Accreditations & Qualifications

We take our legal and safety responsibilities seriously, so every pilot on our team works to the latest regulations and keeps their training up to date. All of our pilots hold the correct licences — PfCO, GVC and A2CofC — and continue with regular monthly flight practice and reviews. It keeps their skills sharp and makes sure every job is carried out safely and within the rules.

CAA Approved

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) oversees all aviation activity in the UK, and we operate under their requirements for every flight we carry out. Working within CAA rules isn’t just about ticking boxes — it’s what keeps every job safe, legal and reliable. It also gives our clients confidence that every flight follows the correct process from start to finish.

Drone Safe Register

We’re listed with the Drone Safe Register, the UK directory for recognised, qualified drone operators. It’s a simple way for clients to know they’re dealing with a professional team that follows the right procedures and works to a consistently high standard.

We were really impressed with how quickly Portal Drones stepped in. They came out the same day we called and worked into the evening to get the data back to us. With another survey company unable to attend for two days, their quick response saved us a huge amount of time on a time-critical job.

The drone footage really helped us get a detailed look at the whole site from a new angle. It’s such a big area that you can’t see everything clearly from the ground, but the images made it easy to spot how different parts of the land could be used. It gave us a much better understanding before making any big decisions. The team were great to deal with too - quick, friendly, and they knew exactly what we needed.

The drone survey was exactly what we required. One of our tenants had reported a leak and we’d been trying to track it down for weeks, and the guys at Portal Drones saved us hiring scaffolding to get up on the roof. The photos were really clear, and it helped us work out exactly where the issue was. Quick, easy, and no fuss - just what we needed.

Business Park Manager, Portal Business Park

"We were extremely impressed with the drone services provided. The aerial data capture was invaluable across all stages of our project — from pre-site surveys and boundary inspections to dilapidation surveys and detailed mapping. The photogrammetry helped our ground workers and key contractors install essential services like communications, energy, and drainage with greater accuracy and efficiency. A reliable and professional service that truly enhanced our workflow."

Ongoing Partnership for Surveys and FPV Flythroughs / Flyovers

We’ve been working with Eleanor Charles Homes since they launched back in 2017. They’re based close to us in Tarporley, so it didn’t take long before we started helping out with their early developments. They’ve built a name for themselves by putting up modern, energy-efficient homes, and we’ve supported them on a number of their sites as the business has grown.
