How a thermal roof survey works in Milton Keynes

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. A follow-up 12 months later is included too. Typical surveys look at areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions and missing or slipped insulation, on loft conversions, flat roofs and ceilings below the roof.

Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes between one and two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof.

You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.

What you’ll pay

There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Airspace, weather and roofs across Milton Keynes

Across Milton Keynes, the weather decides the day: a small drone cannot fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best after a sunny day with little wind.

Across London and South East England, older homes frequently have slate or clay tiles, while many later ones have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed extensions and dormers are common everywhere. Each roof in Milton Keynes is checked with its age and materials in mind.

Milton Keynes: Take a building like Summerfield School: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of Christ the Cornerstone, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.

DIY checks: what’s safe

After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.

Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

Tips that help

Getting the most from a thermal roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:

Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
Note where damp appears and after what weather
Don’t switch the heating off before the visit

The report explains the conditions on the day and how they affected the images. It helps you judge how firm each finding is.

Keep outlets and gutters clear so water drains off the roof quickly. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses

A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.

Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters.

When you need someone else

Some things can’t be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:

Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check
Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
Proving moisture from the images alone

How the survey changes by roof type

Single-ply and EPDM roofs

Thin membranes can show patterns from the layers beneath. Reflections from shiny surfaces can affect readings, which we allow for.

Felt and asphalt flat roofs

Felt and asphalt sit tight to the layers below, which frequently helps the camera pick up differences. We confirm any patterns with moisture readings.

FAQs for Milton Keynes

What happens next?

The report comes by email, and what you do next is up to you: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.

Is this a RICS survey?

No. This is a survey of the roof only, so it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.

Is thermal imaging included in your surveys?

Our Premium Survey, from £400, includes thermal imaging. An in-person consultation and a follow-up 12 months later are included too. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size.

Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?

The camera can point to heat loss and gaps in insulation. The survey is not an energy rating or a heat loss calculation, but the images show where improvements may help.

Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?

On pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp patterns. Our report is clear about what can be read from them, and back them up with a visual inspection and moisture readings.

When does the report arrive?

Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. Each one is emailed, ready to forward.

What’s in the report?

Written findings with photos, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
