Thermal Roof Survey in Burwood Park
We carry out thermal roof surveys in Burwood Park and the rest of Surrey. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Cold areas below the roof
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Don’t climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- File the images with your roof records
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
Once we have been, the thermal images, photos and readings go into a single report. We explain what each image may mean, with our recommendations. Premium reports are sent the same day.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Burwood Park
Thermal imaging can also show where a roof is losing heat. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves often show up as temperature differences. The difference shows most clearly when it’s warm inside and cold outside. The report shows the images and explains what they may mean. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. If you are worried about damp around chimneys and parapets and stains that keep coming back, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Burwood Park, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. 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 in advance. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Thermal roof surveys in Burwood Park: local notes
About 1.7 miles south-east lies The Homewood, a reminder of how long the area around Burwood Park has been built on. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
Take a building like Cleves School: big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Wet insulation under a flat roof does not dry out on its own while the covering stays on. In time, it stops insulating properly and can damage the deck. Finding the wet areas sooner keeps the work smaller. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
To find out what your survey will cost, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

Questions from Burwood Park
Is my home in Burwood Park listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Burwood Park in the area you cover?
Yes, Burwood Park is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Burwood Park as anywhere else.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and they go into the written report.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
Conditions on the day have a big effect on what the camera can show. A dry surface, little wind and a sunny spell beforehand help most. Our report notes the conditions and how they affected the findings.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
What happens next?
The report arrives by email, with photos and clear recommendations. With Standard there’s a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
What happens on the day
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take about one to two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Rural addresses near Burwood Park can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there is safe access, in the loft.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
Arrange a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Do you need a thermal roof survey in Burwood Park?
Some buyers want extra detail before they commit to a purchase. A Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where it applies and a same-day report, which suits a purchase that’s moving quickly.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Water that travels before it shows
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What exactly goes into their report
- When you will get the report
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
Roof by roof
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Thin membranes can show patterns from the layers beneath. Reflections from shiny surfaces can affect readings, which we allow for.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Thermal images of a pitched roof can still show heat loss patterns and some damp areas. The report explains what the images can tell you and what they can’t.
Checking the roof from the ground
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
