Drone Survey in SE16

We cover SE16 for drone survey, with the airspace checks, risk assessment and clearances handled before the crew arrives.

We take drone survey bookings across SE16 most weeks of the year. Work in the district covers everything from marketing imagery to progress records and condition reports. If the brief is still loose, we would rather talk it through than guess at it.

Most SE16 clients are after material they can put straight in front of someone. London airspace is not uniform, and SE16 has its own constraints to work around. We hold current airspace knowledge for South East London as a whole, SE16 included.

We look at obstacles, overflight and public access around the SE16 site before quoting. Kit is chosen per brief, from sub-250g aircraft for tight spaces to RTK platforms for centimetre accuracy. Privacy is considered in the flight plan, not left to the edit.

Permissions, insurance and the risk assessment are all available before the flight rather than after it. Delivery is by secure cloud transfer, with the raw files retained as backup. We flag anything that could delay the SE16 shoot as soon as we spot it.

SE16 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.

Thames Riverside Expertise

Because SE16 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

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.

What do we actually receive at the end?

That depends on the brief: graded video, high-resolution stills, orthomosaic maps, 3D models or an inspection report. Raw capture is handed over on the day and finished output follows by secure cloud transfer.

Can you fly indoors or in enclosed spaces?

Yes, with sub-250g aircraft and appropriate planning. Enclosed and confined spaces need their own risk assessment and often a different platform, so tell us about the environment early and we will confirm what is workable.
