Thames Drone Surveys in Lambeth
Specialist over-water thames drone surveys at Lambeth for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
We run drone operations in Lambeth throughout the year, in all tide states. Projects run from a two-hour tide window to a scheduled programme across a construction phase. Repeat work in Lambeth keeps the same crew wherever scheduling allows.
Every flight in Lambeth is planned around the tide table and the vessel schedule. Dual-operator setups let the pilot hold visual line of sight while the camera tracks independently. Light on the water changes fast, so we will suggest the state of tide and time of day that suits the subject.
We keep the river authorities informed from planning through to the end of the flight. We can supply method statements for the principal contractor's file where the site requires it. We hold the separation the regulations require from anyone not under our control.
If weather or tide closes the window, we rebook the next viable slot at no extra cost. Contact our marine desk with the Lambeth brief and we will confirm the tide windows that work. We are straightforward about what the river will and will not allow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does river work in Lambeth 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.
Can you launch drones directly from boats in Lambeth?
Yes. Through our partnership with Cinecraft we have access to MCA-coded workboats and support vessels, and our pilots are experienced in launching and recovering from a moving deck.
Do you work with the vessel operator directly?
Yes, and it makes a noticeable difference to the result. Given the skipper's contact we coordinate the passage and the shot list directly, so the vessel is where the camera needs it rather than the other way round.
