Thermal Roof Survey in Burgh Heath
We take a careful look at the roof at your property in Burgh Heath, with photographs and a written report.
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
When to book a survey in Burgh Heath
Once a leak has been fixed, people often ask whether the roof is still wet. Thermal images and moisture readings can suggest whether moisture is still trapped when the conditions on the day are suitable.
Look out for signs like these:
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
For businesses in and around places like The Ashley Centre, big, flat commercial roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help most.

Thermal roof survey in Burgh Heath: what you get
Your report sets out the thermal images alongside ordinary photos, so it’s easy to see which part of the roof each one shows. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. With a Premium Survey, the report reaches you the same day. If you have questions, the in-person consultation gives you time to go through them. A follow-up 12 months later is included too. Common reasons to book are damp that repairs haven’t cured and patches of heat loss across the roof, on commercial roofs, pitched roof slopes and loft conversions.
Older buildings in small places like Burgh Heath may be listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Tips that help
Getting the most from a thermal roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Some tips:
- Make sure the loft can be reached safely
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Do not switch the heating off ahead of the visit
Premium Surveys include an in-person consultation, so you can go through the images with us. There is a 12-month follow-up too.
Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof, when the conditions are suitable.
What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Around Burgh Heath, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there’s safe access, in the loft.
- 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
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors

We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Is Burgh Heath within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How does a thermal imaging roof survey work?
The images show how warm or cool each part of the surface is. Differences can suggest wet areas, missing insulation or heat loss, and we check them with moisture readings.

Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Does the weather affect a thermal survey?
The results depend on the weather. A dry surface, little wind and a sunny spell beforehand help most. Our report notes the conditions and how they affected the findings.
Can thermal imaging show missing insulation?
It can show temperature patterns that point to missing or thin insulation. It shows most clearly when it’s warm inside and cold outside. Where we can reach the loft safely, we check there too.

- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
