Thermal roof surveys across Oxfordshire: what to expect

Flat roofs over extensions, garages, flats and commercial buildings are where thermal imaging often helps most. It can show patterns that point to trapped moisture under the membrane. On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can hide what’s below, so we also look from the loft where we can reach it safely. We survey ceilings below the roof, flat roofs and commercial roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are heat escaping through the roof and possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering.

Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time.

First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
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.

Other local landmarks include East Oxford Primary School (less than half a mile south-west), Cheney School (under half a mile east), The Star pub (less than half a mile west) and St Clement's Church (under half a mile north-west). For rail, the closest station is Oxford station, roughly 1.6 miles west of the centre.

The countryside around Oxford includes CS Lewis Nature Reserve and Headington Hill.

Drones, thermal imaging and roofs across Oxfordshire

From Oxford, Banbury and Didcot to its smaller places, Oxfordshire has roofs that are tall, steep or hard to see from ground level. A drone or thermal camera adds a view you can’t get from the ground.

Our area takes in slate-roofed London terraces, clay-tiled Weald houses, Essex weatherboarding and post-war new towns. Oxfordshire is part of that mix.

Oxford: With Holywell Manor about 0.8 miles north-west, the area around Oxford has a long history. Aerial photos and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it. A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Oxford means lost rooms as well as repairs, so it is worth knowing the roof’s condition.

What a survey costs

Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:

Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
Roof area
Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey

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

Helping us price your survey

You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:

When you need the report by
Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
The property’s address and postcode
The style of property, from a terrace to a block

Our price is from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.

Before and after the survey

A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:

Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
Heat the home normally on the days before
File the images with your roof records
Photograph damp patches with the date

We note the weather and surface conditions, and how they may have affected the results. That way you know how much weight to give each finding.

Have small defects in the covering fixed early. Once water gets under a membrane, it can travel far before it appears inside.

Checking the roof from ground level

Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.

Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Oxfordshire

For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.

Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.

How the survey changes by roof type

Pitched slate and tile roofs

Thermal images of a pitched roof can still show heat loss patterns and some damp areas. The report explains what the images can tell you and what they can’t.

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.

FAQs for Oxfordshire

Will the camera show exactly where the water is?

Thermal imaging shows temperature rather than water. Because wet insulation holds heat for longer, it can show as a different temperature, and moisture readings are used to check it.

Can you inspect my roof with a drone?

Yes, where it is applicable. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.

How soon will I get the report?

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

What does a thermal roof survey show?

It records surface temperature across the roof. Unusual patterns can point to trapped water, gaps in insulation or heat escaping, and we check them with moisture readings.

Which days do you carry out surveys?

Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.

Does the report include photos?

Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.

Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?

No. We do not carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
