Why Dorset Farmers Choose Drone Shading and Cleaning
Growing under glass or plastic anywhere from the Blackmore Vale down to the Jurassic Coast, you get salt and grime off the Channel settling on the roof and quietly taking light off your crop - and hot spells on top of that. Doing either job by hand means weeks of ladder work in wind you'd rather not be up a ladder in, and by the time the crew finishes the far end, the bays they started on need doing again.
We fly the whole site instead. Shading agent or cleaning solution applied from above - up to 5x faster than hand application, the same dose on every square metre, and nobody on an exposed roof or a scaffold tower in the wind. The shading comes off as easily as it goes on, and we handle that removal for you when the light is worth more than the heat protection. Heatwave warning in and no cover on? We can usually get an emergency callout to you inside the week - call or email us.
With over a 1,000 hectares covered in 2026, we’ve worked with small nurseries all the way to national corporations to deliver reliable and professional drone shading and cleaning services - we’re here to help.

Advantages of Drone Shading and Cleaning
Fast Application
Complete coverage in just a few hours. What takes manual crews days to accomplish, our drones complete in hours. Cover large greenhouse complexes and multiple polytunnels in a single session, getting your climate control measures in place exactly when you need them.
Perfect Uniformity Every Time
Consistent shade means consistent crops. Eliminate patchy coverage and uneven light levels. Our precision spray system delivers uniform coating across every square centimetre of glass, ensuring all your plants receive optimal growing conditions. Don't leave proper shading of your greenhouses & poly tunnels to chance.
Dramatic Temperature Control
Cut internal heat by up to 5°C with ease. Apply professional-grade shading agents to create an effective thermal barrier that dramatically reduces greenhouse and poly tunnel temperatures. Keep your crops in their comfort zone even during the hottest summer days. Drones deploy product without risking damage to your installations.

No more workers on fragile roofs, no more cleaning tools risking damage to your tunnels, no scaffolding setup, no fall hazards - just a safe and professional service that protects your team, assets and your liability.
