Save time, cut costs and boost yields, work smarter with drones
Transform your operation with precision drone spraying, spreading and cleaning.
Trusted by:
Transform how you spray, shade and maintain your crops or assets. We offer precision drone services that cut costs and save time.
Agricultural spraying: 19 ha/h coverage, up to 50% less chemical use, zero soil compaction, and rotor downwash that drives product deeper into the canopy than any boom sprayer can.
Agricultural spreading: GPS-guided precision across wet ground, steep slopes, and standing crops at up to 1,300 kg/h - terrain and conditions that stop ground machinery entirely.
Greenhouse and poly tunnel shading and cleaning: Full roof coverage in hours. No workers on fragile structures, no ladders, no scaffolding - and a uniformity of application that manual crews cannot reliably achieve.
Solar panel cleaning: Long-term soiling costs up to 10% of output. Drone cleaning restores peak generation up to 5x faster than manual methods, with zero panel contact and no workers at height.
Every job is CAA-certified, HSE-compliant, and delivered with full digital coverage records as standard.

Our Services
Agricultural Spraying
Spray wet ground your tractor has to skip, without crushing the crop.
Flying above the field instead of driving through it, the drone puts no wheels down - so waterlogged land your sprayer has to wait out gets treated on schedule, with no tram lines and no trampled crop. Onboard NDVI imaging maps the field guiding centimetre-accurate application exactly where it's needed down to the root level.
Advantages:
- Spot-on precision: NDVI-guided variable rate and spot treatment cut input waste, using up to 94% less water than boom sprayers.
- Recover lost yield: Zero wheel traffic helps recover 2-5% yield per season from eliminated soil and crop damage.
- Lower fuel costs: Up to 50% less fuel use than tractor-based spraying, with no wasted passes over ground that doesn't need treating.
Agricultural Spreading
Spread, seed and fertiliser straight into a standing crop without any ground compaction.
Drones pass directly over a growing crop without a wheel touching the ground - opening up cover cropping, overseeding and companion cropping that a tractor would otherwise trample. The same aerial access covers waterlogged fields and steep slopes that are simply off-limits to ground machinery.
Advantages:
- Less product, less waste: Up to 15% less spreadable product used through precision, gap-free GPS-guided coverage.
- Recover lost yield: Zero wheel traffic helps recover 2-5% yield per season from eliminated soil and crop damage.
- Overseeding, Cover Cropping, Underseeding and Companion cropping: all done with ease over standing crops & grassland. With rotor down draft pushing product down to the root level.
Poly Tunnel Shading & Cleaning
Shade and clean every tunnel without a worker or cleaning pole anywhere near your asset.
Because the drone treats every surface from the air rather than a crew working around fragile plastic roofing, there's no ladders, scaffolding or MEWPs involved and no risk of a cleaning pole going through your plastic. The same aerial pass reaches awkward gulleys and end walls that manual crews often miss, applying shading or cleaning agents in even, gap-free coverage.
Advantages:
- Every square metre covered: Uniform application eliminates the missed patches and over-application common with manual application.
- Much faster than manual methods, so more tunnels get covered in a single day.
- On-demand heatwave cover: apply shading in days before a heatwave hits vs weeks via manual application.
Solar Panel Cleaning
Recover 3-7% of lost power output, without workers at height.
Moderate soiling quietly cuts a panel's output long before it's visible to the eye. Because the drone treats roof and ground arrays alike with deionised water from the air, panels are never touched and no one needs a ladder, scaffold or harness to reach them.
Advantages:
- Works on any array: Hard-to-reach roof installations and large ground-mounted farms are cleaned just as fast, with no access equipment required.
- Faster than manual cleaning, minimising system downtime and asset damage risk while output is restored.
- Zero contact: Panels are never touched, removing the risk of scratches or micro-cracks from manual cleaning equipment.
Greenhouse Shading & Cleaning
3-10°C cooler glasshouses, applied without roof access.
Professional-grade shading agents go on in uniform passes across the whole roof, cutting internal temperatures and protecting high-value crops from scorch during a heatwave with incredibly fast application.
Advantages:
- Every pane covered: Uniform coverage across the whole roof eliminates the gaps and drip marks that come with manual application, so there's no patchy scorch protection.
- No workers on fragile glass: Fully ground-controlled operation removes the fall risk of manual rooftop work.
- On-demand heatwave cover: apply shading in days before a heatwave hits vs weeks via manual application.
