About our thermal roof survey in Coney Hall
What a thermal camera can show depends a lot on the weather. It’s useful to have a sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air. Rain, wind and cloud can all make the patterns weaker. We talk through the forecast when booking, and our report notes the conditions and how they affected what we saw. If you are worried about damp around roof outlets and upstands and thin or uneven insulation in the roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
London airspace is busy and tightly controlled: there are flight restriction zones around Heathrow, London City and London Heliport, and restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs. Every address in Coney Hall is checked before any drone flight, and where permission is needed, the flight waits for it.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

Practical tips
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Don’t climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
The report explains the conditions on the day and how they affected the images. It helps you judge how firm each finding is.
Check that loft insulation is laid evenly and hasn’t been pushed aside. Gaps frequently appear after work in the loft.
How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It typically takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In Coney Hall, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. London parking is often by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- You let us know about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Find any records of previous roof work

Questions from Coney Hall
How do I find out if my home in Coney Hall is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Coney Hall?
Sometimes, yes. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
What conditions are best for thermal imaging?
Conditions on the day have a big effect on what the camera can show. A dry surface, little wind and a sunny spell beforehand help most. Our report notes the conditions and how they affected the findings.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Airspace, weather and Coney Hall roofs
Addington Palace, about 1.2 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Coney Hall. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Coney Hall is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space as you book. If you look after a building like Forest Academy, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

Why act early in Coney Hall
Without thermal imaging, the only way to see how far water has spread is often to open up the roof. It helps when deciding whether to patch an area or replace the roof. Many older London roofs have only old felt under the slates, or no underlay at all, so once the slates or flashings let water past, little stops it reaching ceilings. Left alone, that means wet timbers and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the roof fault itself.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

How the survey changes by roof type
Loft insulation
In the loft space, the camera can pick up gaps and thin areas of insulation. We inspect the loft where it can be reached safely.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s happening underneath. We back up what the camera shows with a look in the loft where we can.
Do you need a thermal roof survey in Coney Hall?
Unexplained damp is one of the main reasons people ask for thermal imaging. A leak may start well away from where the stain appears. Temperature patterns can help narrow down where to look.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Stains that keep coming back
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
For businesses in and around places such as The Mall, large commercial roofs are frequently easiest to see from above or with a thermal imager.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
