Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Bullsmoor
Is Bullsmoor within the area you cover?
Yes, Bullsmoor is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Is Bullsmoor in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Bullsmoor as anywhere else.
Can a thermal camera see water?
Not directly. It shows surface temperature, and wet areas can show up because they hold heat differently. That’s why we check any patterns with moisture readings.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where it applies.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are usually harder to read. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we also look from the loft where it’s safe.
Thermal roof survey in Bullsmoor: 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. 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. We are frequently asked to look into damp around chimneys and parapets and ceilings that feel colder in places, on flat roofs, pitched roof slopes and commercial roofs.
Places like Bullsmoor 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 cannot fly safely in strong wind. Each flight is planned with neighbours’ privacy in mind, as well as the airspace and the wind.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What we are asked to look at in Bullsmoor
People frequently book a thermal survey when a damp patch has no obvious cause. Water can travel under a roof covering or along timbers before it shows inside. The camera helps narrow the search.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Stains that keep coming back
- Gaps in loft insulation
Shop and office owners around Edmonton Green Shopping Centre may find that a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it.
Questions to ask before you book
- When you’ll get the report
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Their insurance cover
- Whether you get a written report with photos
How it works
We look at the roof from outside and, where it’s relevant and there is safe access, from inside the roof space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey normally takes an hour or two for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Being in a smaller place like Bullsmoor doesn’t change how the visit works: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- 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.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there’s safe access.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent

- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them

Roof by roof
Pitched slate and tile roofs
On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s happening underneath. We back up what the camera shows with a look in the loft where we can.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Water under felt or asphalt can stay hidden for years. Thermal imaging helps suggest where it is, when the conditions allow.
Tips from our surveys
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- Don’t switch the heating off before the visit
- Tell us where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
After the visit, we put the thermal images, photographs and moisture readings into one report. We explain what each image may mean, with our recommendations. Premium reports are sent the same day.
Deal with small splits and lifted seams promptly. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Bullsmoor
Forty Hall, about 1 mile south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Bullsmoor. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Honilands Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. If you live in an older home near St George's Church, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
