Brooklands Thermal Roof Survey
Find out what’s going on with the roof before you spend money on it. Thermal roof surveys in Brooklands.
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
Checking the roof from ground level
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Brooklands
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. That’s why we check findings with moisture readings and a close visual inspection. The report is clear about what the images show and what they don’t. Where something can’t be confirmed, we say what would help next. We survey ceilings below the roof, loft conversions and pitched roof slopes, and people most frequently book us about damp around chimneys and parapets and areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions.
Places like Brooklands can be near small airfields or other airspace restrictions, so the Drone Safety Map is checked before any flight. Exposed sites can be windy, and a small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind, while thermal imaging also works best with little wind. Each flight is planned with neighbours’ privacy in mind, as well as the airspace and the wind.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Do you need a thermal roof survey in Brooklands?
Some buyers want extra detail before they commit to a purchase. The Premium Survey brings thermal imaging and a drone inspection where it applies, with a report the same day, which suits a purchase that is moving quickly.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Cold areas below the roof
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
Take an older house close to Church of St Charles Borromeo: steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether you get a written report with photos

Drones, thermal imaging and Brooklands roofs
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Historic houses such as Byfleet Manor, about 1.7 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Brooklands goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For hotels and guest houses around Brooklands, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest. If you look after a building such as Heathside School, big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.

Common questions in Brooklands
Is my home in Brooklands listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Brooklands?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Brooklands is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report, and it does not include calculations. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access; we’ll agree the details when you book.
Can a thermal camera see water?
Thermal imaging shows temperature rather than water. Because wet insulation holds heat for longer, it can show as a different temperature, and moisture readings are used to check it.
How do I book a survey in Brooklands?
The quickest way is to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. Surveys run seven days a week.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile 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 back them up with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
How it works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to Brooklands is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- You get a report with thermal images, photos and our recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
