Thermal Roof Survey in Anglefield Corner
Not sure what state the roof is in? We carry out thermal roof surveys in Anglefield Corner and across Surrey, with plain-English findings.
- Cold areas below the roof
- Water that travels before it shows
- Stains that keep coming back
How a thermal roof survey works in Anglefield Corner
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, so it is easy to see which part of the roof each one shows. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. Premium reports are sent the same day. You can talk the findings through with us at the in-person consultation. There is a 12-month follow-up as well. We survey commercial roofs, flat roofs and pitched roof slopes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering and areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions.
Somewhere as small as Anglefield Corner, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Weather and airspace are checked ahead of the visit. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put by urgency where it matters.

What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere as small as Anglefield Corner, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Preparing for the visit
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Anglefield Corner: your questions answered
Is drone flying allowed in Anglefield Corner?
Normally it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. The flight restriction zone around Redhill Aerodrome comes within about 2 miles of Anglefield Corner. The exact boundary is checked for each address before any flight, and a roof inside it needs permission before we fly. High wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying.
Is Anglefield Corner within the area you cover?
Yes. Anglefield Corner is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I book a survey in Anglefield Corner?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Are you insured?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
What happens after the survey?
The report comes by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
What’s in the survey report?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. Points are put by urgency where it matters.
How the survey changes by roof type
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP surfaces can be shiny, which affects thermal readings. We take that into account and check findings with moisture readings.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
On felt and asphalt flat roofs, wet insulation can show as a temperature difference across the surface. Moisture readings are used to check them.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A damp patch that keeps coming back normally has a cause that hasn’t been found. Combining the camera with moisture readings can help find it, instead of trying repair after repair. For an older or listed building in a place like Anglefield Corner, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- Make sure the loft can be reached safely
- File the images with your roof records
You also get an in-person consultation with a Premium Survey, giving you the chance to talk through the images and findings. A follow-up 12 months later is included as well.
Keep outlets and gutters clear so water drains off the roof quickly. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.
Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Anglefield Corner
Building owners and managing agents use thermal surveys to plan work on larger flat roofs. Patterns can point to wet areas and show which parts look sound, so we know where to take moisture readings.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Evanglist, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How long the report takes to arrive
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Flying and imaging in Anglefield Corner
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from ground level, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help. Anglefield Corner is about 2 miles from the edge of the flight restriction zone around Redhill Aerodrome. Where the drone is part of the survey, the exact boundary is checked for the address first.
In and around Anglefield Corner, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early.

What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
