Thermal roof survey in Bartley: what you get
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. It also includes a drone inspection where applicable, a structural analysis and a same-day report. There is an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. Typical surveys look at possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering and ceilings that feel colder in places, on pitched roof slopes, flat roofs and loft conversions.
Villages like Bartley frequently stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

FAQs for Bartley
Will you come out to Bartley?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Bartley is listed?
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.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Bartley?
Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access as you book.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it when booking and we will explain what’s needed.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can help, but the results are often less clear than on a flat roof. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we combine it with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access.
Thermal roof surveys around Bartley
Bartley is within about 5 miles of the coast, and wind off the sea can be strong. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Bartley Church of England Junior School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. For any home in Bartley, it’s the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.

Different roofs, different checks
Loft insulation
Loft insulation is easily disturbed when people store things or run cables. Thermal images can show where it has been pushed aside.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Parapet and valley gutters can overflow inside a building. Thermal images, checked with moisture readings, can help trace it.
The survey, step by step
Where it’s 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. The whole visit usually takes an hour or two for most houses, and more on a big or complicated roof. In a hamlet or village like Bartley, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- 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.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets in another room
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

What happens if roof problems are left?
Once insulation under a membrane is wet, it tends to stay wet. Over time, it insulates less well and can harm the deck. Finding them early can mean a smaller job. In a place like Bartley, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all inc. VAT. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What you get with us
- 20+ years’ experience
- Thermal imaging and drones used where they help
- Visits on any day of the week
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)

Honest limits
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- A formal energy assessment
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Commercial roofs
- Loft conversions
- Insulated roof spaces
- Pitched roof slopes
- Ceilings below the roof
- Flat roofs
Checking the roof from ground level
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in.
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
For landlords and managing agents
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Bartley. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed ahead of time. Surveys run seven days a week, which helps when tenants work during the week.
