Thermal imaging roof survey in Wimbledon Chase, Greater London
Thermal roof surveys around Wimbledon Chase, with a written report you can act on. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Missing or slipped insulation
Before and after the survey
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Don’t climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
Buyers can use the findings when talking to the seller or agent. It’s your decision how to use it, whether that’s asking for work or discussing the price.
Check that loft insulation is laid evenly and hasn’t been pushed aside. Insulation is often moved when people work in the roof space.
Thermal roof survey in Wimbledon Chase
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. You also get a drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a report on the same day. There is an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We survey loft conversions, flat roofs and ceilings below the roof, and common reasons people get in touch are patches of heat loss across the roof and water that travels before it shows.
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’re surveying, with care for neighbours’ privacy, in Wimbledon Chase as anywhere. Tell us about the building and access when you book. The extra view helps most on steep slopes, tall stacks and rear additions.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Wimbledon Chase questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wimbledon Chase?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Wimbledon Chase?
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 you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What will the report tell me?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, and ends with what we recommend. The most urgent items are made clear.
Will I get photos?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
When to book a survey in Wimbledon Chase
Some owners book because the rooms under the roof feel cold. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated roof areas can show up on the camera, especially when it’s warm inside and cold outside.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
Anyone responsible for a site like Wimbledon Chase Primary School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

What else we do in Wimbledon Chase
How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. In a London area like Wimbledon Chase, the main things to sort out are parking and access: let us know about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor the property is on and how to get into the loft. On the day, the roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space and from the roof where it is safe.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Getting a price

What we look for on each type of roof
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP surfaces can be shiny, which affects thermal readings. We take that into account and check findings with moisture readings.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Water often gets in where roofs meet walls, parapets or valley gutters. Thermal imaging can help show damp patterns around them.
