Fuller Street Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof in Fuller Street, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands

Prices for thermal roof surveys in Fuller Street
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Height and safe access
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Roof area
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The address and postcode of the property
- When you need the report by
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or email us. We’ll suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Fuller Street
Thermal imaging is a useful tool, but it has limits. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. 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. Where something can’t be confirmed, we say what would help next. If you’ve noticed patches of heat loss across the roof and damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Fuller Street, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

Questions from Fuller Street
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Fuller Street?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover Fuller Street?
Yes, Fuller Street is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
It’s a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. The results depend on conditions on the day. Where it can’t be pinned down, the report suggests a next step, such as electronic leak detection.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we are not structural engineers and do not carry out calculations. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
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. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when booking.
What does the report include?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photos. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
What we are asked to look at in Fuller Street
After a long-running leak, insulation under a flat roof can stay wet. Owners want to know how far it has spread before deciding what to do. A thermal survey, checked with moisture readings, can give a much clearer picture.
Common reasons to book include:
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Stains that keep coming back
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
In and around Fuller Street, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What follow-up you get after the report
- What experience they bring
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Roof by roof
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Water under felt or asphalt can stay hidden for years. The camera can give clues to where it’s sitting, given suitable conditions on the day.
Loft insulation
Heat loss shows most clearly when it’s warm inside and colder outside. Our report notes how the conditions affected the images.

Drones, thermal imaging and Fuller Street roofs
Older buildings in Essex often have clay tiles and weatherboarding, while many towns grew with post-war and newer estates. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up close-up aerial shots and thermal images help. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
The streets around a church like Church of St Mary the Virgin are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.

What we cannot see
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.

- Ceilings below the roof
- Flat roofs
- Insulated roof spaces
- Loft conversions
How the survey works
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes between one and two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Fuller Street, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We look at the roof from the ground, from windows and from the roof itself where it is safe.
- A thermal camera records how the surface temperature varies across the roof.
- Areas that look unusual on the camera are checked with moisture readings where possible.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
Before the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Getting a price
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
