Thermal roof survey in Cubitt Town: what you get
A thermal survey can point to places where heat is escaping through the roof. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves frequently show up as temperature differences. The difference shows most clearly when it is warm inside and cold outside. The report shows the images and explains what they may mean. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. Typical surveys look at damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys and damp around roof outlets and upstands, on pitched roof slopes, flat roofs and ceilings below the roof.
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 Cubitt Town as anywhere. Let us know about the building and access as you book. The extra view helps most on steep slopes, tall stacks and rear additions.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Inside the roof space, thermal images can help with damp around stacks, valleys and roof windows. We check any patterns with moisture readings.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Water under a GRP roof can reach the timber deck. Thermal imaging can suggest where that may be happening.
What a survey costs
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How big the roof is
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Do not climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
You also get an in-person consultation with a Premium Survey, giving you the chance to talk through the images and findings. A follow-up 12 months later is included as well.
After repairs or a new covering, a later survey can confirm things are dry in suitable weather.
Drones, thermal imaging and Cubitt Town roofs
Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often with Welsh slate roofs. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. In a house like that, shared stacks, party-wall upstands and lead flashings all need looking at as far as they can be seen. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. Within a mile and a half or so of Cubitt Town there are several hotels, and like offices and blocks, hotels often sit under flat roofs. For hotels and other commercial buildings, large roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.
Queen's House, about 1.1 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Cubitt Town. For older roofs nearby, a look from above or with a thermal imager is a hands-off way to check condition. For hotels and guest houses around Cubitt Town, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Christ Church, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.

What happens on the day
We check the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging, as far as the space allows. The whole visit typically takes between one and two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. From the street, a London terrace usually shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Cubitt Town we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Let us know who holds the keys.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Before the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Cubitt Town: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for a survey in Cubitt Town?
It rarely stops a survey, but it’s worth planning. Let us know the parking rules on your street and we will work around them.
Is my home in Cubitt Town listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
What happens next?
You receive the written report by email, with photographs and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What’s the best way to book?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Give us the address and some details about the roof. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are usually harder to read. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we combine it with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access.
