Thermal roof survey in Brighthampton: what you get
Your report sets out the thermal images alongside ordinary photos, 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. With a Premium Survey, the report reaches you the same day. You can talk the findings through with us at the in-person consultation. A follow-up 12 months later is included too. Common reasons to book are damp patches with no obvious cause and cold spots on ceilings under the roof, across flat roofs, insulated roof spaces and ceilings below the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Brighthampton are listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera doesn’t touch 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.
After the visit, you get a written report with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Brighthampton
Do you cover smaller places like Brighthampton?
Yes, Brighthampton is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Is my home in Brighthampton listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
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 can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
What do I do with the report?
The report arrives by email, with photographs and clear recommendations. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
How soon will I get the report?
That depends on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
What affects the price in Brighthampton
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- The shape of the roof and its details
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Not sure which survey you need? It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
Leave it or get it looked at?
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 spend. For older village homes like those around Brighthampton, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.

How the survey works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like Brighthampton 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 go over the roof, the problem you’ve noticed and the conditions forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Book a survey
We survey roofs seven days a week. To arrange a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Flying and imaging in Brighthampton
About 2.5 miles south lies Longworth House, a reminder of how long the area around Brighthampton has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from ground level, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Giles' Church, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mulberry Bush School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Even on pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp. The report explains what the images can tell you and what they can’t.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
These coverings sit directly on the layers beneath, so temperature differences often show through. We confirm any patterns with moisture readings.
