Why Hampshire Farmers Choose Drone Shading and Cleaning
Whether your glass sits in the humid, salt-tinged air along the Solent around Fareham and Titchfield, or out on the open chalk toward Winchester and Basingstoke with nothing to break the summer sun, the problem is the same size: a manual crew shading or cleaning a site of any scale is looking at weeks, not days. Long enough for the wind to blow grime back onto bays already cleaned, or for the heatwave to break before anyone reaches the far end.
Flying the site fixes both ends of that. Every square metre gets the same dose, the whole job takes hours instead of weeks, up to 5x faster than a manual crew, and nobody sets foot on a fragile roof from Southampton to Alton. We remove shading as readily as we apply it once the season turns, and emergency shading callouts can usually be handled within the week - call us and we'll sort a slot.
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.
Zero Asset Damage or Safety Hazards
Ground-based operations only. Our drones never touch your greenhouses or poly tunnels. 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.
