Thermal Roof Survey in Crow
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof in Crow, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
Honest limits
In fairness, a roof survey has limits:
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will recommend the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

How a thermal roof survey works in Crow
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, making it clear where on the roof each pattern is. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. Premium reports are sent the same day. You can talk the findings through with us at the in-person consultation. There is a 12-month follow-up as well. We survey insulated roof spaces, ceilings below the roof and flat roofs, and people most often book us about gaps in loft insulation and damp patches with no obvious cause.
Villages like Crow 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. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Crow
Some buyers want extra detail before they commit to a purchase. A Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where it applies and a same-day report, which helps when timescales are tight.
We are often asked to look at:
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Ringwood Junior School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
Before booking anyone
- How soon the report will arrive
- What the survey will not cover
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Around Crow, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We talk through the roof, any damp or leaks, and the weather expected on the day.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- Areas that look unusual on the camera are checked with moisture readings where possible.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Airspace, weather and Crow roofs
Historic houses such as Avon Tyrrell House, about 2.4 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Crow goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.

Common questions in Crow
Do you cover smaller places like Crow?
Yes, Crow is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Crow is listed?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
Will the camera show exactly where the water is?
Thermal imaging shows temperature rather than water. Wet insulation holds heat longer than dry, so it can stand out, but we check each finding with moisture readings.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed when you book.
What affects the price in Crow
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. That comes down to:
- House, block, shop or office
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
All our prices include VAT. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. You will know the price for your roof before you book.
Getting in touch
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to tell us:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
- The address and postcode of the property
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us, let us know about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Why get it checked now?
Thermal images can suggest the extent of wet areas without cutting into the roof. That helps you and your roofer decide what really needs replacing. Older and listed buildings around Crow may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both with VAT included. We confirm the exact price before you book.
