Thames Drone Filming in Brentford
Specialist over-water thames drone filming at Brentford for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
UAS London covers Brentford as part of our tidal Thames operating area. Projects run from a two-hour tide window to a scheduled programme across a construction phase. Where the river is busy, patience beats improvisation, and we plan for it.
We survey the Brentford bank and the water in advance to fix take-off, landing and contingency points. We carry redundant airframes so a marginal weather window is not a wasted mobilisation. Flights are kept tight, because on the river loiter time costs you the tide rather than buying better footage.
PLA notification, harbour master liaison and VTS contact for Brentford are handled in-house. Documentation is available up front: permissions, marine insurance and the risk assessment. If the airspace or the PLA position makes the job impossible, you hear it at the enquiry stage.
Edited video, stills, orthomosaics and inspection reports follow the flight within 48 hours. Tell us what you need on the water and we will come back with options, tides and a price. Tell us the deadline first, because on the river it decides almost everything else.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you work with the vessel operator directly?
Yes, and it makes a noticeable difference to the result. Given the skipper's contact we coordinate the passage and the shot list directly, so the vessel is where the camera needs it rather than the other way round.
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.
How does the tide affect a shoot in Brentford?
Tide decides what is visible, what is navigable and where we can launch and recover. We plan Brentford operations around the tide table first and build the shot list around the window that gives you the best water.
