Drone facade inspection in Chartres

Free quote — facade inspection in Chartres

Before renovating a façade in Chartres, a drone survey prevents nasty site surprises: cracks, spalling and hollow-sounding areas are mapped over the building's full elevation. In Chartres as across the department (28), a local pilot travels with the equipment the mission requires — free quote within one working day.

Prefecture of Eure-et-Loir, Chartres is dominated by its Notre-Dame cathedral, UNESCO-listed since 1979: its two dissimilar spires, visible for kilometres above the Beauce plain, its "Chartres blue" stained glass and its crypt make it a mythic aerial subject — subject to monument and urban-area authorisations. The lower town on the Eure, its bridges and wash-houses, and the Chartres en Lumières light festival complete the picture. Chartres-Champhol aerodrome (LFOR) borders the city to the north-east. The local economy relies on the Cosmetic Valley — the world's leading perfumery-cosmetics cluster (Guerlain, LVMH nearby) —, Beauce agro-industry and services.
