Thames Marine Civil Filming at Chelsea Reach
Specialist over-water thames marine civil filming at Chelsea Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Our thames marine civil filming team is authorised and equipped for operations at Chelsea Reach. Our pilots hold marine radio and work directly alongside skippers during the flight. Small jobs are welcome; a single vessel pass is as valid a brief as a week of coverage.
We identify launch and recovery points at Chelsea Reach that work at the state of tide on the day. High-zoom and thermal payloads cover structural inspection of piers, bridges and river walls. We can work outside normal hours where river traffic or light demands it.
Coordination with the Port of London Authority is standard on every flight at Chelsea Reach. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations. We hold the separation the regulations require from anyone not under our control.
Deliverables come in the format your editorial or engineering team already works in. We can assess the Chelsea Reach site before you book if the feasibility is not obvious. We can point you at Thames projects where we have done something similar.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does river work at Chelsea Reach 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.
Who owns the footage from the Chelsea Reach shoot?
Licensing is agreed before the flight and written into the quote. Tell us whether the material is for broadcast, marketing, an operational record or a planning submission and we scope the licence accordingly.
How much notice do you need for river work at Chelsea Reach?
More than for a land-based shoot, because PLA notification and the tide table both constrain the date. A week or two is comfortable; tell us the deadline and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.
