Why Somerset Farmers Choose Drone Shading and Cleaning
On the Levels and the vale ground around Taunton, Langport and Burrowbridge, the damp keeps a film of algae and grime on glass and polythene for most of the year. You know how that job goes with a ladder and a lance: by the time the crew reaches the last bay, the first one is going green again - and if it's shading you're chasing, the heatwave has usually broken before they're half way round the site.
We do the whole site from the air in one go. Uniform coverage in hours rather than weeks, up to 5x faster than a manual crew, and nothing and nobody touching your roofs or polytunnel skin. Shading goes on evenly across every square metre, and when you want the light back we come and take it off again. If you need shading on in a hurry, we can usually fit an emergency callout in within the week - get in touch.
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.
