Thermal Roof Survey in Tokyngton
Not sure what state the roof is in? You can book a thermal roof survey in Tokyngton and across Greater London.
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey typically takes an hour or two at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. From the street, a London terrace normally shows only its front slope or parapet, so in Tokyngton 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 start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can be seen safely.
- A thermal camera records how the surface temperature varies across the roof.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Thermal roof survey in Tokyngton
Your report sets out the thermal images alongside ordinary photos, making it clear where on the roof each pattern is. We explain what each pattern may mean, what the moisture readings found and what we recommend. With a Premium Survey, the report reaches you the same day. If you have questions, the in-person consultation gives you time to go through them. There is a 12-month follow-up as well. We’re often asked to look into damp patches with no obvious cause and patches of heat loss across the roof, on flat roofs, ceilings below the roof and loft conversions.
Many London roofs are hidden from the pavement: 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 Tokyngton as anywhere. Thermal images show surface temperature, not water itself, so findings are checked with moisture readings.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

What else we do in Tokyngton
Honest limits
We only report what can be seen safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
- A formal energy assessment
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will suggest the right survey. The full list of what we check.

What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
What happens if roof problems are left?
For buyers, a thermal survey adds detail that a visual inspection cannot give. Finding hidden moisture before exchange gives you facts to raise with the seller. Work on a London roof is rarely simple to arrange, with parking, neighbours and access all to think about. That’s a good reason to find problems early, while there’s time to plan.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £400, including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before booking.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs and what we found on two real jobs.
Tokyngton: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Tokyngton is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s 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 parking a problem for a survey in Tokyngton?
Parking in Tokyngton, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
What’s in the report?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. The most urgent items are made clear.
Do you cover Tokyngton for thermal roof surveys?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, Tokyngton included.
Can thermal imaging show missing insulation?
It can show temperature patterns that point to missing or thin insulation. It shows most clearly when it’s warm inside and cold outside. Where we can reach the loft safely, we check there too.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- Heat the home normally on the days before
You also get an in-person consultation with a Premium Survey, giving you the chance to talk through the images and findings. There’s a 12-month follow-up too.
Keep outlets and gutters clear so water drains off the roof quickly. Less standing water means less chance of it getting under the covering.
Roof by roof
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Damp at junctions can be hard to see by eye. A careful visual inspection goes alongside the images.
Loft insulation
From inside the loft, thermal imaging can show gaps in insulation and cold spots. We look where there’s safe access.
Flying and imaging in Tokyngton
There are several hotels within about a mile and a half of Tokyngton. If you look after one, a large roof can be surveyed without guests having anyone working above them. About 2.8 miles south-west lies Pitzhanger Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Tokyngton has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you look after a building like Elsley Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. For a London address like Tokyngton, it is useful to know about controlled parking before the day, along with any off-street space. For businesses in and around places such as London Designer Outlet, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it.
