How a thermal roof survey works in Hatton
What a thermal camera can show depends a lot on the weather. It helps to have a sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air. Rain, a strong wind or heavy cloud can make the images less clear. We will discuss the weather with you when booking, and our report notes the conditions and how they affected what we saw. We survey ceilings below the roof, flat roofs and commercial roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are heat escaping through the roof and stains that keep coming back.
In London’s terraces and conversions, roofs are packed close together, which makes care around neighbours part of the job. Images are taken to show the roof we are surveying, with care for neighbours’ privacy, in Hatton as anywhere. Mention access, height and anything unusual about the building when booking. Steep slopes, tall chimneys and rear additions are where the extra view helps most.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Roof area
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The shape of the roof and its details
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Anything about access we should know
- The kind of building and roof involved
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Can I check my roof myself?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Hatton
Trapped water can harm decks, timbers and ceilings the longer it stays. Surveying sooner gives you more choice about what to do. In Hatton, as across London, an overflowing gutter soaks the wall below. A blocked outlet ignored for a winter or two can mean damp walls inside.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.

Airspace, weather and Hatton roofs
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 Hatton is one of them, bay roofs, hips and later dormers each have their own details. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from ground level, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help. With Osterley House about 3.4 miles north-east, Hatton sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Hatton. For hotels and guest houses around Hatton, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest, so it pays to find faults before guests do. Shop and office owners around Treaty Centre may find that big, flat commercial roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images help most.
Hatton is about 1 mile north of Feltham, in Greater London. Whether the building in Hatton is a house, a flat or a commercial unit, the roof can be surveyed on a weekday or at the weekend.

Roof by roof
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
On larger commercial single-ply roofs, thermal imaging can help target moisture readings. That makes the survey more focused.
Loft insulation
Heat loss shows most clearly when it is warm inside and colder outside. We explain in the report how the conditions on the day affected what we saw.

Hatton questions
How do I find out if my home in Hatton is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Hatton?
It depends on the street. Where there are permit zones, a visitor permit or nearby pay-and-display bay works well, and a driveway is even better.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is 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.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report, and it does not include calculations. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
When does the report arrive?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. Each one is emailed.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and they go into the written report.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Tell us where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
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.
Deal with small splits and lifted seams promptly. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. In a London area like Hatton, the main things to sort out are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. On the day, the roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
