Trading as Remote Pilot Aircraft Services Ltd · Telford · Service area: Telford, Shropshire
Remote Pilot Aircraft Services in short
Remote Pilot Aircraft Services Ltd is a Telford specialist drone company covering filming, mapping, inspections and virtual tours. The company behind the name has been active since spring 2021. For survey-grade data such as digital twins and thermal imaging, the stated range runs deeper than most local rivals. Emergency-service operations hint at harder test environments.
The record names roof inspections, two- and three-dimensional mapping, digital twins, thermal imaging and emergency-service operations across its site and register profile. Contact runs through phone, email and an enquiry form with a call number on the profile. Office, phone and email routes cover first contact. No prices, insurance details or public reviews appear on the record.
The gap that matters sits on the company's own register profile, which marks its CAA permission expired at the end of August 2023. An expired permission fails the registration requirement our table requires to be sourced. No public reviews were found to set beside the technical range.
Our judgement leaves Remote Pilot Aircraft Services a technically deep option held back by one decisive gap: without a current CAA registration it sits outside our ranked table. For survey-grade drone data from a limited company, the capability reads well and the paperwork does not. Capability without currency is the story in one line. A claimed listing with renewed registration would change the picture.
Our verdict
Our judgement: Remote Pilot suits you if you want a Telford specialist for survey-grade drone data, with an active company behind it since 2021 [1] [3]. The gap that matters is the expired CAA permission shown on its register profile [2]. No reviews, insurance details or prices appear on the public record.

Questions about Remote Pilot Aircraft Services
Is Remote Pilot Aircraft Services any good?
The capability reads well but the paperwork does not: roof inspections, mapping, digital twins and thermal imaging sit beside an expired CAA permission on its own register profile. No public reviews exist to test the claims. The limited company behind the name dates to spring 2021. Renewed registration would allow a firmer view.
Is Remote Pilot Aircraft Services registered with the CAA?
No current registration can be sourced: its Drone Safe Register profile marks the CAA permission expired at the end of August 2023. Drone Safe Register membership itself is stated on the same profile. This is why the company sits outside the ranked table. A claimed listing with renewed registration would change the picture.
What does Remote Pilot Aircraft Services charge?
It publishes no prices, rates or VAT position on its site or its profile. Survey-grade briefs vary by sensor, site and deliverable, which is why the company quotes per job. Sensor choice with site size shapes the first estimate. Send the site details with the data you need back. An itemised fixed quote is the thing to compare.
Where does Remote Pilot Aircraft Services work?
The company is based in Madeley, Telford, with phone, email and enquiry-form contact routes. Filming, mapping and inspection briefs suit that local base. Emergency-service operations point to wider call-outs. Madeley postcodes sit closest to the base. Wider call-outs follow the emergency-service line. Send your postcode with the site details to confirm cover.
How do I get a quote from Remote Pilot Aircraft Services?
Quotes run through the phone, email and enquiry form on the company site, with a call number and message route on the register profile. Send the site, the sensors involved and the data format you need. The technical range gives a starting point. An itemised fixed quote is the response to look for.
What do the reviews say about Remote Pilot Aircraft Services?
No public reviews were found, so there is nothing to quote back. That leaves the technical claims standing beside an expired permission. Technical claims wait on customer voices. An unreviewed company can still do good work, but the evidence is not there yet. Weigh the missing reviews against the registration gap together.
How does Remote Pilot Aircraft Services compare with the others in the round?
It sits outside the ranked six over an expired CAA permission rather than weak capability. Against the ranked surveyors it offers deeper sensors with less valid paperwork. Wrekin Geo answers with stated authorisation and insurance. Paperwork currency decides between them today. Its edge is technical range; its gap is current registration.
How is Remote Pilot Aircraft Services ranked?
It is not ranked. The company was researched to the same depth but sits outside the table because its register profile marks the CAA permission expired. It can claim its listing and send renewed paperwork for reassessment in the next round. Renewal with reassessment is the route back. Its review reads best beside the ranked six.
