Airspace, weather and Batt's Corner roofs
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Steep or complicated roofs are frequently hard to see from ground level, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Historic houses such as Farnham Castle, about 4 miles north, show how far back building around Batt's Corner goes. Photos from the air and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it.

About our thermal roof survey in Batt's Corner
What a thermal camera can show depends a lot on the weather. A sunny day before the survey, a dry roof surface and little wind all help. Rain, a strong wind or heavy cloud can make the images less clear. We’ll discuss the weather with you when booking, and the report explains how the conditions on the day affected the results. Typical surveys look at damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys and stains that keep coming back, on insulated roof spaces, ceilings below the roof and pitched roof slopes.
In a small place like Batt's Corner, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Before and after the survey
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Do not climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
If the images suggest moisture that cannot be confirmed, we will say what would help next, for example electronic leak detection or a roofer opening up a small section.
Have small defects in the covering fixed early. Once water gets under a membrane, it can travel far before it appears inside.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
How the survey works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. In total, it takes an hour or two at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Batt's Corner can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand

Advice
Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Batt's Corner
Is Batt's Corner in the area you cover?

How does a thermal imaging roof survey work?
A thermal camera shows differences in surface temperature. Those patterns can point to trapped moisture, missing insulation or heat loss. We check what it shows with moisture readings.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Is thermal imaging included in your surveys?
It is part of the Premium Survey, from £400. You also get an in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up. For bigger commercial roofs, we quote on size.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
Thermal imaging can help, alongside other checks. The results depend on conditions on the day. If the source can’t be confirmed, we’ll say what could help next, such as electronic leak detection.
Do you need a thermal roof survey in Batt's Corner?
Cold rooms under a roof, or high heating bills, lead some people to ask about heat loss. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated roof areas can show up on the camera, particularly when there is a clear difference between inside and outside.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Leaks that are hard to trace
The streets around a church such as The Church Of The Good Shepherd are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Before booking any roof surveyor

Why it is worth a survey now in Batt's Corner
A damp patch that keeps coming back normally has a cause that hasn’t been found. Thermal imaging with moisture readings can help narrow it down, rather than more guesswork. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
