Thermal roof survey in Clewer
A thermal survey is not a quick fix for every roof problem. 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. Where something cannot be confirmed, we say what would help next. If you’re worried about wet insulation beneath the membrane and water getting in at parapets and stacks, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In smaller places like Clewer, many homes are bungalows and houses with roofs you can partly see from the ground. The parts you cannot see, like rear slopes, valleys and chimney tops, are where a drone or thermal camera adds detail. Both depend on the weather on the day. Even so, a close-up image frequently shows wear on ridges and flashings that a view from ground level misses.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Clewer
Is Clewer in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Clewer?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes an hour or two at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
The results depend on the weather. A dry surface, little wind and a sunny spell beforehand help most. We record the conditions in the report, so you know how much weight to give the images.
Can a thermal camera see water?
The camera doesn’t see water itself. Wet insulation holds heat longer than dry, so it can stand out, and moisture readings are used to check it.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Common roof problems in Clewer
Some owners book because the rooms under the roof feel cold. Missing or slipped insulation can stand out as temperature differences, particularly when there’s a clear difference between inside and outside.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed something like this:
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Cold areas below the roof
If you run a hotel or guest house in or near Clewer, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use, so it’s worth knowing the roof’s condition.
Before you book anyone
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Their insurance cover
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Whether the price includes VAT
What we look for on each type of roof
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
On larger commercial single-ply roofs, thermal imaging can help target moisture readings. It focuses the survey on the areas that matter.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Parapet and valley gutters can overflow inside a building. We use the camera and moisture readings to help follow it.
What else we do in Clewer
Checking the roof from the ground
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Clewer
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Landlords, agents and building managers in Clewer and across Windsor and Maidenhead can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
The survey, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take an hour or two for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Being in a smaller place like Clewer doesn’t change how the visit works: we look from the ground, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it’s safe. It’s useful to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
