Drone Survey in TW1
Book drone survey in TW1 with a crew that handles the airspace checks, risk assessment and clearances for you.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
We know the airspace picture over TW1 before we quote on it. Enquiries come from marketing teams, site managers, agents and private owners alike. Access constraints in TW1 are worth telling us about early, because they change the plan.
The value of drone survey here is showing something that is otherwise hard to see. Height limits, restricted zones and helicopter routes all vary across London, TW1 included. Because TW1 falls under Twickenham, we can usually combine it with nearby districts in one visit.
Any TW1 flight close to controlled airspace gets NATS or ATC coordination arranged in advance. Cinema, survey and inspection payloads are all available from the same crew on the same visit. Every crew member knows the abort criteria before the first take-off.
Permissions, insurance and the risk assessment are all available before the flight rather than after it. File formats are agreed up front so nothing needs converting later. Where a second visit is our fault, it is at our cost.
A good deal of TW1 looks onto the tideway, which is where most of our flying hours have been logged. We plan around the tide, keep a radio watch on river traffic, and notify the PLA before the crew arrives.
What's Included
Thames Riverside Expertise
Because TW1 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.

Can you fly drones in TW1?
Yes. We hold the necessary permissions to operate safely in TW1. Every operation includes a full risk assessment and coordination with local authorities or airspace controllers where required.
Do you retain copyright, or do we?
Licensing is agreed before the shoot and written into the quote, so there is no ambiguity afterwards. Tell us how you intend to use the material and we will scope the licence to match.
How much notice do you need for a booking in TW1?
A few days is comfortable for most TW1 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.
