Thermal roof survey in Bailey Green: what you get
Thermal imaging is a useful tool, but it has limits. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. That’s why we check findings with moisture readings and a close visual inspection. The report is clear about what the images show and what they don’t. If a finding can’t be confirmed, the report suggests a next step. Typical surveys look at damp around chimneys and parapets and stains that keep coming back, on insulated roof spaces, flat roofs and pitched roof slopes.
Somewhere as small as Bailey Green, 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. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Drones, thermal imaging and Bailey Green roofs
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. With Hinton Ampner House about 4.7 miles west, Bailey Green sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.

What happens if roof problems are left?
If a big flat roof may need replacing, knowing the wet areas first is useful. Images backed by moisture readings show where problems seem to be before you spend. Around Bailey Green, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs and two real surveys.
Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.

How it works
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey normally takes an hour or two at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Bailey Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Related advice
Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Bailey Green
Building owners and managing agents use thermal surveys to plan work on larger flat roofs. It can suggest which areas may be wet and which seem dry, so we know where to take moisture readings.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
The streets around a church such as Holy Trinity Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
What to check before booking
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Are they insured for the work?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
Prices for thermal roof surveys in Bailey Green
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:

Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Do not climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
- Don’t switch the heating off ahead of the visit
- Keep a record of when stains appear
If you are buying, the report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. What you do with it is up to you, whether you ask for work before completion or discuss the price.
Clear outlets and gutters regularly, so water doesn’t sit on the roof. Less standing water means less chance of it getting under the covering.
Bailey Green: your questions answered
Is Bailey Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Is my home in Bailey Green listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. 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.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
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 it applies, structural analysis and a same-day report.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
Thermal imaging can help, alongside other checks. What it shows depends on the weather and the roof. Where it can’t be pinned down, the report suggests a next step, such as electronic leak detection.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
