Gunn Access & Drone

Inspection Without Scaffolding

Scaffolding, cherry pickers and access towers are slow to arrange and expensive to hire. Gunn Access & Drone reaches the same places faster, on the ropes or in the air. From roofs, chimneys and façades to bridges, steelwork and confined spaces, you get close visual inspection, clear photographic evidence and honest recommendations, with minimal disruption to your site.

The Smarter Way

Drone First. Ropes Where It Counts.

Combining both disciplines is what sets us apart. The drone finds the problems and the ropes get hands on them. One visit, one report, no scaffolding.

1

Drone Survey

A rapid aerial survey covers the whole structure in high resolution and pinpoints areas of concern.

2

Targeted Rope Access

Where closer examination is needed, we go hands-on for close visual inspection, testing and immediate minor repairs.

3

Clear Reporting

You receive clear photographic documentation of defects, with practical recommendations for repair or further investigation.
