Construction Drone Filming in SM3

SM3 is inside our regular patch, so construction drone filming there is a short mobilisation rather than a special arrangement.

Recent Work

Selected work from across London and the Thames.

SM3 is well within our operating radius, so mobilising a crew there is straightforward. We handle both one-off commissions and scheduled repeat visits for ongoing projects. 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. Tall structures around SM3 affect both signal and wind, and we plan for both. We hold current airspace knowledge for Sutton as a whole, SM3 included.

We look at obstacles, overflight and public access around the SM3 site before quoting. Depending on the deliverable that might be the Inspire 3 for 8K, a Mavic for reach, or a Matrice for mapping. We fly the plan that was agreed, and flag it if the site has changed since.

UAS London holds CAA operational authorisation and carries £10M public liability insurance. Turnaround is same-day for raw material and 24 to 48 hours for edits, maps or reports. You will know who is turning up in SM3, and when, before the day.

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.

How long will you be on site in SM3?

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.
