Drone Survey in DA18

DA18 is inside our regular operating area. Our drone survey crews mobilise quickly and arrive with the paperwork already done.

We run drone survey jobs across DA18 throughout the year. Briefs range from a single set of stills through to full production support. Where a job spans several sites, we can cover them in one mobilisation.

Whether the DA18 material ends up in a brochure or a report changes how we shoot it. Every London district has its own mix of obstacles, and DA18 is no exception. DA18 sits in the Dartford postcode area, which our crews cover as one patch.

Any DA18 flight close to controlled airspace gets NATS or ATC coordination arranged in advance. Longer lenses let us keep distance from people and property without losing detail. We would rather stand down and rebook than fly a marginal operation.

Everything we fly in DA18 sits inside the permissions we actually hold. Turnaround is same-day for raw material and 24 to 48 hours for edits, maps or reports. Every job gets a written brief confirmation before we mobilise.

DA18 fronts the tidal Thames, so a job here can mean launching from the bank, from a pier or from a vessel. We are set up and insured for all three, with PLA coordination handled as standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a shoot in DA18 cost?

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.

Can you fly drones in DA18?

Yes. We hold the necessary permissions to operate safely in DA18. Every operation includes a full risk assessment and coordination with local authorities or airspace controllers where required.
