Thermal imaging roof survey in Hampton Hill, Greater London
Get a clear view of the roof at a property in Hampton Hill. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Cold areas below the roof
Different roofs, different checks
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Damp at junctions can be hard to see by eye. A careful visual inspection goes alongside the images.
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.
How a thermal roof survey works in Hampton Hill
On a flat roof, wet insulation holds heat longer than dry insulation. So a wet patch can show as a warmer or cooler area on the camera. It helps us see how far water may have spread under the covering, which is hard to judge by eye. Moisture readings are then used to check what the camera suggests. If you’ve noticed cold spots on ceilings under the roof and water getting in at parapets and stacks, we can find out what’s behind it.
London’s roofs are frequently hard to see from the street: butterfly roofs behind parapets, dormer tops and flat roofs over back additions. That’s where a view from the air or a thermal camera helps, by showing what cannot be reached safely. Weather on the day decides whether it goes ahead, in Hampton Hill as anywhere. What a thermal image shows is temperature, so anything that looks like moisture is checked with a meter.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

What we cannot see
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
- The condition of timbers we can’t see
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Flat roofs
- Pitched roof slopes
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings below the roof
- Commercial roofs
- Insulated roof spaces
Why get it checked now?
Thermal images can suggest the extent of wet areas without cutting into the roof. That helps you and your roofer decide what really needs replacing. Many older London roofs have only old felt under the slates, or no underlay at all, so a slipped slate can soon mean water inside. Left unchecked, water soaks into timber and plaster and the damage spreads.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.
Why book with us
- Package prices that include VAT
- Surveys seven days a week
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Photographs and a written report every time
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes an hour or two for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. Many London properties are flats or terraces with no side access, so the back of the roof is frequently seen from upstairs windows, from inside or, where a flight is allowed, from the air. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, tell us when booking.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.

FAQs for Hampton Hill
How do I find out if my home in Hampton Hill is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is drone flying allowed in Hampton Hill?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Across London there are restriction zones around Heathrow, London City and London Heliport, plus restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs. Every London address is checked against them before a flight. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Does thermal imaging detect leaks directly?
No, not on its own. It shows surface temperature, and wet areas can show up because they hold heat differently. We confirm what it suggests with moisture readings.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are normally harder to read. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we also look from the loft where it’s safe.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
How does a thermal imaging roof survey work?
A thermal camera shows differences in surface temperature. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or heat escaping. We check what it shows with moisture readings.

Flying and imaging in Hampton Hill
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. If your home in Hampton Hill 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’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
Hampton Hill is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space as you book, as a space near the door cannot be promised. Take a building like Hampton Hill Junior School: a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. With Strawberry Hill House about 1.2 miles north-east, the area around Hampton Hill has a long history.

Useful tips for Hampton Hill property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Do not climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
Many people send the report to roofers, who can then quote for the areas shown. Each thermal image is matched to a normal photo, so the areas are easy to locate.
Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof in suitable weather.
