Thames Brand Activation Filming in Erith

Specialist over-water thames brand activation filming at Erith for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.

UAS London delivers thames brand activation filming in Erith on the tidal River Thames. Our pilots hold marine radio and work directly alongside skippers during the flight. Tell us the deadline early, because the tide table, not the diary, usually sets the date.

Operations in Erith are timed to the tide and to gaps in commercial river traffic. Dual-operator setups let the pilot hold visual line of sight while the camera tracks independently. Where bank access is restricted, we scout the approach before the crew and kit arrive.

We work to PLA requirements as a matter of course rather than as an afterthought. Documentation is available up front: permissions, marine insurance and the risk assessment. Nothing goes up until the paperwork, the tide plan and the brief agree with each other.

We retain the raw river capture in case you need to return to it later. We are trusted on the river by operators including CPBS Marine Services, MMS Marine and the Dutch Master. Tell us the deadline first, because on the river it decides almost everything else.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need Port of London Authority approval to fly in Erith?

Any professional drone operation on the tidal Thames, including Erith, requires notification to and coordination with the PLA and London VTS. UAS London manages those clearances as part of the service.

How much notice do you need for river work in Erith?

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.

Are you insured for flying over water?

Yes. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations, and can provide the certificate along with our CAA authorisation and a job-specific risk assessment before booking.
