Thermal Roof Survey in Colliers Green
A careful look at the roof at your property in Colliers Green, and put it all in a written report with photos.

- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
About our thermal roof survey in Colliers Green
Thermal imaging is a useful tool, but it has limits. Sun, shade, reflective surfaces and wind can all change what the camera shows. That’s why we check findings with moisture readings and a close visual inspection. Our report says plainly what the camera picked up and how sure we can be. If a finding cannot be confirmed, the report suggests a next step. If you’ve noticed damp that repairs haven’t cured and moisture around outlets and upstands, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Colliers Green are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Roof by roof
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP surfaces can be shiny, which affects thermal readings. We allow for reflections and confirm findings with moisture readings.
Loft insulation
From inside the loft, thermal imaging can show gaps in insulation and cold spots. We inspect the loft where it can be reached safely.
Colliers Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Colliers Green?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will you come out to Colliers Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
When does the report arrive?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. Reports are sent by email.
What insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we’re not structural engineers and don’t carry out calculations. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
Which survey includes thermal imaging?
It comes with our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. The Premium Survey also covers a full inspection, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.

Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.

The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Somewhere like Colliers Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can safely be seen, inside and out.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Colliers Green
Flat roofs that have leaked for a while can have wet insulation under the covering. Owners want to know how far it has spread before deciding what to do. Thermal images and moisture readings together can show the likely extent.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
If you look after a building such as Colliers Green Church of England Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
Questions to ask before booking
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What they will not be able to tell you

What you can safely check yourself
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Why act early in Colliers Green
Heat lost through a roof costs money every winter. Thermal images can show where insulation is missing or has slipped, so improvements can go where they’re needed. Around Colliers Green, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Every price we give includes VAT. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. We confirm the exact price before booking.
