Thermal Roof Survey in Boveney
We carry out thermal roof surveys in Boveney and the rest of Windsor and Maidenhead. We survey on any day of the week.
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Missing or slipped insulation
Thermal roof survey in Boveney
Flat roofs over extensions, garages, flats and commercial buildings are where thermal imaging often helps most. It can show patterns that point to trapped moisture under the membrane. Pitched roofs with slates or tiles are often harder to read, because of the air space beneath, so we combine the camera with an inspection from the loft where there is safe access. We are often asked to look into damp around roof outlets and upstands and missing or slipped insulation, across flat roofs, commercial roofs and ceilings below the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Boveney are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
You receive the findings 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 affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
To price your survey, we look at:
- How big the roof is
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How many separate roofs there are, like extensions, dormers and garages
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Prices start from £400, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
What we need to know
These details help when you contact us:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- When you need the report by
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us some details about the property and we will suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Flying and imaging in Boveney
Dorney Court, about 1.2 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Boveney. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
The streets around a church such as St Mary Magdalene's Church 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 the ground, and that is where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps.
Boveney is about 1 mile north-west of Windsor, in Windsor and Maidenhead. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Boveney can all book thermal roof surveys. We cover towns and villages across Windsor and Maidenhead. Our Reading page covers surveys nearby.

Why get it checked now?
Wet insulation under a flat roof doesn’t dry out on its own while the covering stays on. In time, it stops insulating properly and can damage the deck. Finding the wet areas sooner keeps the work smaller. Outbuildings and barns around Boveney are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.
What you get with us

Boveney questions
Do you cover Boveney?
Yes, Boveney is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Do you cover smaller places like Boveney?
Yes, Boveney is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
What happens next?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Will the camera show exactly where the water is?
The camera does not see water itself. Because wet insulation holds heat for longer, it can show as a different temperature, and moisture readings are used to check it.
Can thermal imaging show missing insulation?
The camera can point to heat loss and gaps in insulation. The survey is not an energy rating or a heat loss calculation, but the report shows where to look more closely.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning. Tell us about it as you book and we’ll explain what’s needed.
What’s in the survey report?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photos. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.

What a thermal roof survey does not cover
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
- Proving moisture from the images alone
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Flat roofs
- Insulated roof spaces
- Loft conversions
- Pitched roof slopes
- Ceilings below the roof
- Commercial roofs
Surveys for landlords and agents in Boveney
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, putting the urgent items at the top.
What we are asked to look at in Boveney
Buyers sometimes want more than a visual look at the roof. The Premium Survey brings thermal imaging and a drone inspection where applicable, with a report the same day, which suits a purchase that’s moving quickly.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Heat escaping through the roof
Take a building like Homer First School and Nursery: a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Their insurance cover
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- What experience they bring
How it works
We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Around Boveney, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there is safe access.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
How to prepare
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Tell us where we can park nearby
