Drone facade inspection in Périgueux

Free quote — facade inspection in Périgueux

Quayside buildings exposed to the damp of the Isle, old façades in the centre, recent blocks: in Périgueux, the drone photographs every elevation with a telephoto lens, detects cracks and delamination, and feeds renovation files. The quote reflects the realities on the ground in Périgueux: site access, the department's airspace context (24) and the expected deliverable — reply within one working day.

Prefecture of the Dordogne, Périgueux layers two thousand years of history: the Vesunna tower and the Gallo-Roman domus showcased by Jean Nouvel, the medieval-Renaissance quarter with golden lanes, and above all Saint-Front cathedral — Byzantine domes and turrets, UNESCO-listed under the Way of St James, which inspired Paris's Sacré-Cœur. From the air, Saint-Front's silhouette above the Isle river is one of France's most singular. Périgueux-Bassillac aerodrome (LFBX) to the east is the main aeronautical point of attention. Capital of the white Périgord, the city lives on gastronomy (truffles, foie gras, markets), tourism, printing (France's postage stamps are printed in Boulazac) and services.

The airspace context in Périgueux

Flying along a façade in Périgueux remains possible under the controlled airspace (Aérodrome de Périgueux-Bassillac (LFBX)): 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 Périgueux: what budget should you plan?

Allow €300–1,200 per job — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Périgueux, 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 Périgueux?

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 Périgueux.

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.
