FAQs
- 01What is drone cleaning and how does it work?
Drone cleaning uses aerial drones fitted with high pressure or soft wash systems to clean roofs, windows, solar panels, cladding, and façades efficiently and safely, without scaffolding or lifts.
- 02What qualifications and licenses do you hold?
Our lead pilots hold the CAA GVC (General Visual Line of Sight Certificate) and are fully licensed to operate commercially in the UK. We are also manufacturer trained and hold a CAA-approved Operational Safety Case (OSC), allowing us to carry out advanced operations in complex environments.
- 03Is drone cleaning safe?
Yes. We follow strict safety protocols governed by the CAA and aligned with HSE standards. All work is carried out by certified professionals, and site-specific RAMS are completed for every job.
- 04Are there any operational restrictions?
Our only limitations are weather related high winds, heavy rain, or solar interference. However, as a local North West-based team, we offer flexible scheduling and adapt to changing forecasts.
- 05Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for both public liability and chemical-related operations. Proof of insurance can be provided upon request and is kept current in line with our equipment and operations.
- 06What surfaces can you clean?
We clean roofs, solar panels, windows, cladding, render, brick, and more. Cleaning methods are tailored for each surface soft wash or high-pressure, depending on condition and material.
- 07How much does drone cleaning cost?
Pricing is based on the size, duration, and complexity of the project. Following a site inspection, we provide a clear, itemised quote. As a specialist team with low overheads, we offer competitive rates without compromising on safety or quality.
- 08Do I need to supply water or electricity?
No. Our system is mobile and fully equipped. We can bring water and power if required, which will be confirmed during the inspection.
- 09Do you offer aerial footage or inspection reports?
Yes. We provide optional HD drone footage for condition assessments or to document completed work.
- 10Can I set up regular drone cleaning visits?
Yes. We offer scheduled maintenance plans tailored to your building or site. Regular cleaning is often more cost effective, helps prevent buildup, and reduces the need for intensive cleans later on.

We serve Liverpool and the wider North West, including Manchester, Cheshire, Warrington, Wirral, Preston, Chester, and surrounding areas. We also take on UK-wide projects depending on the scope. Just get in touch to discuss your location.
