Thermal imaging roof survey in Streatham Park, Greater London
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof in Streatham Park, using drones and thermal imaging where it applies. Call or email for a price.
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
The survey, step by step
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. London terraces rarely offer a view of the whole roof from one spot, so in Streatham Park we work round the house, using the street, the windows, the loft and any safe vantage point behind it. Shared stairs or a basement flat? Tell us who holds the keys.
- We talk through the roof, any damp or leaks, and the weather expected on the day.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there’s safe access.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

Thermal roof survey in Streatham Park
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. It also includes a drone inspection where applicable, a structural analysis and a same-day report. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. If you’ve noticed thin or uneven insulation in the roof and moisture around outlets and upstands, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
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 Streatham Park as anywhere. Tell us about the building and access as you book. The extra view helps most on steep slopes, tall stacks and rear additions.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Streatham Park
Not every roof problem shows on the surface. Trapped moisture, missing insulation and hidden heat loss are three examples. Thermal imaging gives us another way to look for them.
Look out for signs like these:
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
As a London address, Streatham Park can be tricky for parking: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book, as a space near the door can’t be promised.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What follow-up you get after the report
- What experience they bring
- What they won’t be able to tell you
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey seven days a week, which can make access easier.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Streatham Park
Close to the centre of London, a great many houses are Victorian or Edwardian terraces, many of them roofed in Welsh slate. Many have butterfly roofs draining to a central valley gutter, with parapet walls and gutters hidden behind them. If your home in Streatham Park is one of them, lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are part of the picture too. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. Kingswood House, about 2.6 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Streatham Park. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Alban, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Leonard's Church of England Primary School, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Streatham Park
Is my home in Streatham Park listed or in a conservation area?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Are there drone restrictions around Streatham Park?
Usually it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Streatham Park is about 2 miles from the edge of the flight restriction zone around London Heliport in Battersea. The exact boundary is checked for each address before any flight, and a roof inside it needs permission before we fly. 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.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and the report uses them to show each finding alongside our recommendations.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
The camera can point to heat loss and gaps in insulation. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations, but the report shows where to look more closely.
Does thermal imaging detect leaks directly?
Thermal imaging shows temperature rather than water. Because wet insulation holds heat for longer, it can show as a different temperature, but we check each finding with moisture readings.
What’s in the report?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photographs. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we’re not structural engineers and don’t carry out calculations. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
Useful tips for Streatham Park property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
Once we’ve been, the thermal images, photos and readings go into a single report. We explain what each image may mean, alongside what we recommend. Premium reports are sent the same day.
Check loft insulation covers the whole area and hasn’t been disturbed. Gaps often appear after work in the loft.
