Thames Towage Filming in Mortlake
Specialist over-water thames towage filming at Mortlake for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
We work in Mortlake regularly, and river operations are the core of what we do. Typical briefs cover vessel tracking, riverside development, bridge condition and event coverage. Tell us the deadline early, because the tide table, not the diary, usually sets the date.
We survey the Mortlake bank and the water in advance to fix take-off, landing and contingency points. RTK platforms are available where the deliverable is a measurement rather than an image. Where the site is a live wharf or works, we operate to the principal contractor's permit system.
Riparian landowners and pier operators in Mortlake are contacted ahead of the date. Crews are water-safety trained as well as CAA-licensed. Anything we cannot legally do on the river, we say before you book rather than after.
Edited video, stills, orthomosaics and inspection reports follow the flight within 48 hours. Contact the operations desk to check dates in Mortlake and get a written quote. There is no obligation attached to an enquiry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you launch from the bank rather than a vessel in Mortlake?
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.
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.
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.
