With a rich history spanning over 1,300 years, Gloucester Cathedral stands as one of the South West’s most iconic heritage landmarks, celebrated for its remarkable architecture.
Gloucester Cathedral’s 15th century tower rises nearly 225 feet (69 metres), commanding the skyline, while the Cathedral’s cloisters gained fame as filming locations for the Harry Potter films, doubling as Hogwarts corridors.
Surveybase were honoured to be appointed to deliver Rectified Imagery and a Measured Building Survey of the Cathedral. This provided the client with accurate 2D Floor, Ceiling, Roof, Elevations, and Sectional-Elevation plans, as well as ortho-rectified images.
Gloucester Cathedral presented unique challenges due to its status as a busy, operational heritage site open to the public and its tall architectural design. To overcome these, Surveybase utilised advanced surveying technology, including drone capture, to ensure accurate data collection while minimising disruption to daily activities and visitors.

By providing our surveying services, we ensure clients receive a complete, coordinated and accurate dataset.
