Drones, thermal imaging and Castle Green roofs
Fairoaks Airport is about 3 miles from Castle Green. If the drone is used for your survey, the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions first. The wider area around Castle Green has a long history of building, with Botleys Mansion about 4.2 miles north-east. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Lawrence, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view by drone or thermal camera helps. For businesses in and around places such as The Peacocks, large commercial roofs are often easiest to see from the air or with a thermal camera. Take a building like St Lawrence CofE (Aided) Primary School: a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

About our thermal roof survey in Castle Green
Your report sets out the thermal images alongside ordinary photographs, so it’s 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. Premium reports are sent 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. If you are worried about heat escaping through the roof and moisture around outlets and upstands, we can find out what’s behind it, on ceilings below the roof, insulated roof spaces and loft conversions alike.
Somewhere as small as Castle 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. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Why it is worth a survey now in Castle Green
The longer moisture sits in a roof, the more it can affect timbers and finishes below. Surveying sooner gives you more choice about what to do. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.

When you need someone else
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- An energy rating for the building
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roofs we survey in Castle Green

Castle Green: your questions answered
Are there drone restrictions around Castle Green?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Castle Green is about 3 miles from Fairoaks Airport, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
How do I find out if my home in Castle Green is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. The written report follows by email.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. Photographs are taken throughout the survey, and the report uses them to show each finding alongside our recommendations.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we will agree the details when you book.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
It can help narrow down where water may be getting in. Water can travel under a covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help follow it. We combine it with a visual inspection and moisture readings, as the camera alone can’t prove a leak.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can help, but the results are often less clear than on a flat roof. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we also look from the loft where it’s safe.
Roof by roof
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
On larger commercial single-ply roofs, thermal imaging can help target moisture readings. That makes the survey more focused.
Loft insulation
Insulation often gets moved during work in the loft. The camera can show where it no longer covers the ceiling.
What else we do in Castle Green
Checking the roof from ground level
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Height and safe access
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What to let us know when you contact us
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
We confirm the price for your survey before you book, so you know the cost up front. Our price is from £400, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes an hour or two at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Castle Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- 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.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
How to prepare
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Keep pets in another room
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
