Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Crowmarsh Gifford
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. It also includes a drone inspection where applicable, a structural analysis and a same-day report. There’s an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. If you’re worried about possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering and water getting in at parapets and stacks, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Villages like Crowmarsh Gifford often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. Strong wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photograph. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Why get it checked now?
Without thermal imaging, the only way to see how far water has spread is often to open up the roof. That helps you and your roofer decide what really needs replacing. In a small place like Crowmarsh Gifford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Take a look at what a roof survey costs and what we found on two real jobs.
How the survey works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the roof space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. Around Crowmarsh Gifford, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 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.

Common questions in Crowmarsh Gifford
Is Crowmarsh Gifford within the area you cover?
Yes, Crowmarsh Gifford is covered. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Crowmarsh Gifford?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will the camera show exactly where the water is?
Not directly. It shows temperature, and wet materials often behave differently from dry ones. That is why we check any patterns with moisture readings.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
Thermal images can suggest where heat is escaping and where insulation may be missing. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations, but the report shows where to look more closely.
How soon will I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline as you book.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details when you book.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Crowmarsh Gifford?
Simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- Tell us where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
- Check outlets after heavy rain
You can pass the report to a roofer so they can see where the problem areas seem to be. Each thermal image is matched to a normal photo, so the areas are easy to locate.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.

When to book a survey in Crowmarsh Gifford
Cold rooms under a roof, or high heating bills, lead some people to ask about heat loss. Missing or slipped insulation can stand out as temperature differences, especially when it’s warm inside and cold outside.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Leaks that are hard to trace
If you look after a building such as Crowmarsh Gifford Church of England School, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Whether you get a written report with photos

Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time.
If the property is let, the agent or a tenant can let us in. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
Flying and imaging in Crowmarsh Gifford
West Oxfordshire’s older buildings frequently carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. RAF Benson is about 2 miles from Crowmarsh Gifford. If your survey includes the drone, the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions first.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary Magdalene, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. With Brightwell Manor about 2.7 miles west, the area around Crowmarsh Gifford has a long history. A drone or thermal survey doesn’t involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings.

What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- Anything about access we should know
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
