What a thermal roof survey doesn’t cover

- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
- Proving moisture from the images alone
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.

Thermal roof survey in Bury Green: what you get
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. You also get a drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. To book, just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. If you’ve noticed moisture around outlets and upstands and wet insulation beneath the membrane, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, insulated roof spaces and ceilings below the roof alike.
Somewhere as small as Bury Green, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Weather and airspace are looked at before the visit. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Checking the roof from ground level
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Bury Green
Is my home in Bury Green listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Bury Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Bury Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
It’s a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. What it shows depends on the weather and the roof. If the source cannot be confirmed, we will say what could help next, like electronic leak detection.
What’s in the survey report?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photos throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
On pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp patterns. We explain what the images can and cannot tell you, and back them up with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
Can a thermal camera see water?
Not directly. It shows temperature, and wet materials often behave differently from dry ones. We confirm what it suggests with moisture readings.
What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. We survey on any day of the week.

Airspace, weather and Bury Green roofs
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Historic houses like Much Hadham Palace, about 1.5 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Bury Green goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Cecilia, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. Take a building like Little Hadham Primary School: big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.

How the survey works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes an hour or two at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older rural homes like those around Bury Green can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- You let us know about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Before we arrive

Felt and asphalt flat roofs
These coverings sit directly on the layers beneath, so temperature differences frequently show through. We confirm any patterns with moisture readings.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Water under a GRP roof can reach the timber deck. Thermal imaging can suggest where that may be happening.
