About Drone Assisted
UK wide commercial drone services powered by a verified pilot network
Drone Assisted was founded to solve a simple problem: enterprise clients, insurers, surveyors, property managers and emergency responders need drone data on demand, at consistent quality, anywhere in the UK. Drone Assisted delivers that as a managed national service, and businesses can use the network today.
We work with UK insurers and commercial clients, and every assignment runs through the same managed process: brief, assessment, pilot matching, quality control and delivery. Our verified pilot network continues to grow, adding coverage and specialist capability across the UK.
Our Background
Drone Assisted has been built around extensive experience in professional drone operations and aviation compliance.
Our focus is on ensuring every assignment is planned, managed and delivered to the highest professional and industry standards. From pilot competency and regulatory compliance through to operational planning, risk management and on-site delivery, we take a structured and professional approach to every job.
This operational expertise allows our clients to use drone services with confidence, knowing that work is being undertaken safely, responsibly and in accordance with the appropriate regulatory requirements.
Our aim is simple: to make accessing professional drone services straightforward while maintaining consistently high standards across every operation.
Leadership
Drone Assisted is led by a team with extensive experience in building and leading successful, long standing businesses at scale.
That experience shapes how we operate today. Reliability, transparency and customer value are at the heart of our decision making, with a clear focus on delivering consistently high standards and positive outcomes for every client.
We believe strong businesses are built on trust and long term relationships. That means doing what we say we will do, communicating clearly and ensuring the service we provide delivers genuine value to our customers.
These principles underpin Drone Assisted and the way we work with our clients, pilots and partners.
Operational expertise
- Pilot vetting covering CAA registration, competency, third party insurance and references.
- Documented pre flight risk assessment and site specific planning on every assignment.
- Structured deliverables built around insurer and surveyor evidence requirements.
- Airspace and permission checks appropriate to each aircraft, site and planned operation.
- Central quality control, so output stays consistent whichever pilot attends.
What we stand for
Verified & insured
Every pilot is verified for identity, commercial drone insurance, CAA registration and the competency or authorisations relevant to the work they undertake.
Nationwide coverage
From central London to the Highlands, we build regional density so every job is filled by a pilot who knows the area.
Insurance-grade quality
Built in partnership with major UK insurers. The deliverables meet the standards their claims and underwriting teams already work to.
One point of contact
You brief Drone Assisted, not a marketplace. We handle dispatch, airspace, quality control and delivery end to end.
How we're different
Drone Assisted is not an open marketplace. Every pilot is CAA registered, insured to £5m+, reference checked and quality audited before their first job. That means the client gets consistent output regardless of which pilot flies, and pilots get to compete on skill, not on price alone.
Verified before they fly
Pilots are CAA registered, carry £5m+ public liability insurance, pass reference checks and complete a quality audit before taking their first job. Clients see consistent output, whatever the location.
Enterprise-grade, from day one
We built the network around insurer requirements: documented risk assessments, structured deliverables, chain of custody on imagery, and clear liability. The same standard applies from a £250 residential roof inspection to a £5,000 multi-site industrial survey.
Where we operate
Coverage is UK-wide, with density in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Bristol, Glasgow, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Newcastle and Sheffield.
Compliance & credentials
- Pilots must hold the registrations, competency and any additional qualifications or authorisations required for the work they accept, with training completed through a CAA approved training provider where applicable.
- Operator and Flyer IDs are held on the CAA drone and model aircraft register.
- All operators carry commercial public liability insurance to £5m minimum.
- Aligned with the professional standards promoted by industry body ARPAS UK.
- Data handling is aligned to UK GDPR. See our Privacy Policy and Data Sharing Statement.
