Thermal Roof Survey in Cox Green
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof around Cox Green, with a written report you can act on. Book a weekday or weekend visit.

- Stains that keep coming back
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Cox Green
Thermal imaging works best in the right conditions. A sunny day before the survey, a dry roof surface and little wind all help. Rain, wind and cloud can all make the patterns weaker. We talk through the forecast when booking, and our report notes the conditions and how they affected what we saw. Common reasons to book are heat escaping through the roof and wet insulation beneath the membrane, on flat roofs, loft conversions and pitched roof slopes.
In smaller places like Cox Green, many homes are bungalows and houses with roofs you can partly see from ground level. Chimney tops, valleys and rear slopes are where close-up or thermal images help most. Both depend on the weather on the day, as calm, dry conditions suit both. Close-up images often show wear on ridges, verges and flashings that can’t be judged properly from the ground.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to.

Useful tips for Cox Green property owners
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
You also get an in-person consultation with a Premium Survey, so you can go through the images with us. There is a 12-month follow-up too.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Early action keeps insulation from staying wet.
Thermal roof surveys around Cox Green
Historic houses such as Dorney Court, about 3.2 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Cox Green goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Steep or complicated roofs are frequently hard to see from ground level, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.
Anyone responsible for a site like Wessex Primary School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. For an older house near a landmark like All Saints' Church, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.

How it works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a photo-illustrated written report, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it normally takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. For a survey in Cox Green, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We check the roof from ground level, from windows and from the roof itself where it’s safe.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there is safe access.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Leave side gates unlocked

What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- House, block, shop or office
- The roof’s overall size
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
What to let us know when you contact us
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Anything about access we should know

- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- What’s prompted the survey

Why act early in Cox Green
Once insulation under a membrane is wet, it tends to stay wet. In time, it stops insulating properly and can damage the deck. Finding the wet areas sooner keeps the work smaller. On a bungalow or cottage around Cox Green, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.
What you get with us
- Surveys seven days a week
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- 98% of clients satisfied
- Packages from £150, with VAT included

Cox Green questions
Are there drone restrictions around Cox Green?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. White Waltham Airfield is about 2 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.
Do you cover smaller places like Cox Green?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take about one to two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. The written report follows by email.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can show heat loss and some damp, but it has more limits there. We explain what the images can and can’t tell you, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
Are you insured?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
