Ilfracombe drone survey, Devon

The road out to Ilfracombe runs by the A361 North Devon Link Road, the whole way to the coast, covering the roughly 42.4 miles from our Exeter base. It's one of the longer runs we do regularly, so a booking here sits alongside the rest of the work we do across North Devon.

Anyone in Ilfracombe comparing quotes will find EX34 doesn't attract a separate mobilisation fee the way a distant operator's North Devon pricing might. It's one fixed number, agreed first.

Wind, rain and poor light stop a Ilfracombe flight the same as they would in Exeter itself. A EX34 reschedule is planned around the forecast, never around a long drive.

A Ilfracombe flight in EX34 carries the same CAA registration and Coverdrone cover as a job in Exeter itself, checked before the aircraft leaves the case, whatever North Devon it's flying over.

Around Ilfracombe, EX34 included: Victorian resort terraces and hotels in dramatic hillside rows, many rendered and painted, harbourside cottages, and post-war housing on the higher slopes. It's the kind of spread that means the brief changes street to street across North Devon.

Locally, in Ilfracombe: A north-coast harbour town wedged between steep hills and high cliffs, with the ground falling sharply to a small sheltered harbour and Hillsborough rising immediately east. None of that stops a EX34 survey happening, it's simply factored into the flight plan alongside the address and the brief. Between Ilfracombe Harbour and Hillsborough, Ilfracombe has enough going on in EX34 that most jobs read as properly local rather than a generic address on a form.

Missing pet searches come up around Ilfracombe too, on open ground rather than a specific roof, and get treated as urgent within EX34 in a way a routine condition survey isn't.

On our own books Ilfracombe is filed under North Devon, one of the groupings used across Devon to plan a working week around EX34 rather than treat every booking as a one-off trip.

Because Ilfracombe sits inside EX34, it's grouped with the rest of North Devon, which usually means Barnstaple, South Molton and Bideford get covered on the same run out from Exeter rather than a separate visit.

The form on this site asks for a EX34 postcode, a job, and the dates in mind for Ilfracombe. That's all we need to check the diary and come back with a fixed price.

A Ilfracombe report is written up the same way as any other EX34 job: within 48 hours, describing what the flight over North Devon actually found.
