River Event Filming in Blackfriars

We work in Blackfriars regularly, and river operations are the core of what we do. Both riverbank and vessel-launched operations are available depending on the shot. Tell us the deadline early, because the tide table, not the diary, usually sets the date.

We check tide state, river traffic and bridge clearances before fixing a date in Blackfriars. We fly marine-configured aircraft rated for the wind speeds the river corridor regularly produces. Where the subject is a moving vessel, the shot is planned around its passage, not ours.

PLA notification, harbour master liaison and VTS contact for Blackfriars are handled in-house. We can supply method statements for the principal contractor's file where the site requires it. Anything we cannot legally do on the river, we say before you book rather than after.

If weather or tide closes the window, we rebook the next viable slot at no extra cost. Tell us what you need on the water and we will come back with options, tides and a price. Quotes are fixed, not estimates that drift once the job starts.
