Cramhurst Thermal Roof Survey
Find out what’s going on with the roof before you spend money on it. We carry out thermal roof surveys in Cramhurst, with photos and a clear written report.
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Stains that keep coming back
What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes an hour or two at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Rural addresses near Cramhurst can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Before the survey
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Getting a price

Thermal roof survey in Cramhurst: what you get
On a flat roof, wet insulation holds heat longer than dry insulation. So a wet patch can show as a warmer or cooler area on the camera. This can give an idea of how far water has travelled beneath the membrane, which is hard to judge by eye. Moisture readings are then used to check what the camera suggests. We survey loft conversions, pitched roof slopes and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are thin or uneven insulation in the roof and heat escaping through the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Cramhurst may be 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. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. You will see the good as well as the bad.

FAQs for Cramhurst
How do I find out if my home in Cramhurst is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover smaller places like Cramhurst?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
How long will you be at the property?
It usually takes between one and two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. You’ll then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
Does the weather affect a thermal survey?
Conditions on the day have a big effect on what the camera can show. Dry, calm weather after some sun gives the best chance of clear images. Our report notes the conditions and how they affected the findings.
What can thermal imaging tell me about my roof?
The camera records how the surface temperature varies. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or heat escaping. We check what it shows with moisture readings.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, like cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. That comes down to:
- The roof’s overall size
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What to let us know when you get in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- When you need the report by
- The property’s address and postcode
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Thermal roof surveys in Cramhurst: local notes
Historic houses such as Loseley Park, about 4.4 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Cramhurst goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Take an older house close to St John the Evangelist's Church: older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.

What you can safely check yourself
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:
- File the images with your roof records
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
If the images suggest moisture that cannot be confirmed, we will say what would help next, such as electronic leak detection or opening up a small area.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
Why get it checked now?
The longer moisture sits in a roof, the more it can affect timbers and finishes below. Surveying sooner gives you more choice about what to do. In a small place like Cramhurst, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
To find out what your survey will cost, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and tell us about the roof. We will confirm the figure before booking.
