About our thermal roof survey in Blendworth
Thermal imaging works best in the right conditions. 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 talk through the forecast when you book, and our report notes the conditions and how they affected what we saw. Typical surveys look at possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering and damp that repairs haven’t cured, on insulated roof spaces, commercial roofs and flat roofs.
In a small place like Blendworth, open ground can mean strong wind. High wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
With the Standard Survey, you also get 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.

Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Blendworth
People often book a thermal survey when a damp patch has no obvious cause. A leak may start well away from where the stain appears. The camera helps narrow the search.
People typically book a survey when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Water that travels before it shows
For an older house near a landmark like Church of the Holy Trinity, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What exactly goes into their report
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- What happens after the report arrives
Flying and imaging in Blendworth
Blendworth 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. With Uppark about 4.8 miles north-east, Blendworth sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Horndean Church of England Junior School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

Practical tips
Getting the most from a thermal roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Make sure the loft can be reached safely
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
You can pass the report to a roofer so they can see where the problem areas seem to be. Because the images are paired with photos, it’s easy to find each area on the roof.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
What a thermal roof survey does not cover
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will suggest the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.

Common questions in Blendworth
Is Blendworth in the area you cover?
Yes, Blendworth is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Blendworth?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. 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.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report, and it doesn’t include calculations. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
What happens next?
The report comes by email, and you decide the next step: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We’ll talk about access as you book.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when booking.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Cottages and farmhouses around Blendworth frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
