Thames Drone Filming in Thurrock
Specialist over-water thames drone filming at Thurrock for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
UAS London covers Thurrock as part of our tidal Thames operating area. We work for towage operators, passenger vessel companies, civil contractors and production teams. We are used to working alongside vessel crews, ground units and marshals already on site.
Where the Thurrock flight passes near bridges or moorings, we plan clearances and abort routes first. We fly marine-configured aircraft rated for the wind speeds the river corridor regularly produces. Battery and crew changes are planned around the window so nothing is lost mid-sequence.
We notify the PLA and maintain contact with London VTS throughout operations in Thurrock. We can supply method statements for the principal contractor's file where the site requires it. Anything we cannot legally do on the river, we say before you book rather than after.
We retain the raw river capture in case you need to return to it later. Share the brief and we will confirm crew availability against the tide table the same day. We can point you at Thames projects where we have done something similar.

Frequently Asked Questions
What deliverables can you provide from Thurrock?
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.
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.
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.
