Absolutely amazing. We used the team to for aerial photography at our wedding and i couldn't have been happier with the results. The drone footage gave us such a unique view of the day and captured the venue and all the little details in a way that traditional photography just can't. The team were really professional and discrete on the day, and the final footage was absolutely beautiful. It's so special having these moments from a completely different perspective. Would 100% recommend. Thank you team!😊😊

I was impressed with the service from start to finish. The team were professional, friendly and made the whole process so straightforward. Having the roof surveyed by drone was so much easier and less intrusive than the usual scaffolding especially when you have dogs who usually bark their head off when anyone comes near by. The results gave us a really clear view of the condition of the roof (spoiler it definitely needs a clean and a couple new tiles). Would definitely recommend their services! Thanks Dave and Cal!

I recently used Dave at Stratus Intelligence for a building inspection and was very impressed with the service. Dave was professional, knowledgeable and easy to deal with throughout. He provided excellent aerial footage and clear images that were really helpful and gave me exactly what I needed. I would definitely recommend Dave and Stratus Intelligence to anyone needing this type of service. 5 stars!

I had a project come up in the Yardley area. David was amazing! I needed to survey the ridge tiles and mortar joints on the chimney. I normally would have used a ladder/car ladder to access the roof. The quality of pictures from the drone was phenomenal and it saved me loads of time. I'd highly recommend this service.
