Thermal roof survey in Blissford
What a thermal camera can show depends a lot on the weather. It helps to have a sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air. Rain, wind and cloud can all make the patterns weaker. We’ll discuss the weather with you when booking, and our report notes the conditions and how they affected what we saw. We survey commercial roofs, loft conversions and ceilings below the roof, and common reasons people get in touch are damp around chimneys and parapets and cold spots on ceilings under the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Blissford may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager doesn’t touch the roof, so it’s a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photographs show what each point refers to.

Prices for thermal roof surveys in Blissford
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The size of the roof
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to let us know:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- What made you get in touch
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
To get a price for thermal roof surveys in Blissford, ring 07833 053749 or email us. Some details about the property and the roof help us give you an accurate price.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses

If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the addresses.
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. Somewhere like Blissford needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- Areas that look unusual on the camera are checked with moisture readings where possible.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Note where any stains or damp appear
How to book

Advice
Drones, thermal imaging and Blissford roofs
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Historic houses such as Breamore House, about 3.8 miles north, show how far back building in the area around Blissford goes. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of the Holy Ascension, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. Take a building like Hyde Church of England Primary School: big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.

Checking the roof from the ground
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Roof by roof
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.
Loft insulation
From inside the loft, thermal imaging can show gaps in insulation and cold spots. We look where there is safe access.

Blissford questions
Is my home in Blissford listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Blissford in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Blissford is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are normally harder to read. 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.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
The results depend on the weather. Dry, calm weather after some sun gives the best chance of clear images. We record the conditions in the report, so you know how much weight to give the images.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We are roof surveyors, not structural engineers. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
How quickly is the report sent?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. All of them come by email.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Blissford?
Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Useful tips for Blissford property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
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.
Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof in suitable weather.
