Thames Brand Activation Filming in Putney

Specialist over-water thames brand activation filming at Putney for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.

UAS London delivers thames brand activation filming in Putney on the tidal River Thames. 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. Stills and video come from the same tide window rather than two separate mobilisations.

Flight planning in Putney accounts for wind funnelling along the river and around structures. High-zoom and thermal payloads cover structural inspection of piers, bridges and river walls. Time on site is agreed in advance so vessel and shore teams can plan around it.

Our crews hold marine VHF and stay in contact with river traffic while the aircraft is airborne. Documentation is available up front: permissions, marine insurance and the risk assessment. Our river risk assessments are written to be read, not to satisfy a filing requirement.

Edited video, stills, orthomosaics and inspection reports follow the flight within 48 hours. Share the brief and we will confirm crew availability against the tide table the same day. We are straightforward about what the river will and will not allow.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

What deliverables can you provide from Putney?

Broadcast-ready video, high-resolution stills, georeferenced orthomosaics of the bank and foreshore, 3D models, or written inspection reports. Raw capture is handed over on the day and processed output follows within 24 to 48 hours.

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.
