Professional Drone Repair Service
Expert hardware diagnostics and component-level repair for DJI, Autel, and Parrot drones. We specialise in gimbal restoration, crash damage recovery, and precision sensor calibration for consumer and enterprise fleets.
Our service provides a technical alternative to manufacturer service centres, specifically for out-of-warranty drones and complex crash damage that standard “module-swapping” shops cannot resolve.
Secure nationwide mail-in service or drop-off at over 24,000 Service Points across the UK.
Advanced Drone Diagnostics & Structural Restoration
Drones are high-precision aerial platforms requiring exact mechanical and electronic alignment. Our diagnostic methodology goes beyond simple arm swaps, utilizing IMU/Compass calibration and precision rework to repair failed gimbals and internal logic boards.
βοΈ Gimbal & Camera Rework
We resolve “Gimbal Overload” errors, shaky footage, and physical impact damage through precision motor replacement and ribbon cable repair.
π Fixed-Price Quotes
Following our diagnostic phase, you receive a binding, fixed-price quote. We ensure full transparency regarding parts and labour before you commit.
π οΈ Propulsion & ESC Repair
We identify and resolve Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) errors and motor failures, ensuring your drone’s propulsion system is flight-ready.
Drone Brands & Models We Commonly Repair
Our technicians are experienced in the specific architecture and firmware of all major drone manufacturers. We provide specialist support for consumer, prosumer, and enterprise aerial systems.
- DJI Mavic Series (Mavic 3, Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom, Air 2S)
- DJI Mini Series (Mini 4 Pro, Mini 3, Mini 2)
- DJI Phantom & Inspire Series
- DJI FPV & Avata
- Autel Robotics (EVO Series)
- Parrot (Anafi)
- Yuneec (Typhoon)
- Potensic & Hubsan
This list is not exhaustive. We assess repairability based on part availability, circuit design, and the economic viability of the repair.
Common Drone Failure Vectors
Drone faults typically manifest through physical impact, firmware corruption, or environmental exposure:
π₯ Crash & Structural Damage
We perform reinforced repairs on broken arms, cracked body shells, and landing gear, restoring the structural integrity of the airframe.
π‘ Sensor & Firmware Faults
Resolution of GPS signal loss, IMU/Compass calibration errors, and failed firmware updates that prevent takeoff or cause erratic flight.
View Advanced Faults (Water Damage, Enterprise, FPV)
π§ Water Damage Recovery
Specialist ultrasonic cleaning and trace repair to neutralise corrosion from liquid ingress. Note: Do not power on a wet drone.
β‘ Enterprise & FPV Support
Component-level repair for DJI Matrice series and high-performance FPV drones, including VTX and flight controller rework.
Repair vs Replace: The Pilot’s Perspective
β When Repair Makes Sense
- Premium Platforms: When the residual value of Mavic 3 or Inspire series remains high compared to repair costs.
- Isolated Gimbal Damage: When the drone flies perfectly but requires camera or gimbal restoration.
- Structural Arm Failure: When the fault is mechanical and the internal electronics remain fully functional.
β When Replacement is Better
- Severe Mainboard Corrosion: When liquid damage has compromised the multi-layer PCB beyond reliable repair.
- Economic Obsolescence: When the device is an older entry-level model where repair costs exceed its market value.
- Catastrophic High-Speed Impact: When both the airframe and all internal sensors have suffered total failure.
Service Logistics & Frequently Asked Questions
The Drone Repair Pathway: How it Works
How long does a drone repair take?
Standard diagnostics take 2-4 working days. Most repairs are completed within 5-7 working days depending on part availability. We provide an estimated completion date with your quote.
Do you use genuine DJI parts?
We source genuine OEM parts where supply chains permit. For certain repairs, high-quality OEM-spec components are used to ensure identical flight performance.
Can you fix a “Gimbal Overload” error?
Yes, this is a common fault usually caused by a physical obstruction, a failed ribbon cable, or a damaged gimbal motor. We can diagnose and resolve this effectively.
