable 3D models all geo-tagged and revisit-ready. These visuals are ideal for fire risk assessments, insurance documentation, reactive repairs, and planned upgrades.

​

Manchester clients use our models to collaborate with remote teams, reduce van trips, and get supplier quotes without sending someone to site. The ability to share a digital twin of your asset cuts cost, carbon and admin allowing better decision-making across your entire team.

Case Study: Commercial Roof & HVAC Survey 

We recently partnered with a facilities company overseeing commercial properties near Salford Quays. One multi-unit building had repeated drainage issues and suspected damage to rooftop HVAC units. Instead of arranging costly access platforms, we used drones to capture overhead and oblique imagery of the entire roof.

​

Our model revealed ponding, blocked downpipes and rusted unit enclosures all visualised in a format that could be shared with contractors, insurers and the asset owner. Within a week, targeted repairs were completed and a revised maintenance plan introduced saving the client over £2,000 in access costs alone.
