Advice
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Cheeseman's Green
Thermal imaging is a useful tool, but it has limits. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. The report is clear about what the images show and what they don’t. If a finding can’t be confirmed, the report suggests a next step. We’re often asked to look into cold areas below the roof and missing or slipped insulation, on commercial roofs, pitched roof slopes and flat roofs.
Somewhere as small as Cheeseman's Green, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you cannot get from the ground. Weather and airspace are checked before the visit. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
It isn’t only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Common roof problems in Cheeseman's Green
Unexplained damp is one of the main reasons people ask for thermal imaging. Water can travel under a roof covering or along timbers before it shows inside. The camera helps narrow the search.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
Anyone responsible for a site like Finberry Primary School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What exactly goes into their report
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How soon the report will arrive
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
Cheeseman's Green questions

What’s the best way to book?
It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and a few details about the roof. We survey on any day of the week.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
It is a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. The results depend on conditions on the day. If the source can’t be confirmed, we’ll say what could help next, such as electronic leak detection.
Does thermal imaging detect leaks directly?
Thermal imaging shows temperature rather than water. Because wet insulation holds heat for longer, it can show as a different temperature, but we check each finding with moisture readings.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Heat lost through a roof costs money every winter. Thermal images can show where insulation is missing or has slipped, so you know where to put things right. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Cheeseman's Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £400, including VAT. You will know the price for your roof before you book.
