Thames Towage Filming at Fiddler's Reach
Specialist over-water thames towage filming at Fiddler's Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Our thames towage filming team is authorised and equipped for operations at Fiddler's Reach. Clients here include TV productions, marine contractors, port operators and engineering teams. Repeat work at Fiddler's Reach keeps the same crew wherever scheduling allows.
We survey the Fiddler's Reach bank and the water in advance to fix take-off, landing and contingency points. Where the shot demands it, we launch and recover from an MCA-coded support vessel. Where the subject is a moving vessel, the shot is planned around its passage, not ours.
Notices to mariners are checked before any Fiddler's Reach flight, and radio watch is kept during it. Failsafe return-to-home points account for drift, tide and a moving launch platform. Abort criteria are briefed to the crew and the skipper before the first launch.
If weather or tide closes the window, we rebook the next viable slot at no extra cost. Talk to our skippers before you commit. They will tell you quickly whether the shot is achievable. Quotes are fixed, not estimates that drift once the job starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Can you launch from the bank rather than a vessel at Fiddler's Reach?
Often, yes, and it is usually cheaper. It depends on landowner permission, a clear take-off and landing area, and whether the subject stays within safe range from shore. We will tell you which approach the shot actually needs.
What deliverables can you provide from Fiddler's Reach?
Broadcast-ready video, high-resolution stills, georeferenced orthomosaics of the bank and foreshore, 3D models, or written inspection reports. Raw capture is handed over on the day and processed output follows within 24 to 48 hours.
