Drone Filming in DA18
DA18 is inside our regular operating area. Our drone filming crews mobilise quickly and arrive with the paperwork already done.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Our drone filming work in DA18 spans everything from single-shoot jobs to repeat site visits. We are as comfortable on a single house as on a multi-acre site. We will say plainly if a drone is the wrong tool for what you are trying to show.
Every drone filming brief starts with what the images have to do. Knowing where you can legally launch in DA18 saves a wasted mobilisation. We work the whole of Dartford, so DA18 is rarely a standalone trip.
The DA18 operating plan is written before the crew is scheduled, not after. We carry enough kit to change approach on site if conditions demand it. We would rather stand down and rebook than fly a marginal operation.
Our permissions and £10M public liability cover apply to all work in DA18. Repeat visits to DA18 are delivered to a consistent spec so the set matches. Feedback on a first cut is included rather than billed as a revision.
Because DA18 runs down to the river, work here often means flying over water. We hold marine insurance and coordinate with the PLA and London VTS on any riverside operation.
What's Included
Thames Riverside Expertise
Because DA18 is adjacent to the River Thames, operations here may require specialist maritime knowledge. We coordinate with the Port of London Authority (PLA) and provide highly experienced river skippers when required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need us to close anything off while you fly?
Usually not. Most jobs are flown with a small cordon around the take-off point and sensible separation from people on the ground. Where a site genuinely needs more, we will tell you at the planning stage rather than on the morning.
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.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day?
We monitor forecasts in the days before the flight and will tell you early if it looks marginal. If conditions make the flight unsafe we rebook the next clear window at no extra cost.
