Thermal imaging roof survey in Bounds Green, Greater London
A careful look at the roof at your property in Bounds Green, and put it all in a written report with photos.
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Water that travels before it shows
What we can’t see
We only report what can be seen safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
- A structural engineer’s assessment
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor

About our thermal roof survey in Bounds Green
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. It also includes a drone inspection where applicable, a structural analysis and a same-day report. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. To book, just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’ve noticed. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. We survey ceilings below the roof, commercial roofs and flat roofs, and people most frequently book us about damp around chimneys and parapets and heat escaping through the roof.
Flying in London takes more checking than most places: restriction zones surround Heathrow, London City Airport and London Heliport, and Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs have restricted areas of their own. Every address in Bounds Green is checked before any drone flight, and permission is never taken for granted.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

For landlords and managing agents
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant in advance.
Flying and imaging in Bounds Green
Historic houses like Bruce Castle, about 2.2 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Bounds Green goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. Hips, bay roofs and later loft conversions are typical of those semis, if your home is one of them. Many roofs like these can’t be judged properly from the pavement, and that’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
For a London address like Bounds Green, it helps to know about controlled parking before the day. Take an older house close to St Barnabas Greek Orthodox Church: tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. Shop and office owners around The Mall Wood Green may find that big, flat commercial roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images help most.

How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take about one to two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. For a visit in Bounds Green, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. We then look at everything that’s safely in view from ground level, windows, the loft and, where it is safe, the roof itself.
- You let us know about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Advice
How we price thermal roof surveys
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How big the roof is
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Helping us price your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Bounds Green
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Bounds Green?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. London’s airspace includes flight restriction zones around Heathrow, London City Airport and London Heliport, and restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs. Each address is checked against all of them before the drone goes up. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. High wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying, and the rest of the survey doesn’t depend on the drone.
Is my home in Bounds Green listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
What can thermal imaging tell me about my roof?
The camera records how the surface temperature varies. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or heat escaping. We check what it shows with moisture readings.
Do you work in Bounds Green?
Yes. We cover Bounds Green and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across London and South East England. For a price, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
Is thermal imaging included in your surveys?
It comes with our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. The Premium Survey also covers a full inspection, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
It is useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.

What else we do in Bounds Green
Why act early in Bounds Green
Repeated repairs that do not stop a leak are a sign the source hasn’t been traced. Combining the camera with moisture readings can help find it, instead of trying repair after repair. Many older London roofs have only old felt under the slates, or no underlay at all, so a slipped slate can soon mean water inside. Left alone, that means wet timbers and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the roof fault itself.
