Kent sits under Heathrow arrivals. We make flights easy.

From Gravesend to Folkestone, three recurring blockers on Kent projects.

Biggin Hill, Lydd & Manston

Kent hosts Biggin Hill's CTR, Lydd's ATZ and the former Manston airspace. Our drone pilots check each active zone and file appropriately.

Oast Houses & Listed Roofs

Kent's oast houses and listed farmhouses are surveyed without scaffolding the whole frontage.

Channel Ports & Coast

Dover and Folkestone ports need careful ATC liaison. Coastal cliffs are surveyed without rope access.

Strict Vetting Process

You can't hire just anyone to fly over Kent.

An uninsured hobbyist crashing onto a listed oast or near a Dover port operation leaves you—the client—exposed.

My name is Peter Leslie, founder of HireDronePilot. We vet every drone pilot before they touch your brief.

Commercial Public Liability Insurance (£1M min, £5M+ typical) and CAA authorisations are manually verified.
