Aerial photography in SM5 is something we are set up to do at short notice. That includes new-build developments, refurbishment sites, commercial premises and public events. We are happy to work alongside a ground photographer or video crew already on site.

The value of aerial photography here is showing something that is otherwise hard to see. Proximity to controlled airspace changes what is possible in parts of SM5. We work the whole of Sutton, so SM5 is rarely a standalone trip.

Before we fly in SM5 we check airspace restrictions, obstacles and ground risk on the day. Everything is captured at the highest quality the job can actually use. Neighbouring properties are considered before the flight path is set.

We can supply method statements and risk assessments for your own site paperwork. Tell us the SM5 postcode and what you need, and we will quote without obligation. Our quotes set out what is included so there is nothing to argue about afterwards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do we actually receive at the end?

That depends on the brief: graded video, high-resolution stills, orthomosaic maps, 3D models or an inspection report. Raw capture is handed over on the day and finished output follows by secure cloud transfer.

Are you insured, and can we see the certificate?

Yes. We carry £10M public liability insurance and can send the certificate, our CAA operational authorisation and a job-specific risk assessment before the booking is confirmed.

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.
