The CalonTerra Difference

Independent Data Collection. We are not roofers.

As professional drone surveyors, our goal is Digital Aerial Intelligence, not repair commissions. Because we do not sell roofing services, we have zero incentive to find unnecessary faults.

Our data is impartial, irrefutable, and evidence-grade—perfect for insurance claims, pre-purchase surveys, and commercial asset management across Gwent and Glamorgan.

Evidence-Grade Reports

  • 📍 High-Res 4K Imaging
  • 📍 Thermal Leak Detection
  • 📍 ISO 19650 Compliance
  • 📍 Impartial Expert Witness

See exactly what lands in your inbox — a real annotated condition report, no sign-up needed.

Keeper's Pond: The Ice Rush

FEATURED IN WALES ONLINE | JAN 2026

CalonTerra was deployed to capture high-resolution aerial intelligence of the traffic infrastructure load at Keeper's Pond (Pen-ffordd-goch) during recent heavy snowfall.

Our imagery was featured as the lead story in WalesOnline, highlighting our capability to operate safely in sub-zero environments where standard access is impossible.

"Drone images capture the crowds at beauty spot in the icy weather... A stunning sight at Keeper's Pond."

"Marcus helped us out last week. We were struggling to find someone to check my roof after the storm so close to Christmas... he found a few cracked tiles that were letting in water. Really grateful for his help. Definitely worth 5 stars."

Partnerships, Funding & Community Work

Who we work alongside, who has backed us, and who we have helped.

CalonTerra survey vehicle alongside South Wales Fire and Rescue Service appliances at the Blaenavon wildfire incident command point, Torfaen
Community Response — Voluntary

South Wales Fire and Rescue Service

In July 2026 a wildfire took hold on the hillsides above Blaenavon in Torfaen. We took our survey unit to the incident and flew for South Wales Fire and Rescue Service free of charge, giving crews an overhead picture of the fire edge and the ground beyond it that they could not safely get from the road.

Flown at no cost as a volunteer asset under the direction of the incident commander. CalonTerra is an independent operator and is not an emergency service contractor.
