Thermal imaging roof survey in Stratford, Greater London
Thermal roof surveys across Stratford, with over 20 years’ experience behind it. You get a clear report with photos.
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
Roof by roof
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Because these membranes are thin, patterns from below often show. Reflections from shiny surfaces can affect readings, which we allow for.
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP surfaces can be shiny, which affects thermal readings. We allow for reflections and confirm findings with moisture readings.
How a thermal roof survey works in Stratford
Our thermal survey records how the surface temperature varies across your roof. Those patterns can point to trapped moisture, missing insulation or heat escaping. The camera does not see water itself, so we check what it shows with moisture readings. It comes as part of our Premium Survey, from £400. The report also notes the conditions on the day, since they affect what the camera can show. If you’ve noticed heat escaping through the roof and wet insulation beneath the membrane, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
London roofs sit shoulder to shoulder in terraces and blocks, which makes care around neighbours part of the job. Images are taken to show the roof we are surveying, with care for neighbours’ privacy. Tell us about the building and access as you book. The extra view helps most on steep slopes, tall stacks and rear additions.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Stratford: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Stratford is listed?
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.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Stratford?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when booking. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
It can help narrow down where water may be getting in. Patterns can suggest where trapped water has spread. It’s used alongside a close inspection and moisture readings, as the camera alone cannot prove a leak.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Will I get photos?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, which makes the report easy to follow.
What conditions are best for thermal imaging?
The weather makes a real difference. It works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind. Rain, wind and heavy cloud can weaken the patterns, so we talk through the forecast as you book.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Stratford
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
How the survey works
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it usually takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In Stratford, as in much of London, a good many 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. If the building has a managing agent or access rules, tell us 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.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Honest limits
It is useful to know what a survey will not do before booking:
- A formal energy assessment
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll tell you before you book. The full list of what we check.
Roofs we survey in Stratford
- Commercial roofs
- Insulated roof spaces
- Ceilings below the roof
- Loft conversions
- Pitched roof slopes
- Flat roofs
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.

Flying and imaging in Stratford
Stratford 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 aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once. Inner London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces frequently have 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 Stratford 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 aerial photos and thermal images help.
If you run a hotel or guest house in or near Stratford, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use, so it pays to find faults before guests do. Parking in Stratford, as in most of London, takes a little planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway as you book. Take an older house close to Church of St John the Evangelist: 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.
