About DroneX

Revolutionising New Zealand's industries, with world-class robotics.

DroneX puts the best exterior robotics in the world to work on New Zealand sites — on a mission to bring advanced drone technology into our industries, strengthen productivity and help future-proof the economy. All operated by a two-person CAA-certified crew.

Scaffolding, cherry pickers, rope access and ground spray rigs are slow, expensive, and put people where nobody should have to be. Every one of those jobs is now flown from the footpath.

Service · building washing

Building washing, from the ground up.

Roofs, façades, cladding, signage and high-rise glass — cleaned by tethered wash drone to 60 m with no scaffolding, cherry picker or rope access.

50m softwash
Up to 60 m Working reach
4,500 PSI Max pressure
100 °C+ Hot-wash sanitisation
Deionised Spot-free finish
Eco-friendly Chemical injection
Who we are

Cleaning the uncleanable, safely.

For decades, exterior work above three storeys has meant scaffolding, harnessed crews and cherry pickers. None of those scale. All of them are slow.

Our drones reach 60 m up a façade on a tether, washing glass, cladding, signage and roofs while both operators stay on the footpath — no scaffold, no cherry picker, no rope.

Safe wash setup
Safety & reporting

Off height, and fully documented.

Every commercial wash is planned around a site-specific safety plan, a pre-flight risk assessment and defined exclusion zones before the crew mobilises.

We finish with matched before-and-after imagery and a record of the methodology and chemistry used — clear evidence for facilities teams, owners and compliance files.

How a wash runs

Three visits, one mobilisation.

01

Survey & flight plan

We fly the perimeter, identify substrate and damage, and set exclusion zones and a waste water management plan before quoting a fixed price.

02

Ground-operated wash

Tethered Sherpa delivers soft wash or high-pressure to the surface while the crew stays on the ground.

03

Post-job report

Same flight paths re-flown for before/after imagery, plus chemistry and methodology log for compliance.
