Thames Towage Filming at Putney Reach
Specialist over-water thames towage filming at Putney Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
We run drone operations at Putney Reach throughout the year, in all tide states. Our crews pair CAA-licensed drone pilots with working river skippers who read tide, traffic and weather off the water rather than off a map. Small jobs are welcome; a single vessel pass is as valid a brief as a week of coverage.
Operations at Putney Reach are timed to the tide and to gaps in commercial river traffic. Capture is in RAW throughout, leaving headroom for grading or photogrammetric processing. A contingency window is built in wherever the shot depends on conditions.
Any Putney Reach operation is logged with the river authorities before the crew arrives. Crews are water-safety trained as well as CAA-licensed. Our river risk assessments are written to be read, not to satisfy a filing requirement.
Delivery is by secure cloud transfer with the raw capture archived as backup. Talk to our skippers before you commit. They will tell you quickly whether the shot is achievable. We can hold a provisional tide window while you confirm internally.

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.
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.
How does the tide affect a shoot at Putney Reach?
Tide decides what is visible, what is navigable and where we can launch and recover. We plan Putney Reach operations around the tide table first and build the shot list around the window that gives you the best water.
