Drone aerial thermal imaging in Périgueux

Free quote — aerial thermal imaging in Périgueux

In Périgueux, the thermal camera reveals what damp from the Isle and Nouvelle-Aquitaine winters do to buildings: thermal bridges, wet insulation, network leaks. One flight at daybreak maps an entire building. From Cathédrale Saint-Front (UNESCO) to the outlying districts, our pilots know the terrain of Périgueux and prepare every flight on the local aeronautical chart.

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.

€500–1,800 per job — the range observed on the 2026 French market, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. The exact quote depends on the site, the deliverable and the airspace context in Périgueux.

Flight rules in Périgueux

Thermographic flights in Périgueux happen at low height over the building, compatible with the controlled airspace (Aérodrome de Périgueux-Bassillac (LFBX)) 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 Périgueux: what budget should you plan?

Allow €500–1,800 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.

When is the best time for thermography in Périgueux?

Heating season, October to March: you need at least a 10 °C gap between inside and outside for meaningful readings. In Périgueux (Nouvelle-Aquitaine), winter dawn slots give the best contrast; for photovoltaics it is the opposite — full summer sun.

Does the thermal camera measure exact temperatures?

Yes, provided a calibrated radiometric camera is used and material emissivity and ambient conditions are entered: typical accuracy is then ±2°C, sufficient for any building or photovoltaic survey.
