Drone facade inspection in Montauban
In Montauban, damp rising from the Tarn marks the façades: saltpetre at street level, blistered render, soiled stone. Drone inspection covers the old centre's narrow streets and inner courtyards without closing the road. From Pont Vieux sur le Tarn to the outlying districts, our pilots know the terrain of Montauban and prepare every flight on the local aeronautical chart.
Montauban's economy relies on food and fruit production (Quercy melon, nearby Moissac chasselas grapes), growing logistics along the A62 and a fabric of construction SMEs. Local drone demand: precision agriculture and orchards, monitoring of the many residential projects of a fast-growing city, heritage and events. Prefecture of Tarn-et-Garonne, 50 km north of Toulouse, Montauban is one of the oldest bastide towns of the South-West: its Place Nationale with double rows of pink-brick arcades, the 14th-century Pont Vieux over the Tarn and the Ingres Bourdelle museum make remarkable aerial views.

Flying in Montauban: the local framework
In Montauban, façade inspection inside the no-fly area (Emprises du 17e régiment du génie parachutiste (survol interdit)) needs authorisation even a few metres from the building: we prepare the file with the managing agent or client and set the date once cleared.
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 Montauban: what budget should you plan?
Allow €300–1,200 per job — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. Build the overflight-authorisation lead time for Montauban into your schedule: several weeks depending on the case.
Does the drone replace scaffolding for a façade survey in Montauban?
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 Montauban.
Can you inspect a facade on a busy street?
Yes, with a specific-category flight declared to the préfecture and a ground safety perimeter managed by an assistant. We often work early in the morning to minimise disturbance to pedestrians.
