River Event Filming in Teddington

Specialist over-water river event filming at Teddington for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.

Recent Work

Selected work from across London and the Thames.

Operations in Teddington draw on both our aviation and our marine experience. Clients here include TV productions, marine contractors, port operators and engineering teams. Early starts are normal here, because the best water and the best light rarely coincide with office hours.

We identify launch and recovery points in Teddington that work at the state of tide on the day. Where the shot demands it, we launch and recover from an MCA-coded support vessel. Time on site is agreed in advance so vessel and shore teams can plan around it.

We notify the PLA and maintain contact with London VTS throughout operations in Teddington. Our pilots hold advanced CAA permissions covering congested river corridors and historic crossings. Our river risk assessments are written to be read, not to satisfy a filing requirement.

Survey data from Teddington is processed and returned within two working days. Contact the operations desk to check dates in Teddington and get a written quote. The quickest route is a short email with the location, the subject and the deadline.

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.

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.

What deliverables can you provide from Teddington?

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.
