River Event Filming in Brentford
Specialist over-water river event filming at Brentford for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Brentford is a stretch of the tidal Thames our crews know well. Both riverbank and vessel-launched operations are available depending on the shot. We are used to working alongside vessel crews, ground units and marshals already on site.
River work in Brentford is planned against live traffic information, not a generic river chart. Cinema, inspection and mapping payloads can all be flown on the same tide window. We keep the ground and deck footprint small so the operation stays clear of working crews.
PLA notification, harbour master liaison and VTS contact for Brentford are handled in-house. Ground safety on the bank, meaning cordons, pedestrian routes and marshals, is planned alongside the flight. Anything we cannot legally do on the river, we say before you book rather than after.
Survey data from Brentford is processed and returned within two working days. Send us the dates and the shot list and we will tell you which tides are viable. Happy to advise on feasibility even if you end up not booking.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you manage wind and weather on the river?
The Thames corridor funnels wind and can be considerably rougher than the surrounding streets. We work to maritime forecasts and fly platforms rated to around 25 knots, so a marginal day does not automatically cost you the shoot.
What does river work in Brentford cost?
It depends on tide windows, whether vessel support is needed and what you want delivered, so we quote per project. Send the brief and the deadline and we will come back with a fixed price and the viable tides.
Do you need Port of London Authority approval to fly in Brentford?
Any professional drone operation on the tidal Thames, including Brentford, requires notification to and coordination with the PLA and London VTS. UAS London manages those clearances as part of the service.
