About our thermal roof survey in Raynes Park
Thermal imaging is a useful tool, but it has limits. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. The report is clear about what the images show and what they do not. Where something cannot be confirmed, we say what would help next. We survey flat roofs, loft conversions and pitched roof slopes, and people most frequently book us about patches of heat loss across the roof and wet insulation beneath the membrane.
London’s roofs are frequently hard to see from the street: butterfly roofs behind parapets, dormer tops and flat roofs over back additions. Drone photos and thermal images can show parts of a roof that are hard to reach safely. Weather on the day decides whether it goes ahead, in Raynes Park as anywhere. Thermal images show surface temperature, not water itself, so findings are checked with moisture readings.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
After the visit, we put the thermal images, photographs and moisture readings into one report. We explain what each image may mean, with our recommendations. With a Premium Survey, you get the report the same day.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
When to book a survey in Raynes Park
After a long-running leak, insulation under a flat roof can stay wet. Knowing how much of the roof is affected helps decide between a local repair and more. A thermal survey, checked with moisture readings, can give a much clearer picture.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near St Saviour's Church, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Their insurance cover

What we can’t see
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
- An energy rating for the building
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.
What we check
- Ceilings below the roof
- Flat roofs
- Loft conversions
- Insulated roof spaces
- Commercial roofs
- Pitched roof slopes
What we do, step by step
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. For a visit in Raynes Park, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor the property is on, any shared entrance and loft access. On the day, the roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Raynes Park questions
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Raynes Park?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Raynes Park?
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.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
What insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Raynes Park?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
It often helps show where to look. Patterns can suggest where trapped water has spread. We combine it with a visual inspection and moisture readings because the camera can’t confirm water on its own.
What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- Which survey package you book
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Roof area
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £400, including VAT.
What to let us know when you get in touch
These details help when you get in touch:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Thermal roof surveys in Raynes Park: local notes
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. In outer London, interwar semis with hipped, tiled roofs sit alongside older slate-roofed terraces. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up aerial photos and thermal images help.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as West Wimbledon Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. With Southside House about 0.9 miles north, the area around Raynes Park has a long history. Close-up aerial shots and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it.
