Thames Aerial Imagery at Battersea Reach
Specialist over-water thames aerial imagery at Battersea Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Thames Aerial Imagery at Battersea Reach is routine work for our Thames crews. Clients here include TV productions, marine contractors, port operators and engineering teams. Tell us the deadline early, because the tide table, not the diary, usually sets the date.
Flight planning at Battersea Reach accounts for wind funnelling along the river and around structures. Platforms are chosen for wind resilience and over-water redundancy rather than convenience. Where the subject is a moving vessel, the shot is planned around its passage, not ours.
Riparian landowners and pier operators at Battersea Reach are contacted ahead of the date. Documentation is available up front: permissions, marine insurance and the risk assessment. Where the public has access to the foreshore, the plan accounts for them explicitly.
Edited video, stills, orthomosaics and inspection reports follow the flight within 48 hours. Contact the operations desk to check dates at Battersea Reach and get a written quote. Terms, marine insurance and permissions can all be reviewed before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are you insured for flying over water?
Yes. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations, and can provide the certificate along with our CAA authorisation and a job-specific risk assessment before booking.
How does the tide affect a shoot at Battersea Reach?
Tide decides what is visible, what is navigable and where we can launch and recover. We plan Battersea Reach operations around the tide table first and build the shot list around the window that gives you the best water.
Do you carry out structural inspections on Thames bridges and piers?
Yes. We fly high-zoom and thermal payloads for close-range condition surveys of bridges, piers, river walls and marine civil works, and can deliver the output as an annotated report or georeferenced imagery.
