Thermal roof survey in Ashmore Green
Thermal imaging can also show where a roof is losing heat. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves often show up as temperature differences. The difference shows most clearly when it is warm inside and cold outside. Our report points out what the images suggest and where to look more closely. It is not an energy rating or a heat loss calculation. We survey pitched roof slopes, insulated roof spaces and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are ceilings that feel colder in places and water that travels before it shows.
In a small place like Ashmore Green, open ground can mean strong wind. High wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

What we’re asked to look at in Ashmore Green
Some owners book because the rooms under the roof feel cold. Missing or slipped insulation can stand out as temperature differences, particularly when there’s a clear difference between inside and outside.
We are often asked to look at:
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
Take an older house close to St. Mark's Church: older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.
What to check before booking

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Ashmore Green
Is my home in Ashmore Green listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Is Ashmore Green in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Ashmore Green is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
How soon will I get the report?
Each package has its own report time. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. If you have a deadline, like an exchange date, let us know when you book.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we’re not structural engineers and don’t carry out calculations. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
Conditions on the day affect the results. A sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air all help. Rain and strong wind can make the images less clear, so we talk through the forecast when booking.
What happens next?
You will get the report by email, with photos and clear recommendations. With Standard there’s a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
What does the report include?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos. Points are put by urgency where it matters.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. About 2 miles west lies Shaw House, a reminder of how long the area around Ashmore Green has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cold Ash St Mark's C.E. School, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.

How the survey works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take an hour or two at most homes, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Ashmore Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there’s safe access, in the loft.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
How to prepare
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Leave it or get it looked at?
Once insulation under a membrane is wet, it tends to stay wet. In time, it stops insulating properly and can damage the deck. Finding them early can mean a smaller job. For an older or listed building in a place like Ashmore Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
