About our thermal roof survey in Connaught Village
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. It also includes a drone inspection where it applies, a structural analysis and a same-day report. There’s an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. We survey pitched roof slopes, ceilings below the roof and commercial roofs, and people most often book us about areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions and leaks that are hard to trace.
London roofs sit shoulder to shoulder in terraces and blocks, so privacy and neighbours matter as much as the view. Images are taken to show the roof we are surveying, with care for neighbours’ privacy, in Connaught Village as anywhere. Tell us about the building and access when you book. Steep slopes, tall chimneys and rear additions are where the extra view helps most.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What happens on the day
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a photo-illustrated written report, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. In a London area like Connaught Village, the main things to sort out are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. On the day, the roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it is safe.
- 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.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Connaught Village
Is drone flying allowed in Connaught Village?
Normally it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. The flight restriction zone around London Heliport in Battersea comes within about 1 mile of Connaught Village. The exact boundary is checked for each address before any flight, and a roof inside it needs permission before we fly. The restricted area over Hyde Park, where drone flights need permission from NATS, is about 1 mile from Connaught Village. We check whether the address falls inside it, and if it does we apply for permission, which isn’t always given. 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. A small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and the rest of the survey does not depend on the drone.
Is my home in Connaught Village listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
What does the report include?
A report with photographs, covering the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend, with the most urgent first where relevant. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and they go into the written report.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
How much does a thermal roof survey cost?
It comes with our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. That also includes a full inspection, a drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a same-day report.
Is Connaught Village in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs in Connaught Village and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across London and the South East. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Useful tips for Connaught Village property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Tell us where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
We note the weather and surface conditions, and how they may have affected the results. That way you know how much weight to give each finding.
Deal with small splits and lifted seams promptly. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.
Roof by roof
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
On big single-ply roofs, the camera helps show where to take readings. It focuses the survey on the areas that matter.
Loft insulation
Heat loss shows most clearly when it is warm inside and colder outside. Our report notes how the conditions affected the images.
Airspace, weather and Connaught Village roofs
Connaught Village has a number of hotels within about a mile and a half. For hotels and other commercial buildings, large roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once. Close to the centre of London, a great many houses are Victorian or Edwardian terraces, many of them roofed in Welsh slate. From the street you may see only a parapet, with a butterfly roof and a valley gutter behind it draining to the back. Shared chimney stacks, party-wall upstands and lead work come with this kind of house. 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.
If you run a hotel or guest house in or near Connaught Village, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use, so it pays to find faults before guests do. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hampden Gurney CofE Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Common roof problems in Connaught Village
Building owners and managing agents use thermal surveys to plan work on larger flat roofs. It can suggest which areas may be wet and which seem dry, so moisture readings can be targeted.
Look out for signs like these:
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
Parking in Connaught Village, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day easier.
