Thames Towage Filming in Brentford

Our thames towage filming team is authorised and equipped for operations in Brentford. Our crews pair CAA-licensed drone pilots with working river skippers who read tide, traffic and weather off the water rather than off a map. Where a brief covers several reaches, we plan them into one run down the river.

We survey the Brentford bank and the water in advance to fix take-off, landing and contingency points. Cinema, inspection and mapping payloads can all be flown on the same tide window. A contingency window is built in wherever the shot depends on conditions.

Our crews hold marine VHF and stay in contact with river traffic while the aircraft is airborne. Risk assessments for river work are site-specific and account for tide, traffic and public access. Our river risk assessments are written to be read, not to satisfy a filing requirement.

Where the tide window is tight, we plan the shot list so nothing depends on a second visit. We are trusted on the river by operators including CPBS Marine Services, MMS Marine and the Dutch Master. We are straightforward about what the river will and will not allow.
