CAV Aerial is a trusted drone imaging service specialising in churches and heritage buildings across the UK. We provide high-accuracy aerial photography, thermal inspections, and 3D modelling to support everything from grant applications to long-term conservation.
As a certified thermography specialist, I use drone-mounted thermal cameras to help churches identify hidden issues such as damp ingress, heat loss, structural weaknesses, blocked drainage, or even signs of pest infestation — all without the need for expensive scaffolding or disruption to the site.
We also offer 3D models and digital mapping, ideal for conservation reports, architectural planning, and funding applications. These models can be used to assess change over time, guide repair work, or visualise proposals in a clear and accessible format.
For inspections, I carry out roof surveys, spire and tower imaging, and assist with condition assessments, working closely with architects, surveyors, and conservation officers. I’m fully qualified (GVC certified), insured, and experienced working in sensitive or protected environments.
In addition to documentation, I provide cinematic drone footage and high-resolution photography for grant submissions, websites, presentations, and social media. The content can also be used in films, digital archives, and printed materials, helping to raise awareness of your site’s significance and need for funding.
Every flight is carefully planned for safety, compliance, and minimal disruption. My aim is to deliver trusted, valuable insight that supports your mission to preserve, protect, and promote your church.
