Aerial Photography in SM1

We fly aerial photography throughout SM1, planned and permitted before the crew arrives on site.

If your site falls in SM1, our aerial photography team can plan and fly it under existing CAA permissions. Jobs come in from main contractors, subcontractors and the client side directly. Budgets and deadlines are easier to design around when we know them early.

An aerial set of the site gives you context that a street-level photograph loses. We have flown enough of London to know where SM1 gets complicated. Because SM1 falls under Sutton, we can usually combine it with nearby districts in one visit.

Where the site in SM1 sits near controlled airspace or sensitive infrastructure, we arrange the clearances first. We fly the aircraft the brief actually needs rather than the same platform for everything. We turn down work we cannot do properly rather than take it on and hope.

Where compliance evidence is needed for a planning or insurance file, we supply it. Larger data sets are delivered by secure transfer rather than physical media. Where a job runs over, we absorb it rather than reissue the invoice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you fly indoors or in enclosed spaces?

Yes, with sub-250g aircraft and appropriate planning. Enclosed and confined spaces need their own risk assessment and often a different platform, so tell us about the environment early and we will confirm what is workable.

How long will you be on site in SM1?

Most single-subject jobs take one to three hours on site including setup, briefing and packing down. Larger sites, multiple elevations or survey work take longer, and we confirm the expected window when we quote.

Can you fly drones in SM1?

Yes. We hold the necessary permissions to operate safely in SM1. Every operation includes a full risk assessment and coordination with local authorities or airspace controllers where required.
