How a thermal roof survey works in Coleshill
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. Our report says plainly what the camera picked up and how sure we can be. If a finding can’t be confirmed, the report suggests a next step. We’re often asked to look into areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions and water getting in at parapets and stacks, on flat roofs, pitched roof slopes and loft conversions.
Villages like Coleshill often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. High wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

FAQs for Coleshill
Do you carry out roof surveys in Coleshill?
Yes, Coleshill is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos.
Will you come out to Coleshill?
Yes, Coleshill is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
How soon will I get the report?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Reports are sent by email.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
It is a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. The results depend on conditions on the day. Where it cannot be pinned down, the report suggests a next step, such as electronic leak detection.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can show heat loss and some damp, but it has more limits there. Our report is clear about what can be read from them, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
When to book a survey in Coleshill
People often book a thermal survey when a damp patch has no obvious cause. A leak may start well away from where the stain appears. Temperature patterns can help narrow down where to look.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
For hotels and guest houses around Coleshill, a roof problem found early is far less disruptive than one found by a guest, so it pays to find faults before guests do.
Questions to ask before you book
- When you’ll get the report
- Their insurance cover
- Whether the price includes VAT
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
What happens if roof problems are left?
Heat lost through a roof costs money every winter. The camera can point to gaps and thin areas in the insulation, so improvements can go where they’re needed. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Coleshill, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the exact price before booking.

Drones, thermal imaging and Coleshill roofs
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Many roofs like these can’t be judged properly from the pavement, and that is where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Coleshill Church of England Infant School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of All Saints, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps.

Different roofs, different checks
Pitched slate and tile roofs
From inside the loft, the camera can help with damp around chimneys, valleys and roof windows. We check any patterns with moisture readings.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Because these membranes are thin, patterns from below frequently show. Reflections from shiny surfaces can affect readings, which we allow for.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Coleshill
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it as you book and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.

What we do, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. Rural addresses near Coleshill can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First we go over the roof, the problem you’ve noticed and the conditions forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- A thermal camera records how the surface temperature varies across the roof.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there’s safe access.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
Before we arrive
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Find any records of previous roof work
