Thames Drone Surveys at Woolwich Reach
Specialist over-water thames drone surveys at Woolwich Reach for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
We work at Woolwich Reach regularly, and river operations are the core of what we do. Our pilots hold marine radio and work directly alongside skippers during the flight. If the shot is not achievable in the window you have, we will say so at the enquiry stage.
Where the Woolwich Reach flight passes near bridges or moorings, we plan clearances and abort routes first. Cinema, inspection and mapping payloads can all be flown on the same tide window. A contingency window is built in wherever the shot depends on conditions.
Our crews hold marine VHF and stay in contact with river traffic while the aircraft is airborne. Our pilots hold advanced CAA permissions covering congested river corridors and historic crossings. We do not fly outside our permissions, whatever the production schedule says.
Raw material is handed over on the day, with edits, maps or reports inside 24 to 48 hours. Contact our marine desk with the Woolwich Reach brief and we will confirm the tide windows that work. If the tides do not work for your deadline, we will tell you rather than string it out.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does river work at Woolwich Reach 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 Woolwich Reach 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.
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.
