Drone Mapping in W1U
W1U is inside our regular patch, so drone mapping there is a short mobilisation rather than a special arrangement.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Getting a crew into W1U is a short job for us rather than a special arrangement. Our clients here tend to be developers, contractors, architects and creative agencies. Where a job spans several sites, we can cover them in one mobilisation.
We plan drone mapping around the output you need rather than the shots that look impressive. Height limits, restricted zones and helicopter routes all vary across London, W1U included. W1U shares its airspace picture with the rest of West London, which we already know well.
We work out take-off and landing points, cordons and contingency routes for W1U ahead of the shoot date. Longer lenses let us keep distance from people and property without losing detail. Every crew member knows the abort criteria before the first take-off.
Every operation runs under our CAA authorisation with £10M public liability cover in place. If weather stops the flight we rebook the next clear window at no extra cost. Every job gets a written brief confirmation before we mobilise.
What's Included
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
How much notice do you need for a booking in W1U?
A few days is comfortable for most W1U 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.
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.
