Historic Buildings and Heritage Sites require specialised knowledge and precise inspection. By combining three decades of construction knowledge with advanced drone technology, we deliver fast, safe and fully insured aerial services. From intricate architectural roof inspections to cinematic FPV fly-throughs.

What our Heritage Colleagues say ..

“From the very beginning, Teresa and Ian were professional, approachable and exceptionally well organised. Their communication throughout the project was outstanding, keeping us informed at every stage and making what could have been a complicated process feel straightforward and stress-free.

The quality of the drone footage exceeded our expectations. The imagery is beautifully captured, providing not only stunning promotional material for our churches and social media, but also a valuable record of our buildings that can assist with monitoring their condition and identifying potential maintenance issues.

Working with historic church buildings requires care, sensitivity and attention to detail, and Etcha demonstrated all of these in abundance. They were incredibly accommodating in working with the needs of each church, willingly helping us navigate the various permissions required. They provided clear evidence of their qualifications, insurance and operating credentials, carried out comprehensive risk assessments for every location, and ensured that the appropriate permissions were obtained where necessary, including liaising with the local airport before flights.

Throughout the project, Teresa and Ian inspired complete confidence. They combined technical expertise with genuine professionalism, and it was clear that they wanted the project to succeed as much as we did.

I would recommend Etcha without hesitation to churches, charities, businesses and heritage organisations looking for high-quality aerial photography and videography. They deliver exceptional results while maintaining the highest standards of safety, professionalism and customer care.

"Exceptional image quality, backed by excellent communication."

"Professional from start to finish."

"A company you can trust with even the most complex filming locations."

On behalf of everyone in the Trent and Derwent Benefice, thank you, Teresa and Ian, for helping us showcase our churches so beautifully.”

“Having recently worked with Etcha Studios, we have been most impressed by the quality of their results and professionalism. From the outset, Ian and Teresa have been a pleasure to work with. They understood the importance and significance of the site securing excellent video footage which captured the beauty of the windmill and its surroundings. Their edited results are stunning and we look forward to working with them again in the future.”
