Construction Site Mapping in DA1

Our construction site mapping crews work DA1 and the districts around it throughout the year.

Our pilots work in DA1 often enough to know its airspace constraints before we arrive. Jobs come in from main contractors, subcontractors and the client side directly. Small jobs are welcome; there is no minimum project size.

Good construction site mapping makes the next conversation shorter. We have flown enough of London to know where DA1 gets complicated. Clients in DA1 often have sites elsewhere in Dartford, and we can cover both on one mobilisation.

The DA1 operating plan is written before the crew is scheduled, not after. The aircraft is chosen after the brief is understood, not before. We keep the separation distances the regulations require from anyone not under our control.

UAS London holds CAA operational authorisation and carries £10M public liability insurance. Edited video, stills, orthomosaics and inspection reports follow within 24 to 48 hours. We keep the brief and the delivery in writing so expectations stay aligned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you fly drones in DA1?

Yes. We hold the necessary permissions to operate safely in DA1. Every operation includes a full risk assessment and coordination with local authorities or airspace controllers where required.

Can you work around a live site in DA1?

Yes. We plan around access routes, working hours and pedestrian movement, and can schedule flights for quieter windows to keep ground risk down. Cordons and marshalling are agreed in advance rather than arranged on the day.

Do we need permission from the landowner or council?

Take-off and landing need the landowner's permission, and we will tell you whose it is before the date. Where a council, managing agent or estate needs sight of our CAA authorisation, insurance or risk assessment, we supply the paperwork directly.
