Thames Drone Surveys in Mortlake
Specialist over-water thames drone surveys at Mortlake for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
UAS London covers Mortlake as part of our tidal Thames operating area. We supply broadcast media, survey data and structural inspection imagery from the same operating base. We are used to working alongside vessel crews, ground units and marshals already on site.
We survey the Mortlake bank and the water in advance to fix take-off, landing and contingency points. High-zoom and thermal payloads cover structural inspection of piers, bridges and river walls. Kit is checked ashore before anything is committed over water.
Riparian landowners and pier operators in Mortlake are contacted ahead of the date. All river flights are logged and the records remain available for your own compliance file. Privacy on the bank is considered in the flight plan, not left to the edit.
Delivery is by secure cloud transfer with the raw capture archived as backup. Share the brief and we will confirm crew availability against the tide table the same day. There is no obligation attached to an enquiry.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Do you need Port of London Authority approval to fly in Mortlake?
Any professional drone operation on the tidal Thames, including Mortlake, requires notification to and coordination with the PLA and London VTS. UAS London manages those clearances as part of the service.
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.
