Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Brookgreen
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. You also get a drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a report on the same day. There is an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. To book, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We survey flat roofs, ceilings below the roof and loft conversions, and common reasons people get in touch are cold spots on ceilings under the roof and patches of heat loss across the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Brookgreen, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned beforehand. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later.

Useful tips for Brookgreen property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Let us know where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
Once we have been, the thermal images, photos and readings go into a single report. We explain what each image may mean, alongside what we recommend. With a Premium Survey, you get the report the same day.
Keep outlets and gutters clear so water drains off the roof quickly. Less standing water means less chance of it getting under the covering.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take about one to two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Around Brookgreen, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know 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.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
How to prepare
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Common questions in Brookgreen
Is Brookgreen in the area you cover?
Yes, Brookgreen is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Will you come out to Brookgreen?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
What does a thermal roof survey show?
It records surface temperature across the roof. Unusual patterns can point to trapped water, gaps in insulation or heat escaping, which we then check with moisture readings.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. The report follows by email.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can show heat loss and some damp, but it has more limits there. We explain what the images can and cannot tell you, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
How the survey changes by roof type
Loft insulation
Insulation frequently gets moved during work in the loft. The camera can show where it no longer covers the ceiling.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Water can get through cracked GRP into the deck. We look at cracks by eye and use the images to see whether there is a pattern around them.
How we price thermal roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The size of the roof
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You’ll know the exact price before booking.
What to let us know when you get in touch
What helps most when you contact us:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Anything about access we should know
- The address and postcode of the property
- What kind of property and roof it is
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
What this survey cannot tell you
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.

Thermal roof surveys around Brookgreen
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Brookgreen, and wind off the sea can be strong. Calm, dry conditions after a sunny day suit thermal imaging best, so the visit is planned around the forecast. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Take an older house close to St. Mary's Church: thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image. With Mottistone Manor about 0.9 miles north-east, the area around Brookgreen has a long history. Photos from the air and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it.
