Drone Services
Based in Harrogate, Rise offer drone services Nationwide across a broad range of exceptional clients.
All of our pilots are CAA approved and hold the A2 Certificate of Competency. We hold insurance compliant with regulations EC 785/2004, those that define the insurance requirements for air carriers and operators.
We have developed an established network of outstanding creatives who share our vision. We regularly collaborate with this family of creatives on projects. If clients needs extend beyond aerial visuals, we have the ability to fill any gap.
Our network is further bolstered with the relationships we have built with Chartered Surveyors who we collaborate with on roof inspections and surveys. The aim is to provide clients with a selection of tailored packages, allowing clients to select a package that best suits their specific requirements and budget.
Our Story
Henry Briggs founded Rise in 2019 after a decade working in the property industry. Though drones were beginning to find their place in the property industry, Henry identified a gap in the quality of output and creativity being offered by existing pilots. It was this gap that inspired Henry to Rise to the challenge.
The vision was to redefine the conventional image of a drone pilot, transcending the uninspired point and shoot approach and unleash a creative flow and meticulous attention to detail when planning and executing property shoots. The goal was and continues to be achieving the best quality output for clients.
By now, we are confident that we at Rise have done our bit to change the conventional image of a drone pilot, but we continue to work tirelessly to uphold our unwavering commitment to excellence. We are not pilots, we are creators capturing the spirit of the locations, properties and businesses that we shoot.
Drone Photography
We are grateful to be trusted by our partners to capture some of the most breathtaking and unique properties that the uk has to offer.
We have been fortunate to be involved in a rich variety of projects. You name it, we've shot it. Exquisite £5m+ residential homes & historic country estates, £250m+ residential development schemes, vast commercial premises, production warehouses, festival set-ups, weddings, schools, community projects, cars, beer manufacturers, and even an abandoned WW1 fort 5km offshore.

Drone Videography
Where photographs capture the beauty, videos tell the story.
Aerial videography brings these stories to new heights, allowing new angles and perspectives to be explored and captured. No other medium can demonstrate the scale and size of a location in the majestic way that drones do. We frequently work alongside our network of like-minded ground based videographers to marry the ground with the skies to capture and tell stories on behalf of our clients.
For Rise, videography doesn't end in the sky. The internal range of motion achieveable with a drone far surpasses that of a handheld camera and gimbal or slider in large indoor spaces. While the former remain undoubtedly crucial, we've found drones to be an exceptional accessory to obtain footage from creative angles and present large internal spaces visually in a way that ground level equipment cannot.

Drone Roof Inspections
Rise carry out a significant amount of work on behalf of block managing agents and hotel managing agents to routinely inspect their buildings to identify and record defects, along with satisfying their compliance and insurance requirements.
Access via drone is a fraction of the cost of traditional means of access and eliminates the health and safety risks of working at height.
We have three packages available to suit a range of different clients and needs. Roof inspections, roof condition reports, and full roof surveys. More detail can be found by clicking 'see more' below.
