Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Stonebridge Park
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. You also get a drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a report on the same day. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. If you are worried about leaks far from where the stain appears and areas of a flat roof that may hold water, we can find out what’s behind it, on pitched roof slopes, commercial roofs and loft conversions alike.
In London’s terraces and conversions, roofs are packed close together, so privacy and neighbours matter as much as the view. Images are taken to show the roof we’re surveying, with care for neighbours’ privacy. Mention access, height and anything unusual about the building when booking. The extra view helps most on steep slopes, tall stacks and rear additions.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Useful tips for Stonebridge Park property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- File the images with your roof records
- 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’s easy to find each area on the roof.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Early action keeps insulation from staying wet.

What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes between one and two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. From the street, a London terrace usually shows only its front slope or parapet, so a visit in Stonebridge Park moves between viewpoints: the pavement, upstairs windows, the loft and any safe spot at the back. If other people live in the building, let us know who can let us into the shared parts.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
How to prepare
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
Stonebridge Park: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Stonebridge Park?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is drone flying allowed in Stonebridge Park?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. 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. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We’re roof surveyors, not structural engineers. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Do you work in Stonebridge Park?
Yes, we do. We carry out thermal roof surveys in Stonebridge Park, and the service is the same as everywhere else we work.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are normally harder to read. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we combine it with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We’ll talk about access as you book.
Drones, thermal imaging and Stonebridge Park roofs
Further from the centre, London’s housing takes in interwar semis with hipped roofs in clay or concrete tiles as well as slate-roofed terraces. Bay roofs, hip ridges and dormers from later loft conversions are the details that set these houses apart. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up close-up aerial shots and thermal images help. Stonebridge Park has a number of hotels within about a mile and a half, and like offices and blocks, hotels often sit under flat roofs. For hotels and other commercial buildings, large roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.
A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Stonebridge Park means lost rooms as well as repairs, so it pays to find faults before guests do. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near St Michael the Archangel, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps. Controlled parking zones are common in London, so mention any permit rules for Stonebridge Park, along with any off-street space.

What we look for on each type of roof
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Thin membranes can show patterns from the layers beneath. Shiny surfaces can reflect heat, so we take care reading the images.
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.
Can I check my roof myself?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Why act early in Stonebridge Park
Trapped water can harm decks, timbers and ceilings the longer it stays. Surveying sooner gives you more choice about what to do. London’s older roofs frequently have bitumen felt underlay or none at all, so a slipped slate can soon mean water inside. Left alone, that means wet timbers and plaster, which is a far bigger job than the roof fault itself.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the price for your survey before booking.

What a thermal roof survey doesn’t cover
It is a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
