Thermal Roof Survey in Boorley Green
A careful look at the roof at your property in Boorley Green, with photos and a written report.
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Water that travels before it shows
How the survey changes by roof type
Loft insulation
Loft insulation is easily disturbed when people store things or run cables. Thermal images can show where it has been pushed aside.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Even on pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp. We explain what can and can’t be read from them.
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Boorley Green
Thermal imaging can also show where a roof is losing heat. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated areas can stand out on the images. The difference shows most clearly when it’s warm inside and cold outside. The report shows the images and explains what they may mean. It is not an energy rating or a heat loss calculation. We are often asked to look into cold spots on ceilings under the roof and missing or slipped insulation, across flat roofs, loft conversions and commercial roofs.
Around Boorley Green, a good many roofs are low enough to see partly from the garden or the street. Chimney tops, valleys and rear slopes are where close-up or thermal images help most. The forecast decides the day, as calm, dry conditions suit both. Even so, a close-up image often shows wear on ridges and flashings that a view from the ground misses.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.

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 with less disruption.
What happens on the day
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. All in, the survey typically takes between one and two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Boorley Green, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we can’t get to. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Getting ready for the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Find any records of previous roof work

Boorley Green questions
Are there drone restrictions around Boorley Green?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. The flight restriction zone around Southampton Airport comes within about 1 mile of Boorley Green. The exact boundary is checked for each address before any flight, and a roof inside it needs permission before we fly. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Is Boorley Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found, so you can see each point for yourself.
How soon will I get the report?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Reports are sent by email.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
It’s a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. The results depend on conditions on the day. Where it cannot be pinned down, the report suggests a next step, such as electronic leak detection.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take between one and two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The written report follows by email.
What we cannot see
Before you book, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check

What a thermal roof survey looks like in Boorley Green
Boorley Green lies within about 5 miles of the sea, and coastal wind can be strong. Thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind, so the date is chosen with the forecast in mind. The flight restriction zone around Southampton Airport comes within about 1 mile of Boorley Green. If your survey includes the drone, the exact boundary is checked for the address first.
If you live in an older home near St Luke's Church, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. Take a building like Berrywood Primary School: big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once. Historic houses like South Stoneham House, about 4.3 miles west, show how far back building around Boorley Green goes. For older roofs nearby, a look from above or with a thermal imager is a hands-off way to check condition.
