Thermal roof surveys around Leamouth
The wider area around Leamouth has a long history of building, with Queen's House about 2.1 miles south. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. The flight restriction zone around London City Airport covers Leamouth, or comes right up to its edge. If the drone is used for your survey, we ask the airport for permission first, and only fly if it is given.
Take a building like St Luke's Primary School: a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. Shop and office owners around Stratford Centre may find that thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof.

Do you need a thermal roof survey in Leamouth?
Some owners book because the rooms under the roof feel cold. Missing or slipped insulation can stand out as temperature differences, especially when it’s warm inside and cold outside.
Common reasons to book include:
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Cold areas below the roof
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Gaps in loft insulation
Hotels and guest houses near Leamouth cannot easily close rooms for a leak, so it pays to find faults before guests do.
What to check before booking
- What insurance they carry
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether VAT is added on top
Why it’s worth a survey now in Leamouth
A damp patch that keeps coming back usually has a cause that hasn’t been found. Thermal imaging with moisture readings can help narrow it down, rather than more guesswork. Work on a London roof is rarely simple to arrange, with parking, neighbours and access all to think about. Knowing what’s needed early gives you time to plan it calmly, rather than in a rush after a leak.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 inc. VAT. We’ll tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What you get with us
- An independent view of the roof
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Prices that include VAT

What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Roof area
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £400, including VAT.
Booking your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
If you’re buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.
FAQs for Leamouth
Is parking a problem for a survey in Leamouth?
Parking in Leamouth, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
How do I find out if my home in Leamouth is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone.
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 applicable, structural analysis and a same-day report.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are frequently shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Leamouth
With a portfolio of properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To arrange surveys for several addresses, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
How it works
The visit normally starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. All told, expect roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. In Leamouth, visits are available on weekdays and at weekends. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a nearby bay, and to clear a path to the loft hatch. Upstairs rooms at the back are useful too, as they often give the best view of a rear addition.
- 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.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
Before we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at

Checking the roof from the ground
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey.
