Thames Towage Filming in Putney

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

Recent Work

Selected work from across London and the Thames.

Operations in Putney draw on both our aviation and our marine experience. We supply broadcast media, survey data and structural inspection imagery from the same operating base. We can attend a pre-start or toolbox meeting where the project requires one.

We check tide state, river traffic and bridge clearances before fixing a date in Putney. Dual-operator setups let the pilot hold visual line of sight while the camera tracks independently. Battery and crew changes are planned around the window so nothing is lost mid-sequence.

Riparian landowners and pier operators in Putney are contacted ahead of the date. Our pilots hold advanced CAA permissions covering congested river corridors and historic crossings. Where the public has access to the foreshore, the plan accounts for them explicitly.

If weather or tide closes the window, we rebook the next viable slot at no extra cost. Get in touch to discuss thames towage filming in Putney and we will quote without obligation. Most enquiries get a same-day response.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

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.

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 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.
