How a thermal roof survey works in Battramsley
Your report sets out the thermal images alongside ordinary photographs, so it is easy to see which part of the roof each one shows. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. Premium reports are sent the same day. If you have questions, the in-person consultation gives you time to go through them. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. If you’ve noticed gaps in loft insulation and moisture around outlets and upstands, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on ceilings below the roof, flat roofs and insulated roof spaces alike.
In a village or hamlet like Battramsley, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Weather and airspace are checked ahead of the visit. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What we look for on each type of roof
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
These coverings sit directly on the layers beneath, so temperature differences frequently show through. We confirm any patterns with moisture readings.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
From inside the loft, the camera can help with damp around chimneys, valleys and roof windows. We check any patterns with moisture readings.
How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take an hour or two at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. In a hamlet or village like Battramsley, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
How to prepare
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in.
FAQs for Battramsley
Do you cover smaller places like Battramsley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Battramsley?
Yes, Battramsley is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are usually harder to read. The air space under slates and tiles can hide patterns, so we also look from the loft where it’s safe.
Which survey includes thermal imaging?
It is part of the Premium Survey, from £400. An in-person consultation and a follow-up 12 months later are included too. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, like old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take about 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. The written report follows by email.
Why get it checked now?
For buyers, a thermal survey adds detail that a visual inspection can’t give. Finding hidden moisture before exchange gives you facts to raise with the seller. Older and listed buildings around Battramsley may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we can help you choose.

Useful tips for Battramsley property owners
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Do not switch the heating off ahead of the visit
- Do not climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
Where a pattern can’t be confirmed, the report says what could help, such as electronic leak detection or opening up a small area.
Keep outlets and gutters clear so water drains off the roof quickly. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Battramsley
Battramsley is within about 3 miles of the coast. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you live in an older home near Church of St John, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as William Gilpin Church of England Primary School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
