Thames Drone Filming in Teddington

Specialist over-water thames drone 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. The work ranges from single vessel shoots to multi-day coverage of marine civil projects. Where the river is busy, patience beats improvisation, and we plan for it.

Flight planning in Teddington accounts for wind funnelling along the river and around structures. High-zoom and thermal payloads cover structural inspection of piers, bridges and river walls. Light on the water changes fast, so we will suggest the state of tide and time of day that suits the subject.

Coordination with the Port of London Authority is standard on every flight in Teddington. Documentation is available up front: permissions, marine insurance and the risk assessment. If wind or river conditions turn on the day, the pilot's call is final.

Turnaround is same-day for raw and 24 to 48 hours for finished output. Share the brief and we will confirm crew availability against the tide table the same day. Terms, marine insurance and permissions can all be reviewed before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much notice do you need for river work in Teddington?

More than for a land-based shoot, because PLA notification and the tide table both constrain the date. A week or two is comfortable; tell us the deadline and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable.

What does river work in Teddington 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.

Who owns the footage from the Teddington shoot?

Licensing is agreed before the flight and written into the quote. Tell us whether the material is for broadcast, marketing, an operational record or a planning submission and we scope the licence accordingly.
