Drone Filming in IG4
Everything we fly in IG4 sits inside permissions we already hold, with paperwork available on request.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Our drone filming work in IG4 spans everything from single-shoot jobs to repeat site visits. Briefs range from a single set of stills through to full production support. Access constraints in IG4 are worth telling us about early, because they change the plan.
A drone reaches vantage points in IG4 that scaffolding and cherry pickers cannot justify. London airspace is not uniform, and IG4 has its own constraints to work around. Sites across Ilford get the same crews and the same standards as IG4.
Each IG4 job is planned around the site itself: access, take-off points, overflight and people on the ground. Mapping work is flown on RTK platforms rather than estimated from camera drones. Residents and neighbouring occupiers in IG4 are given notice where the operation warrants it.
Permissions, insurance and the risk assessment are all available before the flight rather than after it. Raw files come back the same day, with edited output typically inside 24 to 48 hours. You will know who is turning up in IG4, and when, before the day.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
Are you CAA approved?
Yes. UAS London is fully CAA approved with enhanced permissions for commercial drone operations in built-up areas. We carry £10M public liability insurance.
