Drone Survey in DA1
Our drone survey operations reach every part of DA1, with raw files back the same day and edits inside 48 hours.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Booking drone survey in DA1 puts a CAA-approved crew on site with the permissions already in place. We handle both one-off commissions and scheduled repeat visits for ongoing projects. We can attend a pre-start meeting where the site requires one.
Clients in DA1 usually need the material for marketing, a record, or a decision. Proximity to controlled airspace changes what is possible in parts of DA1. Because DA1 falls under Dartford, we can usually combine it with nearby districts in one visit.
We assess the DA1 location in advance, on foot or from mapping, before any aircraft leaves the case. Where the output is data rather than footage, we fly RTK-equipped platforms for survey-grade accuracy. Our risk assessments are written to be read, not to tick a box.
Insurance certificates and CAA documentation are issued on request ahead of any DA1 booking. Give us the site details and we will confirm feasibility and cost before you commit. Nothing about the DA1 operation is subcontracted out without telling you.
What's Included
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you insured, and can we see the certificate?
Yes. We carry £10M public liability insurance and can send the certificate, our CAA operational authorisation and a job-specific risk assessment before the booking is confirmed.
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.
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.
