Thermal roof survey in Bowlhead Green: what you get
Your report sets out the thermal images alongside ordinary photographs, so it is easy to see which part of the roof each one shows. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. Premium reports are sent the same day. You can talk the findings through with us at the in-person consultation. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. Typical surveys look at water getting in at parapets and stacks and damp that repairs haven’t cured, across commercial roofs, ceilings below the roof and insulated roof spaces.
Older buildings in small places like Bowlhead Green may be listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on 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.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

How we price thermal roof surveys
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The size of the roof
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
Helping us price your survey
The more you tell us, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it is useful to mention:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The property’s address and postcode
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Useful tips for Bowlhead Green property owners
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Photograph damp patches with the date
If you are buying, the report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. It’s your decision how to use it, whether you ask for work before completion or discuss the price.
Deal with small splits and lifted seams promptly. Once water gets under a membrane, it can travel far before it appears inside.
Roof by roof
Loft insulation
The difference is clearest when the home is heated and it is cold out. We explain in the report how the conditions on the day affected what we saw.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Water frequently gets in where roofs meet walls, parapets or valley gutters. Thermal imaging can help show damp patterns around them.
Why get it checked now?
If a big flat roof may need replacing, knowing the wet areas first is useful. Images backed by moisture readings show where problems seem to be before you commit. Around Bowlhead Green, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £400, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

Thermal roof surveys in Bowlhead Green: local notes
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help. For any home in Bowlhead Green, it is the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.

The survey, step by step
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement, as far as the space allows. The whole visit normally takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere like Bowlhead Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Advice
Questions from Bowlhead Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bowlhead Green?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover smaller places like Bowlhead Green?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
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, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
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.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
The weather makes a real difference. A sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air all help. Rain and strong wind can make the images less clear, so we discuss the forecast when booking.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
Gaps and thin areas of insulation can show up on the camera. The difference is clearest when the building is heated and it is colder outside. We look from the loft as well, where there is safe access.
