About our thermal roof survey in Enfield
A thermal survey is not a quick fix for every roof problem. Sun, shade, reflective surfaces and wind can all change what the camera shows. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. Our report says plainly what the camera picked up and how sure we can be. If a finding can’t be confirmed, the report suggests a next step. We’re often asked to look into damp patches with no obvious cause and cold areas below the roof, on insulated roof spaces, 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. We take care to focus on the roof we’ve been asked to look at, in Enfield 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.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Enfield
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work with less disruption.
Useful tips for Enfield property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
- File the images with your roof records
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
Once we have been, the thermal images, photos and readings go into a single report. We explain what each image may mean, alongside what we recommend. Premium reports are sent the same day.
Have small defects in the covering fixed early. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.

Can I check my roof myself?
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
What happens on the day
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect between one and two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- 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.
- 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
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
How to book
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

Airspace, weather and Enfield roofs
Outer London has a good many Victorian and Edwardian terraces with slate roofs, but also a great many interwar semis, frequently with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles. If your home in Enfield is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Many roofs like these cannot be judged properly from the pavement, and that is where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Andrew, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image. For a London address like Enfield, it helps to know about controlled parking before the day, along with any off-street space. If you run a business near Edmonton Green Shopping Centre, large commercial roofs are often easiest to see by drone or thermal camera.
Enfield is about 9 miles north of St Pancras, in Greater London. We survey roofs in Enfield and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Our area takes in places right across Greater London, large and small. There is also a page for London.

What affects the price in Enfield
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Roof area
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
To get a price for thermal roof surveys in Enfield, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. The address, the type of property and what you need to know help us give you an accurate price.
Honest limits
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check
- Proving moisture from the images alone
- An energy rating for the building

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Enfield
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Enfield?
Sometimes, yes. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well.
Is drone flying allowed in Enfield?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. 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. Every flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first, including zones around airports and prisons. High wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
It can help narrow down where water may be getting in. Water can travel under a covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help follow it. It is used alongside a close inspection and moisture readings, as the camera alone can’t prove a leak.
Is Enfield in your area?
Yes. We carry out thermal roof surveys in Enfield, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
What conditions are best for thermal imaging?
The weather makes a real difference. It works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind. Rain and strong wind can make the images less clear, so we talk through the forecast as you book.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How does a thermal imaging roof survey work?
It records surface temperature across the roof. Differences can suggest wet areas, missing insulation or heat loss, and we check them with moisture readings.
