Drone Survey in EC4Y
We fly drone survey throughout EC4Y, planned and permitted before the crew arrives on site.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
We deliver drone survey throughout EC4Y for commercial and private clients alike. Our clients here tend to be developers, contractors, architects and creative agencies. We are happy to work alongside a ground photographer or video crew already on site.
An aerial set of the site gives you context that a street-level photograph loses. Traffic, pedestrians and overhead services in EC4Y shape the plan as much as the regulations do. We hold current airspace knowledge for East Central London as a whole, EC4Y included.
Where the site in EC4Y sits near controlled airspace or sensitive infrastructure, we arrange the clearances first. On site we match the platform to the job, using cinema rigs for filming and RTK systems where survey accuracy matters. If the airspace makes the job impossible, you will hear that at the enquiry stage.
Everything we fly in EC4Y sits inside the permissions we actually hold. Raw files come back the same day, with edited output typically inside 24 to 48 hours. Questions get answered by someone who has actually flown the site.
EC4Y 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.
What's Included
Thames Riverside Expertise
Because EC4Y is adjacent to the River Thames, operations here may require specialist maritime knowledge. We coordinate with the Port of London Authority (PLA) and provide highly experienced river skippers when required.

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.
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.
How long will you be on site in EC4Y?
Most single-subject jobs take one to three hours on site including setup, briefing and packing down. Larger sites, multiple elevations or survey work take longer, and we confirm the expected window when we quote.
