How We Work.

Safety, compliance, and permissions. Sorted. 

We operate with aviation led safety processes, site risk assessments, and regulatory compliance.

Clear process - calm delivery evidence you can trust

At SkyEye NW, we work with clients who need reliable information to make decisions. Our approach is structured, transparent, and built around aviation discipline; meaning every survey is planned carefully, carried out safely, and reported clearly.

Whether you manage buildings, land, or energy assets, our aim is the same; to give you usable evidence without disruption or unnecessary complexity.

Step 1: Understand the decision you need to make

Every project starts with a conversation. We focus on what you are trying to confirm or decide; not simply on flying a drone.

We will discuss:

  • The type of site and its use

  • The issue you are investigating; heat loss, moisture, drainage, performance, or condition

  • Timescales and operational constraints

  • Whether thermal imaging is the right tool for your question

If thermal surveying is not appropriate, we will tell you. Honesty at this stage saves time and cost later.

Step 2: Plan the survey properly

Good results come from good planning. Drawing on aviation best practice, we plan each survey methodically.

This includes:

  • Site review and access considerations

  • Safety planning and risk assessment

  • Flight planning and timing to suit thermal conditions

  • Permissions and regulatory compliance

  • Agreeing deliverables and reporting format in advance

This preparation ensures surveys run smoothly on the day and deliver consistent, reliable data.

Step 3: On site data capture

On site, we work calmly and efficiently, with minimal disruption to people and operations.

You can expect:

  • Professional, safety first behaviour

  • Clear communication with site contacts

  • Structured flight patterns for repeatability where required

  • Capture of both thermal and high resolution visual imagery

Our aviation led approach means nothing is rushed; and nothing important is missed.

Step 4: Analysis and interpretation

Thermal data only becomes valuable when it is interpreted correctly. We review imagery carefully and assess findings in context.

This includes:

  • Comparing thermal and visual images

  • Identifying patterns and anomalies

  • Considering environmental and site conditions

  • Avoiding overstatement or assumptions

Where appropriate, we will highlight limitations and suggest further investigation rather than drawing unsupported conclusions.

Step 5: Clear reporting and delivery

You receive a tidy, structured report designed for decision makers.

Typically, this includes:

  • Key findings and priority areas

  • Annotated thermal and visual images

  • Location references to support follow up works

  • Practical commentary in plain English

Reports can be formatted to support contractors, maintenance teams, insurers, or asset managers.

Step 6: Ongoing support and repeat surveys

Many clients use SkyEye NW as a repeat partner rather than a one off supplier.

We can support:

  • Seasonal or annual comparison surveys

  • Post repair validation

  • Asset monitoring programmes

  • Stakeholder or board level summary material

Consistency of data capture and reporting allows meaningful comparison over time.

What clients value most

  • A calm, professional presence on site

  • Aviation led safety and discipline

  • Honest advice about what thermal can and cannot show

  • Clear outputs that reduce guesswork

  • Evidence that supports confident decision making
