Thermal imaging roof survey in Kensal Green, Greater London
We carry out thermal roof surveys in Kensal Green and the rest of Greater London. Surveys run on any day of the week.
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
What you can safely check yourself
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.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Kensal Green
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, so it is easy to see which part of the roof each one shows. We explain what each pattern may mean, what the moisture readings found and what we recommend. Premium reports are sent the same day. You can talk the findings through with us at the in-person consultation. A follow-up 12 months later is included too. Common reasons to book are cold areas below the roof and possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering, across insulated roof spaces, flat roofs and loft conversions.
London roofs sit shoulder to shoulder in terraces and blocks, which makes care around neighbours part of the job. We take care to focus on the roof we’ve been asked to look at. Mention access, height and anything unusual about the building when you book. Steep slopes, tall chimneys and rear additions are where the extra view helps most.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Kensal Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Kensal Green?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Kensal Green?
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.
What’s in the survey report?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photos throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
What can thermal imaging tell me about my roof?
A thermal camera shows differences in surface temperature. Those patterns can point to trapped moisture, missing insulation or heat loss. We check what it shows with moisture readings.
What conditions are best for thermal imaging?
The results depend on the weather. Dry, calm weather after some sun gives the best chance of clear images. Our report notes the conditions and how they affected the findings.
Is thermal imaging included in your surveys?
Thermal imaging is included in our Premium Survey, from £400. That also includes a full inspection, a drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a same-day report.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
You can pass the report to a roofer so they can see where the problem areas seem to be. Because the images are paired with photos, it is easy to find each area on the roof.
Check that loft insulation is laid evenly and hasn’t been pushed aside. Gaps often appear after work in the loft.
Airspace, weather and Kensal Green roofs
Kensal Green has a number of hotels within about a mile and a half, and like offices and blocks, hotels often sit under flat roofs. If you look after one, a large roof can be surveyed without guests having anyone working above them. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
For businesses in and around places such as Westfield London, big, flat commercial roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help most. For hotels and guest houses around Kensal Green, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest, so it’s worth knowing the roof’s condition. If you look after a building such as Princess Frederica CofE Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
To price your survey, we check:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- House, block, shop or office
- The roof’s overall size
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Helping us price your survey
There’s no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take an hour or two for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Surveys in Kensal Green can be booked for any day of the week. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Before we arrive
- Check pets are kept safely away
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Booking a survey

Related advice
Why act early in Kensal Green
Once insulation under a membrane is wet, it tends to stay wet. Over time, it insulates less well and can harm the deck. Finding them early can mean a smaller job. Work on a London roof is rarely simple to arrange, with parking, neighbours and access all to think about. That’s a good reason to find problems early, while there’s time to plan.
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.
