Thermal imaging roof survey in Aston, Oxfordshire
Thermal roof surveys around Aston, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Water that travels before it shows
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
Can I check my roof myself?
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Thermal roof survey in Aston
Your report sets out the thermal images alongside ordinary photos, so it is easy to see which part of the roof each one shows. We explain what each pattern may mean, what the moisture readings found and what we recommend. Premium reports are sent 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. If you’re worried about damp that repairs haven’t cured and cold areas below the roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on commercial roofs, ceilings below the roof and pitched roof slopes alike.
Villages like Aston often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. High wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Why act early in Aston
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. In a place like Aston, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.

How it works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. You are welcome to ask questions while we’re there. For a village or hamlet like Aston, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Advice
FAQs for Aston
Do you cover smaller places like Aston?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Aston listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
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 we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
How much does a thermal roof survey cost?
Thermal imaging is included in our Premium Survey, from £400. That also includes a full inspection, a drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a same-day report.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
How quickly is the report sent?
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.
Prices for thermal roof surveys in Aston
To price your survey, we look at:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
What to let us know when you get in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you contact us:
- The address and postcode of the property
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price before booking.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Landlords, agents and building managers in Aston and across Oxfordshire can book any of our surveys. To discuss a property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Aston
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 moisture readings can be targeted.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Nicholas, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- How soon the report will arrive
