Thermal Roof Survey in Cassiobury
We take a careful look at the roof at your property in Cassiobury, and put it all in a photo-illustrated written report.
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Heat escaping through the roof
Thermal roof survey in Cassiobury
Thermal imaging is useful when a damp patch has no clear cause. Leaks often run along a roof before they appear on a ceiling, and temperature patterns can help us trace where it may have come from. The images are used alongside a visual inspection and moisture readings, so no conclusion rests on one method alone. If you’ve noticed wet insulation beneath the membrane and damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older cottages and houses around Cassiobury may have little insulation, and some have extensions with their own roofs. A thermal image can show where heat is escaping or where moisture may be trapped, and drone photos show the roof surfaces themselves. Findings are checked with moisture readings where needed. Calm, dry weather suits both methods, so the date is set with the forecast in mind.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Without thermal imaging, the only way to see how far water has spread is often to open up the roof. That helps you and your roofer decide what really needs replacing. With lower homes, common in places like Cassiobury, there is little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so a small leak can mark a ceiling within a few storms. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT.

Checking the roof from the ground
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and falls from height are serious. That’s where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.

What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for a house, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a smaller place like Cassiobury, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from ground level, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where applicable.
- You tell us 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.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Before we arrive
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Book a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Make sure the loft can be reached safely
Once we’ve been, the thermal images, photos and readings go into a single report. We explain what each image may mean, alongside what we recommend. With a Premium Survey, you get the report 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.

Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Can thermal imaging show missing insulation?
Thermal images can suggest where heat is escaping and where insulation may be missing. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations, but the images show where improvements may help.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Cassiobury
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from the ground, drone photos and thermal images add detail. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.

Shop and office owners around Charter Place may find that a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it. If you look after a building such as Watford St John's Church of England Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
