Services
UAV Roof & Building Inspections
High-resolution aerial inspections of roofs, façades and elevated structures without the need for scaffolding or access equipment. Ideal for condition surveys, defect identification and maintenance planning.
Thermal Imaging Surveys
Advanced aerial and ground based thermography used to detect heat loss, insulation failure, moisture ingress and hidden structural issues within commercial buildings.
Solar PV Thermal Inspections
Thermal inspection of solar PV installations to identify hotspots, faulty cells, string failures and underperforming panels. Aerial surveys allow large installations to be assessed quickly and safely while supporting preventative maintenance and asset optimisation.
Asset & Infrastructure Inspections
Detailed aerial inspections of plant, equipment and critical building assets where traditional access is difficult, costly or disruptive.
Mapping & Orthomosaic Surveys
High-resolution aerial mapping and orthomosaic imaging to support site documentation, asset management and project planning.
Why Work With SmartTech Services
Engineering experience matters when carrying out technical inspections.
Many UAV operators focus primarily on capturing imagery. SmartTech Services approaches inspections from an engineering perspective, understanding how commercial buildings, infrastructure and solar installation’s function and what potential defects or performance issues may indicate.
By combining technical engineering expertise with advanced UAV inspection technology, we provide reliable inspection data that supports informed maintenance decisions and protects valuable assets.
About SmartTech Services
SmartTech Services is led by a Technical Director with over 25 years of multi-discipline engineering experience. For the past six years, the company has operated as a trusted specialist subcontractor supporting major organisations, including Mitie FM delivering high-level installations, inspections and maintenance across critical commercial infrastructure.
Our approach bridges traditional engineering expertise with advanced aerial inspection technology. Using state of the art UAV thermal imaging and mapping systems, we provide accurate, data-driven insights that help organisations assess building performance, identify defects early and protect high-value assets.
By combining decades of hands-on engineering experience with modern aerial diagnostics, SmartTech Services delivers professional, reliable inspection services for asset managers, facilities teams, infrastructure operators and solar PV asset owners.
A sub-string fault indicates that an internal section of a solar panel (typically one-third) is failing due to a faulty bypass diode or internal connection. Unlike external damage, these are specific manufacturing defects that significantly reduce power output. Identifying these anomalies provides the precise technical evidence needed to support a manufacturer warranty claim, ensuring you receive the replacement modules you are entitled to.
Individual cell faults, such as hotspots or micro-cracks, create "choke points" that force energy to dissipate as intense heat. Over time, this thermal stress can degrade the panel’s protective backing, leading to cracked glass or potential fire risks. Detecting these localised failures early allows for a targeted single-panel replacement, protecting the rest of your array and preventing a minor defect from becoming a major safety hazard.
Water retains heat differently than dry building materials. This thermal scan reveals trapped moisture that is invisible to the naked eye. Finding these leaks early prevents structural rot, mold growth, and incredibly expensive internal ceiling damage before the first drip even appears inside.
SmartTech has been providing high-security system services for over 6 years, with 25 years of deep industry experience. Our day-to-day operations focus on the installation and maintenance of high-security systems. By combining decades of technical expertise with a commitment to daily excellence, we provide the robust protection required for high security environments. Our long-standing commitment to technical excellence ensures that your critical security assets are managed with the highest level of precision and professional care.
Modern intruder alarms serve as a primary layer of defense, designed to detect and notify appropriate responders of any unauthorized entry attempts immediately. We provide expert installation and routine maintenance of both audible and remotely monitored alarm systems that conform to the highest industry standards. By performing regular Maintenance checks, we ensure that your alarm systems remain fully operational and ready at the moment they are needed most.
Access control systems provide the technical framework necessary to manage the safe flow of personnel and visitors within restricted environments. We specialise in implementing security measures, such as keyless entry, which allow for the precise regulation of who can enter specific areas and at what times. We ensures these systems are installed to a high standard and create seamless integration with your wider security infrastructure, effectively eliminating the risks associated with traditional key management.
Closed-circuit television is a vital component of any high-security strategy, acting as both a visual deterrent and a reliable investigative tool. Our daily operations include the installation and maintenance of diverse camera technologies. We focus on creating comprehensive coverage that monitors site perimeters and internal assets, ensuring that every movement is captured with clarity and that your infrastructure remains under constant, professional observation.
