CAA-Approved Boundary Evidence

Drone Boundary Surveys.

Compare quotes from specialist UK drone operators who document physical boundaries, fencing, hedging, and encroachment with dated aerial evidence. Built for neighbour disputes, property sales, and Land Registry submissions where a walk-round with a tape will not do.

“Every drone pilot on this network is personally vetted by me — insurance, qualifications, flight history.”

"It's his fence" vs "it's my fence" ends here.

Solicitors, conveyancers, and landowners spend thousands on protracted boundary arguments with no objective evidence of the physical features on the ground. A dated aerial record changes the conversation overnight.

Disputes That Drag for Years

An unresolved boundary dispute can rack up £20k+ in legal fees and tank a property sale. A dated aerial record with OS overlays resolves most arguments in a single mediation session.

Encroachment Nobody Has Documented

A neighbour's shed, fence, or extension that creeps over the line becomes permanent if nobody evidences it early. A drone survey gives you a time-stamped record that protects adverse-possession and easement positions.

Title Plans Don't Match Reality

Registered title plans are general-boundary only. They do not tell you which side of the hedge, which post of the fence, or how thick the wall really is. A drone orthomosaic overlaid on OS Mastermap closes that gap.

Boundary evidence only holds up if it's defensible.

A hobbyist with a consumer drone can take nice pictures. What they cannot produce is a file pack a solicitor, mediator, or First-Tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) will actually accept as evidence.

Every boundary drone pilot on this network captures with time-stamped RTK metadata, lays the orthomosaic over licensed OS Mastermap, and produces a signed capture log describing the flight date, weather, altitude, and camera settings — the audit trail that turns a photo into evidence.

If the case ever escalates, your expert witness can cross-reference the raw EXIF-tagged imagery without a quibble.

Evidence-Grade Capture

Signed Capture Log & OS Overlay

A deliverable pack your solicitor can actually work with.

Our network operators produce boundary evidence that slots straight into conveyancing, mediation, and Land Registry workflows.

Annotated Orthomosaic

A distortion-free aerial image of the property and adjoining land with every fence line, hedge, wall, outbuilding, and encroachment pinned, labelled, and dimensioned. Print-ready for an expert report pack.

OS Mastermap Boundary Overlay

Your orthomosaic overlaid with licensed OS Mastermap features and Land Registry title plan red-lining. Shows at a glance where physical features sit relative to the general boundary on your title.

Photographic Evidence Pack

Dated ground-truth stills of every boundary feature with EXIF metadata intact, plus a signed capture-log cover sheet confirming flight date, weather, and drone operator credentials.

Book your boundary survey in 3 steps.

We connect you with the specific boundary-evidence specialists you need, instantly.

Describe the Dispute

Tell us the property address, what you are trying to evidence (fence line, hedge, encroachment, missing feature), and whether the survey is for pre-action, mediation, or Land Registry use.

Compare Specialists

We route your brief to drone pilots who regularly produce evidence-grade deliverables. You receive quotes with turnaround times and sample report extracts.

Capture & Deliver

Your drone pilot flies the property, produces the orthomosaic with OS overlay, assembles the photo evidence pack, and delivers everything via secure cloud link to you or your solicitor.

"Three years of stalemate over a 1.2-metre strip, resolved in one mediation once we had the drone orthomosaic on the table. The OS overlay made it impossible for the other side to keep arguing their line."

Stephen Okafor

Property Solicitor, Nottingham

"Instructed a drone survey ahead of a contested sale. The photographic evidence pack picked up two instances of encroachment from the adjoining owner that nobody had realised. Saved our buyer from inheriting the problem."

Amelia Sadler

Conveyancer, Exeter

"I needed a Determined Boundary application to stand up on its own. The drone deliverable paired with the signed capture log was accepted by the Land Registry without any follow-up request. Excellent work."

Boundary Survey FAQ

Technical questions on admissibility, Land Registry use, and deliverables.

Is drone imagery admissible in a boundary dispute?

Yes. Dated, time-stamped aerial imagery backed by a signed capture log is regularly accepted as real-evidence in the First-Tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) and in County Court boundary claims. It sits alongside traditional surveyor testimony rather than replacing it. Your expert or solicitor will typically reference it directly in their report.

Can the output support a Land Registry Determined Boundary application?

Yes. The drone orthomosaic and OS overlay are typically used alongside a chartered land surveyor's plan on a Determined Boundary DB application. The drone captures the physical features in fine detail, while the land surveyor certifies the plan to Land Registry accuracy standards. We can pair you with both where needed.

Do you need access to the neighbouring property?

Usually no. The drone flies from your own land or a public highway and captures both sides of the boundary aerially. Drone operators comply with CAA rules on uninvolved persons and take care over privacy; they will not hover persistently over neighbouring private space. If overflight consents are needed, your drone pilot will discuss it in advance.

How quickly can a boundary survey be completed?

Most residential boundary jobs can be flown within a week of brief submission subject to weather. Capture itself is typically 60–90 minutes on site. The full annotated deliverable pack is usually returned 3–5 working days after the flight. Urgent instructions ahead of a mediation or court deadline can be flagged in the brief.
