Thermal imaging roof survey in Banstead, Surrey
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof in Banstead, using drones and thermal imaging where it applies. Get in touch for a price.
- Stains that keep coming back
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
For landlords and managing agents
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
Thermal roof survey in Banstead
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. 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. We’re often asked to look into ceilings that feel colder in places and thin or uneven insulation in the roof, across commercial roofs, loft conversions and pitched roof slopes.
Places like Banstead can be near small airfields or other airspace restrictions, so the Drone Safety Map is checked before any flight. Exposed sites can be windy, and a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind. Each flight is planned with neighbours’ privacy in mind, as well as the airspace and the wind.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Banstead
Not every roof problem shows on the surface. Trapped moisture, missing insulation and hidden heat loss are three examples. A thermal camera adds another way of finding them.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Stains that keep coming back
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
Take a building like St Anne's Catholic Primary School: a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
What to check before booking
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
How we price thermal roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- House, block, shop or office

- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.

Common questions in Banstead
Is Banstead within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Banstead in the area you cover?
Yes, Banstead is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We check everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What do I do with the report?
You will receive the report by email, and you decide the next step: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
Does the report include photos?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, which makes the report easy to follow.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Trapped water can harm decks, timbers and ceilings the longer it stays. Surveying sooner gives you more choice about what to do. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Banstead, so it’s useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

DIY checks: what’s safe
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking.
Drones, thermal imaging and Banstead roofs
About 2.7 miles north-west lies Nonsuch Mansion, a reminder of how long the area around Banstead 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. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from the ground, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of All Saints, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps. Shop and office owners around The Ashley Centre may find that thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof.

What happens on the day
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. The whole visit typically takes an hour or two for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. Homes around Banstead often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there is 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.
Before the survey
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
