Thames Aerial Imagery in Mortlake
Specialist over-water thames aerial imagery at Mortlake for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
Mortlake is a stretch of the tidal Thames our crews know well. Our pilots hold marine radio and work directly alongside skippers during the flight. Where the river is busy, patience beats improvisation, and we plan for it.
Planning in Mortlake starts with the tide window, because it decides what is even possible. High-zoom and thermal payloads cover structural inspection of piers, bridges and river walls. Where bank access is restricted, we scout the approach before the crew and kit arrive.
Riparian landowners and pier operators in Mortlake are contacted ahead of the date. Risk assessments for river work are site-specific and account for tide, traffic and public access. Privacy on the bank is considered in the flight plan, not left to the edit.
We retain the raw river capture in case you need to return to it later. Tell us what you need on the water and we will come back with options, tides and a price. Terms, marine insurance and permissions can all be reviewed before you commit.

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.
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.
How much notice do you need for river work in Mortlake?
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.
