About our thermal roof survey in Adstock
Your report sets out the thermal images alongside ordinary photographs, making it clear where on the roof each pattern is. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. 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. A follow-up 12 months later is included too. We survey loft conversions, ceilings below the roof and pitched roof slopes, and people most often book us about stains that keep coming back and patches of heat loss across the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Adstock, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Weather and airspace are looked at before the visit, and the journey is planned beforehand. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Adstock
Thermal images can suggest the extent of wet areas without cutting into the roof. It helps when deciding whether to patch an area or replace the roof. Older and listed buildings around Adstock may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Prices start from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and the package you choose.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Adstock
Is Adstock in the area you cover?
Yes, Adstock is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the property.
Is my home in Adstock 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.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. Photographs are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
Thermal images can suggest where heat is escaping and where insulation may be missing. The survey isn’t an energy rating or a heat loss calculation, but the images show where improvements may help.
Will the camera show exactly where the water is?
Not directly. It shows surface temperature, and wet areas can show up because they hold heat differently. That is why we check any patterns with moisture readings.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
Thermal imaging can help, alongside other checks. What it shows depends on the weather and the roof. Where it cannot be pinned down, the report suggests a next step, such as electronic leak detection.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
How the survey changes by roof type
Parapets, valleys and junctions
When valley or parapet gutters overflow, water can get into walls and ceilings. We use the camera and moisture readings to help follow it.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Water under felt or asphalt can stay hidden for years. The camera can give clues to where it is sitting, given suitable conditions on the day.
Drones, thermal imaging and Adstock roofs
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. The wider area around Adstock has a long history of building, with Claydon House about 3.2 miles south. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Cecilia, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image. Anyone responsible for a site like Padbury Church of England School will know that big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.
Adstock is about 3 miles south-east of Buckingham, in Buckinghamshire. We carry out thermal roof surveys in Adstock for houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings. We cover towns and villages across Buckinghamshire. Milton Keynes is in our area too.

Around Adstock
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Sir Thomas Fremantle School and The Folly Inn and the streets around them. A little further out are Buckingham Community Hospital (3.5 miles north-west) and Buckingham Castle (3.5 miles north-west). Not far away are Buckingham Sand Pit.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.

The survey, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photographs, sent to you by email. On timing, it typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere like Adstock needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First we go over the roof, the problem you’ve noticed and the conditions forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- You get a report with thermal images, photographs and our recommendations.
Before the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
How to book
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To get started, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Useful tips for Adstock property owners
Getting the most from a thermal roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
- Photograph damp patches with the date
If the images suggest moisture that cannot be confirmed, we will say what would help next, such as electronic leak detection or opening up a small area.
Keep outlets and gutters clear so water drains off the roof quickly. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.
