Burley Street: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Burley Street?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is Burley Street within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
What does the report include?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photos throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access when you book.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are normally harder to read. The air space under slates and tiles can hide patterns, so we combine it with an inspection from the loft where there is safe access.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
Gaps and thin areas of insulation can show up on the camera. It shows most clearly when it is warm inside and cold outside. Where we can reach the loft safely, we check there too.
About our thermal roof survey in Burley Street
Our thermal survey records how the surface temperature varies across your roof. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or places where heat is getting out. The camera doesn’t see water itself, so findings are checked with moisture readings. Thermal imaging is included in our Premium Survey, from £400. Conditions on the day affect the results, and the report explains how. We survey loft conversions, ceilings below the roof and insulated roof spaces, and people most often book us about areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions and gaps in loft insulation.
Older buildings in small places like Burley Street may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What this survey cannot tell you
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- A formal energy assessment
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture

What we’re asked to look at in Burley Street
Not every roof problem shows on the surface. Trapped moisture, missing insulation and hidden heat loss are three examples. A thermal camera adds another way of finding them.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
Take a building like Burley Primary School: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

What we look for on each type of roof
Loft insulation
From inside the loft, thermal imaging can show gaps in insulation and cold spots. We look where there’s safe access.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Junctions where roofs meet walls, parapets and valleys are common places for water to get in. Thermal imaging can help show damp patterns around them.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Landlords and agents in Burley Street book surveys as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Practical tips
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Check outlets after heavy rain
After the visit, we put the thermal images, photographs and moisture readings into one report. Each image is explained in plain words, alongside what we recommend. Premium reports are sent the same day.
Watch for new damp patches on ceilings beneath the roof. Early action keeps insulation from staying wet.
Other services in Burley Street
Airspace, weather and Burley Street roofs
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Historic houses such as Avon Tyrrell House, about 2.7 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Burley Street goes. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.

The survey, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it usually takes between one and two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Burley Street can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
