Thermal roof survey in Bray Wick: what you get
A thermal survey is not a quick fix for every roof problem. Sun, shade, reflective surfaces and wind can all change what the camera shows. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. Our report says plainly what the camera picked up and how sure we can be. If a finding can’t be confirmed, the report suggests a next step. Typical surveys look at missing or slipped insulation and damp that repairs haven’t cured, on insulated roof spaces, pitched roof slopes and loft conversions.
Older buildings in small places like Bray Wick may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, so it’s a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What we’re asked to look at in Bray Wick
People often book a thermal survey when a damp patch has no obvious cause. A leak may start well away from where the stain appears. Temperature patterns can help narrow down where to look.
Common reasons to book include:
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Cold areas below the roof
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
Anyone responsible for a site like Holyport CofE Primary School will know that big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.
Questions to ask before you book
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Is VAT included in the price?
- How long the report takes to arrive
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes between one and two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Older roofs in small places like Bray Wick can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there is safe access, in the loft.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Getting ready for the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Arrange a survey
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £400, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Related advice
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
What affects the price in Bray Wick
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The size of the roof
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Getting in touch
A little information up front helps. It is useful to include:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- What made you get in touch
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
To get a price for thermal roof surveys in Bray Wick, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email. The address, the type of property and what you need to know help us give you an accurate price.
Honest limits
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- A formal energy assessment
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we will point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

FAQs for Bray Wick
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bray Wick?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Bray Wick?
Normally it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Bray Wick is about 3 miles from White Waltham Airfield, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
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 images show where improvements may help.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
What does a thermal roof survey show?
A thermal camera shows differences in surface temperature. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or heat escaping. We check what it shows with moisture readings.
How do I book a survey in Bray Wick?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. Surveys run on any day of the week.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Without thermal imaging, the only way to see how far water has spread is often to open up the roof. That helps you and your roofer decide what really needs replacing. Older and listed buildings around Bray Wick may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
