Bodle Street Green Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof in Bodle Street Green, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
How a thermal roof survey works in Bodle Street Green
Your report sets out the thermal images alongside ordinary photographs, so it is easy to see which part of the roof each one shows. We explain what each pattern may mean, what the moisture readings found and what we recommend. Premium reports are sent the same day. You can talk the findings through with us at the in-person consultation. There is a 12-month follow-up as well. We are often asked to look into damp around roof outlets and upstands and damp that repairs haven’t cured, on insulated roof spaces, loft conversions and commercial roofs.
In a small place like Bodle Street Green, 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.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Flying and imaging in Bodle Street Green
About 4.6 miles west lies Horselunges Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Bodle Street Green has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
The streets around a church like St John the Evangelist are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.

Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Check the loft can be reached safely
- Tell us where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
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 is easy to find each area on the roof.
Watch for new damp patches on ceilings beneath the roof. Early action keeps insulation from staying wet.
What happens on the day
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It usually takes an hour or two for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Around Bodle Street Green, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We talk through the roof, any damp or leaks, and the weather expected on the day.
- We look at the roof from the ground, from windows and from the roof itself where it is safe.
- A thermal camera records how the surface temperature varies across the roof.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Tell us about parking before the day

Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Bodle Street Green
Do you cover smaller places like Bodle Street Green?

How soon will I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email.
Can a thermal camera see water?
Not directly. It shows temperature, and wet materials often behave differently from dry ones. We confirm what it suggests with moisture readings.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
It can help narrow down where water may be getting in. Water can travel under a covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help follow it. We combine it with a visual inspection and moisture readings because the camera cannot confirm water on its own.
What we look for on each type of roof
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Thin membranes can show patterns from the layers beneath. Shiny surfaces can reflect heat, so we take care reading the images.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Thermal images of a pitched roof can still show heat loss patterns and some damp areas. We explain what can and cannot be read from them.
