How a thermal roof survey works in Nash
Your report sets out the thermal images alongside ordinary photographs, making it clear where on the roof each pattern is. We explain what each pattern may mean, what the moisture readings found and what we recommend. With a Premium Survey, the report reaches you the same day. If you have questions, the in-person consultation gives you time to go through them. A follow-up 12 months later is included too. If you’ve noticed patches of heat loss across the roof and damp that repairs haven’t cured, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on loft conversions, insulated roof spaces and ceilings below the roof alike.
London roofs sit shoulder to shoulder in terraces and blocks, so privacy and neighbours matter as much as the view. We take care to focus on the roof we have been asked to look at, in Nash as anywhere. Tell us about the building and access as you book. 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. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Common roof problems in Nash
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.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
Parking in Nash, as in most of London, takes a little planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space as you book, as a space near the door cannot be promised.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the report takes to arrive
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Are they insured for the work?
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Buyers get extra information from thermal images that the eye can miss. Hidden problems found before exchange can be raised with the seller or agent. Many older London roofs have only old felt under the slates, or no underlay at all, so once the slates or flashings let water past, little stops it reaching ceilings. Left alone, that means wet timbers and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the roof fault itself.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Nash
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Nash?
Parking in Nash, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available as you book.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Nash?
Usually it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Biggin Hill Airport is about 2 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. London’s airspace includes flight restriction zones around Heathrow, London City Airport and London Heliport, and restricted areas over Hyde Park, the City of London and the Isle of Dogs. Each address is checked against all of them before the drone goes up. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Nash?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
When does the report arrive?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline when booking.
Can thermal imaging show missing insulation?
It can show temperature patterns that point to missing or thin insulation. It shows most clearly when it’s warm inside and cold outside. Where we can reach the loft safely, we check there too.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes about one to two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. In Nash, as in much of London, plenty of properties are flats or terraces without side access, so rear slopes are viewed from windows, the loft or, where a flight is allowed, by drone. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents as you book.
- You let us know about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Tips from our surveys
Getting the most from a thermal roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- File the images with your roof records
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.
Deal with small splits and lifted seams promptly. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.
