Drone roof inspection in Pau
Snow, frost and thaw cycles punish roofs in Pau: the drone checks ridges, chimney stacks and flashing after winter, without climbing slippery slopes, and delivers a dated photo report. From Boulevard des Pyrénées to the outlying districts, our pilots know the terrain of Pau and prepare every flight on the local aeronautical chart.
Pau's sky is heavily military: the army light aviation school and the 5th combat helicopter regiment operate from Pau-Uzein and its training areas, while the civil airport shares the same platform north of the city — protocols and helicopter vigilance are the norm. Airborne troops from the neighbouring base add parachute drops in restricted areas. The Béarn market rests on the Boulevard des Pyrénées and its mountain panorama — a prime aerial subject —, Henri IV's birthplace castle, the oil and geosciences cluster (TotalEnergies at Lacq-Pau), the Pau Grand Prix street circuit with its one-off restrictions, and the pastoral valleys of Ossau and Aspe thirty minutes away.

Flying in Pau: the local framework
Roof inspections in Pau happen at very low height, which remains compatible with the nearby controlled airspace (Plateforme de Pau-Uzein (aéroport civil et hélicoptères militaires)) under the right protocol: the extra lead time is days, not weeks.
Roof inspection is flown in the open category directly above the inspected building, below 50 m; in dense urban areas a specific-category declaration covers flight near third parties. Full regulations and rates: roof inspection across France →

Frequently asked questions
Roof inspection in Pau: what budget should you plan?
Allow €200–650 per job — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Pau, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.
When should you have your roof inspected in Pau?
After every high-wind or hail event, before buying a property, and ideally once a year in spring. The Nouvelle-Aquitaine climate wears tiles, slates and flashings differently: the photo report locates each defect on the roof and prioritises repairs.
Can you inspect a very steep roof or a bell tower?
That is exactly the drone's strength: steep slopes, bell towers, spires and towers are inspected without ropes or scaffolding, with images taken a few metres from the surface thanks to obstacle-avoidance sensors.
