Drone aerial thermal imaging in Arras
In Arras, aerial thermography primarily serves energy renovation: it visualises heat loss from every roof and façade, an objective baseline for insulation work on Hauts-de-France homes and residential blocks. With 41,555 inhabitants, Arras generates steady demand in Hauts-de-France: a pilot covering the area prices your mission within one working day.
The Arras economy blends administration, food processing (Ingredia), logistics on the Paris-Lille axis and growing remembrance tourism.

Local regulations: flying in Arras
Thermographic flights in Arras happen at low height over the building, compatible with the controlled airspace (Aérodrome d'Arras-Roclincourt (LFQD)) after a protocol: the dawn slots needed for measurement are built into the coordination.
Drone thermography follows building-inspection rules — open category above the site, specific category in dense areas — plus the sensor's own constraint: flying at times of strong thermal contrast. Full regulations and rates: aerial thermal imaging across France →

Frequently asked questions
Aerial thermal imaging in Arras: what budget should you plan?
Allow €500–1,800 per job — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. In Arras, coordination with the local airspace is included in the quote and arranged within a few days.
When is the best time for thermography in Arras?
Heating season, October to March: you need at least a 10 °C gap between inside and outside for meaningful readings. In Arras (Hauts-de-France), winter dawn slots give the best contrast; for photovoltaics it is the opposite — full summer sun.
What time of year should building thermography be done?
From October to April, when the gap between the heated interior and the outside reaches at least 10°C. Flights take place early in the morning, before the sun warms the walls and skews the readings.
