Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Filmore Hill
Will you come out to Filmore Hill?
Yes. Filmore Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Filmore Hill?
Yes, Filmore Hill is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Filmore Hill as anywhere else.
What can thermal imaging tell me about my roof?
The camera records how the surface temperature varies. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or heat escaping. Findings are checked with moisture readings.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Let us know which days suit you when you book.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply call 07833 053749 or email us with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Does the weather affect a thermal survey?
Conditions on the day have a big effect on what the camera can show. Dry, calm weather after some sun gives the best chance of clear images. We record the conditions in the report, so you know how much weight to give the images.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.
Thermal roof survey in Filmore Hill
A thermal camera can help when the cause of damp is not obvious. Leaks often run along a roof before they appear on a ceiling, and the camera can show patterns that help us follow it. The images are used alongside a visual inspection and moisture readings, so the findings do not rely on the camera alone. If you’re worried about wet insulation beneath the membrane and areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on commercial roofs, flat roofs and pitched roof slopes alike.
Older buildings in small places like Filmore Hill may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, so it’s a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What else we do in Filmore Hill
How the survey changes by roof type
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Built-up felt and asphalt roofs can hide trapped water for a long time. Thermal imaging helps suggest where it is, when the conditions allow.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Because these membranes are thin, patterns from below often show. Reflections from shiny surfaces can affect readings, which we allow for.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Filmore Hill
For buyers, a thermal survey adds detail that a visual inspection cannot give. Hidden problems found before exchange can be raised with the seller or agent. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Common roof problems in Filmore Hill
Not every roof problem shows on the surface. Wet insulation, gaps in insulation and heat loss are often invisible from outside. A thermal camera adds another way of finding them.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Cold areas below the roof
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity Church, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

How it works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes between one and two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere like Filmore Hill needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Getting a price
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Useful tips for Filmore Hill property owners
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- Do not switch the heating off ahead of the visit
The report explains the conditions on the day and how they affected the images. That way you know how much weight to give each finding.
Check that loft insulation is laid evenly and hasn’t been pushed aside. Gaps frequently appear after work in the loft.
