About our thermal roof survey in Brook Street
Thermal imaging is useful when a damp patch has no clear cause. Leaks often run along a roof before they appear on a ceiling, and the camera can show patterns that help us follow it. The images are used alongside a visual inspection and moisture readings, so the findings do not rely on the camera alone. We survey flat roofs, pitched roof slopes and commercial roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are wet areas near outlets and upstands and damp patches with no obvious cause.
In a small place like Brook Street, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Brook Street
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in, at a time agreed beforehand. We survey on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays, which can make access easier.
Brook Street: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Brook Street?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Brook Street is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the property.
Do you cover smaller places like Brook Street?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will I get photos?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, which makes the report easy to follow.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
The camera can point to heat loss and gaps in insulation. We don’t give energy ratings or heat loss calculations, but the images show where improvements may help.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
Is thermal imaging included in your surveys?
Our Premium Survey, from £400, includes thermal imaging. An in-person consultation and a follow-up 12 months later are included too. For bigger commercial roofs, we quote on size.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
What this survey cannot tell you
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
- A formal energy assessment

Drones, thermal imaging and Brook Street roofs
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. With Ockenden Manor about 1.3 miles south, Brook Street sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.

What else we do in Brook Street
Checking the roof from ground level
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Roof by roof
Parapets, valleys and junctions
When valley or parapet gutters overflow, water can get into walls and ceilings. Thermal images, checked with moisture readings, can help trace it.
Loft insulation
From inside the loft, thermal imaging can show gaps in insulation and cold spots. We inspect the loft where it can be reached safely.
How it works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. In a small place like Brook Street, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Keep pets in another room
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Getting a price
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Advice
Tips that help
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Do not climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Heat the home normally on the days before
After the visit, we put the thermal images, photos and moisture readings into one report. We explain what each image may mean, alongside what we recommend. With a Premium Survey, you get the report the same day.
Make sure loft insulation covers the whole area and hasn’t been disturbed. Insulation is often moved when people work in the loft space.
