🏢 FACADE INSPECTION · BASTIA (2B) · €300–1,200 PER JOB
Drone facade inspection in Bastia
Sea air attacks façades in Bastia: corroded rebar, blistered render, tired joints facing the Mediterranean. The drone examines every elevation in close-up, including seafronts a cherry picker cannot reach. From the town centre to the business parks, the pilots covering Bastia and its department (2B) match equipment and flight plan to each order.
Corsica's leading port and the island's gateway, Bastia squeezes its amphitheatre-shaped old harbour between the Saint-Jean-Baptiste church and the Genoese citadel of Terra Nova; Saint-Nicolas square, the rooftops of Terra Vecchia and the Cap Corse road make up the rest of the scenery. Bastia-Poretta airport (LFKB) lies 16 km south in the plain, but its CTR runs up the coastline: checks are required for any flight south of the city. The commercial port, vital to the island's supply chain, is a sensitive site. Bastia's economy rests on the port (France's leading international passenger port, serving Italy and the mainland), commerce, the Haute-Corse administration and food production (clementines, nearby Patrimonio wines).

Flight rules in Bastia
Flying along a façade in Bastia remains possible under the controlled airspace (CTR de l'aéroport de Bastia-Poretta (LFKB) au sud): these very-low-height flights, hugging the building, need a simple protocol our pilot sets up.
Façade inspection is flown close to the building, generally in the specific category in town (prior declaration) with a ground safety perimeter; outside built-up areas the open category is usually enough. Full regulations and rates: facade inspection across France →

Frequently asked questions
Facade inspection in Bastia: what budget should you plan?
Allow €300–1,200 per job — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Bastia, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.
Does the drone replace scaffolding for a façade survey in Bastia?
For the survey itself, yes in most cases: the drone photographs every defect in high definition from base to cornice, at a fraction of scaffolding cost. If contact testing proves necessary, the report pinpoints where — a real saving for buildings in Bastia.
How accurate is the photographic survey?
At 5 m from the facade, resolution reaches roughly 1 mm per pixel: microcracks, joint defects and early corrosion are clearly identifiable and measurable on the images.
