Thermal Roof Survey in Tottenham Green
Find out what’s going on with the roof before you spend money on it. We carry out thermal roof surveys in Tottenham Green, with photos and a clear written report.
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Cold areas below the roof
Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Do not climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
After the visit, we put the thermal images, photos and moisture readings into one report. We explain what each image may mean, alongside what we recommend. Premium reports are sent the same day.
Make sure loft insulation covers the whole area and hasn’t been disturbed. Gaps frequently appear after work in the loft.
Thermal roof survey in Tottenham Green
Your report sets out the thermal images alongside ordinary photographs, so it’s easy to see which part of the roof each one shows. 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. You can talk the findings through with us at the in-person consultation. A follow-up 12 months later is included too. If you’ve noticed damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys and cold areas below the roof, 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. Images are taken to show the roof we are surveying, with care for neighbours’ privacy. Mention access, height and anything unusual about the building as you book. The extra view helps most on steep slopes, tall stacks and rear additions.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Why it is worth a survey now in Tottenham Green
Before replacing a large flat roof, it helps to know how much of it is actually wet. Thermal imaging, checked with moisture readings, gives a clearer picture before you commit. Blocked gutters and hoppers on London houses overflow and soak brickwork. A small blockage left for a few winters becomes a damp problem.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Why us?
- An independent look at the roof
- Visits on any day of the week
- Customer satisfaction of 98%

Questions from Tottenham Green
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Tottenham Green?
Normally it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. 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. Every London address is checked against them before a flight. Before any flight, we check the Drone Safety Map for airspace restrictions, including zones around airports and prisons. Strong wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Tottenham Green?
Sometimes, yes. If Tottenham Green has controlled parking where you are, a visitor permit is the easiest answer, and a driveway is even better.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
Thermal images can suggest where heat is escaping and where insulation may be missing. We don’t give energy ratings or heat loss calculations, but the images show where improvements may help.
Do you work in Tottenham Green?
Yes. We survey roofs in Tottenham Green and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across London and South East England. For a price, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. Most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. In converted houses and mansion blocks, the loft hatch is frequently on a shared landing. If that applies to your building, it is useful to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Otherwise, the visit in Tottenham Green runs like any other.
- 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.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Arrange a survey
We confirm the price for your survey before you book, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £400, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or email us.

Prices for thermal roof surveys in Tottenham Green
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The size of the roof
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Tottenham Green
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Inner London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces often have Welsh slate roofs. Behind many of their parapets sit butterfly roofs and valley gutters that can’t be seen from the pavement. Lead flashings, party-wall upstands and shared chimney stacks are typical of these houses, if yours is one of them. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up aerial photos and thermal images help.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of Holy Trinity, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help. Bruce Castle lies about 0.9 miles north, so building around Tottenham Green goes back a long way. A drone or thermal survey does not involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings. Shop and office owners around The Mall Wood Green may find that thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof.
