Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Binley
How do I find out if my home in Binley is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will you come out to Binley?
Yes, Binley is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
What happens next?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Does thermal imaging detect leaks directly?
Thermal imaging shows temperature rather than water. Because wet insulation holds heat for longer, it can show as a different temperature, and moisture readings are used to check it.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Thermal roof survey in Binley
Thermal imaging is often most useful on flat roofs, from small extensions to large commercial roofs. Patterns can suggest where water is trapped under the covering. On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can hide what’s below, so we combine the camera with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access. We survey flat roofs, commercial roofs and loft conversions, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are wet areas near outlets and upstands and damp that repairs haven’t cured.
In a village or hamlet like Binley, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from the ground. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Do you need a thermal roof survey in Binley?
Buyers sometimes want more than a visual look at the roof. The Premium Survey brings thermal imaging and a drone inspection where it applies, with a report the same day, which helps when timescales are tight.
Common reasons to book include:
- Cold areas below the roof
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
For any home in Binley, it’s the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.
What to check before booking
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Surveys for landlords and agents in Binley
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.

What else we do in Binley
What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same pattern: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. For a village or hamlet like Binley, 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 is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You let us know about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Related advice
Checking the roof from the ground
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Before and after the survey
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- File the images with your roof records
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
Once we have been, the thermal images, photos and readings go into a single report. We explain what each image may mean, alongside what we recommend. With a Premium Survey, you get the report the same day.
Check that loft insulation is laid evenly and hasn’t been pushed aside. Insulation is often moved when people work in the loft space.
