Thames Drone Surveys in Isleworth
Specialist over-water thames drone surveys at Isleworth for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
We work in Isleworth regularly, and river operations are the core of what we do. That combination of aviation and marine crew is what makes over-water work practical rather than theoretical. We are used to working alongside vessel crews, ground units and marshals already on site.
We survey the Isleworth bank and the water in advance to fix take-off, landing and contingency points. Output can be broadcast-ready ProRes, high-bitrate RAW, or georeferenced survey data. Where the subject is a moving vessel, the shot is planned around its passage, not ours.
Any Isleworth operation is logged with the river authorities before the crew arrives. Risk assessments for river work are site-specific and account for tide, traffic and public access. If the airspace or the PLA position makes the job impossible, you hear it at the enquiry stage.
If weather or tide closes the window, we rebook the next viable slot at no extra cost. Contact the operations desk to check dates in Isleworth and get a written quote. We can point you at Thames projects where we have done something similar.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much notice do you need for river work in Isleworth?
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.
Do you carry out structural inspections on Thames bridges and piers?
Yes. We fly high-zoom and thermal payloads for close-range condition surveys of bridges, piers, river walls and marine civil works, and can deliver the output as an annotated report or georeferenced imagery.
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.
