Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Parsons Green
Thermal imaging works best in the right conditions. A sunny day before the survey, a dry roof surface and little wind all help. Rain, wind and cloud can all make the patterns weaker. We talk through the forecast when booking, and the report explains how the conditions on the day affected the results. Typical surveys look at damp around chimneys and parapets and patches of heat loss across the roof, across commercial roofs, flat roofs and loft conversions.
London roofs sit shoulder to shoulder in terraces and blocks, so privacy and neighbours matter as much as the view. Images are taken to show the roof we are surveying, with care for neighbours’ privacy. 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.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

How we price thermal roof surveys
We confirm the price for your survey before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How big the roof is
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
What we need to know
We will typically ask about:
- Anything about access we should know
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
Our phone lines are open seven days a week. To book or ask a question, call 07833 053749 or email us.
What this survey can’t tell you
Before booking, it is worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- Confirming water without moisture readings
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor

Flying and imaging in Parsons Green
The flight restriction zone around London Heliport in Battersea covers Parsons Green, or comes right up to its edge. If your survey includes the drone, we ask the heliport for permission first, and only fly if it is given. Many homes in inner London are Victorian and Edwardian terraces, often with Welsh slate roofs. A butterfly roof with a central valley gutter, tucked behind a parapet wall, is common on these houses. If your home in Parsons Green is one of them, lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are part of the picture too. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
With Fulham Palace about 0.8 miles west, the area around Parsons Green has a long history. Close-up aerial shots and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it. For site and facilities teams at buildings like Lady Margaret School, big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.

Other services in Parsons Green
Do you need a thermal roof survey in Parsons Green?
People often book a thermal survey when a damp patch has no obvious cause. Water can travel under a roof covering or along timbers before it shows inside. The camera helps narrow the search.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Stains that keep coming back
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
Hotels and guest houses near Parsons Green can’t easily close rooms for a leak, so it pays to find faults before guests do.
What to check before booking
- How soon the report will arrive
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Slate and tile roofs are often harder to read with a thermal camera, because of the air space beneath. We back up what the camera shows with a look in the loft where we can.
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP roofs are laid over timber boards, so trapped moisture can affect the deck. The camera can help show where to look.
FAQs for Parsons Green
Are there drone restrictions around Parsons Green?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Parsons Green is inside, or right on the edge of, the flight restriction zone around London Heliport in Battersea. Before any flight there, we ask the heliport for permission, and the flight only goes ahead if it’s given. 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. Each address is checked against all of them before the drone goes up. High wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
Is my home in Parsons Green listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. 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 thermal imaging included in your surveys?
It comes with our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. That also includes a full inspection, a drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a same-day report.
When does the report arrive?
Report times are set by the package. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, tell us when you book.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
It frequently helps show where to look. Water can travel under a covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help follow it. It is used alongside a close inspection and moisture readings, as the camera alone can’t prove a leak.
How long does the survey take?
It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. The report follows by email.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In Parsons Green, 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. A back bedroom window can be the best vantage point for a rear addition, so we may ask to use one.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there’s safe access, in the loft.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Check pets are kept safely away
