Boat Filming London at Putney Reach

Specialist over-water boat filming london at Putney Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.

Recent Work

Selected work from across London and the Thames.

Our boat filming london team is authorised and equipped for operations at Putney Reach. 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 identify launch and recovery points at Putney Reach that work at the state of tide on the day. Output can be broadcast-ready ProRes, high-bitrate RAW, or georeferenced survey data. Where the site is a live wharf or works, we operate to the principal contractor's permit system.

Riparian landowners and pier operators at Putney Reach are contacted ahead of the date. Failsafe return-to-home points account for drift, tide and a moving launch platform. 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. Talk to our skippers before you commit. They will tell you quickly whether the shot is achievable. Happy to advise on feasibility even if you end up not booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does river work at Putney Reach 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.

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.

Can you launch from the bank rather than a vessel at Putney Reach?

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.
