Thermal Drone Inspection in DA18
Everything we fly in DA18 sits inside permissions we already hold, with paperwork available on request.
DA18 is a regular destination for our thermal drone inspection crews. Typical jobs cover commercial premises, residential developments, industrial units and open sites. Quotes hold; we do not revise them once the job is agreed.
Clients in DA18 usually need the material for marketing, a record, or a decision. Every London district has its own mix of obstacles, and DA18 is no exception. We work the whole of Dartford, so DA18 is rarely a standalone trip.
Before we fly in DA18 we check airspace restrictions, obstacles and ground risk on the day. The aircraft is chosen after the brief is understood, not before. We do not fly outside our permissions, whatever the deadline looks like.
Our permissions and £10M public liability cover apply to all work in DA18. Urgent DA18 jobs can be turned around same-day where the schedule allows. If we get something wrong, we go back and reshoot it.
Because DA18 runs down to the river, work here often means flying over water. We hold marine insurance and coordinate with the PLA and London VTS on any riverside operation.
What's Included
Thames Riverside Expertise
Because DA18 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
How much notice do you need for a booking in DA18?
A few days is comfortable for most DA18 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.
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.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day?
We monitor forecasts in the days before the flight and will tell you early if it looks marginal. If conditions make the flight unsafe we rebook the next clear window at no extra cost.
