Drone Mapping in DA1
We cover DA1 for drone mapping, with the airspace checks, risk assessment and clearances handled before the crew arrives.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Getting a crew into DA1 is a short job for us rather than a special arrangement. We work for construction firms, property teams, marketing agencies and local businesses in the area. Budgets and deadlines are easier to design around when we know them early.
A drone reaches vantage points in DA1 that scaffolding and cherry pickers cannot justify. London airspace is not uniform, and DA1 has its own constraints to work around. Our coverage of Dartford means a crew can reach DA1 without a long transit.
Planning for DA1 covers airspace class, nearby aerodromes, and anything on the ground that changes the risk picture. Mapping work is flown on RTK platforms rather than estimated from camera drones. Crew brief happens on site, in front of whoever is responsible for the ground.
Where a landowner, managing agent or council needs sight of our paperwork, we provide it up front. Nothing is held back pending payment; you get the material as agreed. You get one point of contact from enquiry through to delivery.
What's Included
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.
How much notice do you need for a booking in DA1?
A few days is comfortable for most DA1 sites, and we can often cover urgent work at shorter notice. Jobs needing NATS or ATC coordination, or access to a restricted site, need longer, and we will flag that as soon as we see the brief.
What does a shoot in DA1 cost?
Price depends on the site, the flight time and the deliverables, so we quote per job rather than from a rate card. Send us the DA1 address and a short brief and we will come back with a fixed, obligation-free price.
