We hold ourselves to the highest standards, and we're upfront about exactly what we can and can't do under current UK regulations.
The facts behind the badges, so you can check them before we fly. Where a detail is still being issued we say so rather than leave it out.
Certificates and insurance schedule available on request. Email info@harvesthawk.co.uk and we will send copies before you book.

We believe in being completely upfront about where UK regulations currently stand. The rules around drone spraying are evolving fast, and we will always operate within them.
Right now, the aerial application of Plant Protection Products (pesticides, herbicides and fungicides) from drones is not permitted in the UK, and that is a regulatory restriction rather than a capability one. The law behind it, with the sources linked, is set out plainly in our guide Can drones spray crops in the UK?
There is plenty we can apply though. Fertilisers, biostimulants and seeding are all permitted and make up a significant part of what farmers need from precision drone services. Where a product cannot be flown, we can build a variable rate prescription map from a drone survey so your own sprayer applies it exactly where it is needed.
We're not just waiting for change. We have written to MPs and farming ministers, and we are speaking directly with HSE to push for sensible, evidence-based regulation that benefits British farmers. Our Hawk Greener Growing programme will help build the real-world data to support this.
Every job follows the same rigorous process, whether it's a 5-acre orchard or a 500-acre arable field.
Manufacturer footage of the T70P's lighting and sensing. Night flying is only offered if and when our authorisation includes it.
If we can't do something, we'll tell you. If the drone isn't the right tool for the job, we'll say so. If regulations change, you'll be the first to know. That's how we build trust, and it's how we intend to keep it.
Our listing on the UK Agricultural Drones directory was checked against Companies House and this website. We are also a member operator of the British Association of Drone Operators, which vets member companies for professional standards, compliance and reliability.
The straight answer, the law it comes from, and what a drone can legally do on your farm today. Written plainly, with the sources linked.
