Thermal imaging roof survey in Deepcut, Surrey
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof for Deepcut, from an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Stains that keep coming back
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
Airspace, weather and Deepcut roofs
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Anyone responsible for a site like Sandringham Infant & Nursery School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

Thermal roof survey in Deepcut
A thermal survey can point to places where heat is escaping through the roof. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated areas can stand out on the images. It works best when the building is heated and it’s colder outside. Our report points out what the images suggest and where to look more closely. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. We’re often asked to look into areas of a flat roof that may hold water and ceilings that feel colder in places, across loft conversions, flat roofs and insulated roof spaces.
Places like Deepcut can be near small airfields or other airspace restrictions, so the Drone Safety Map is checked before any flight. Exposed sites can be windy, and a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind. Neighbours’ privacy is part of planning each flight, along with the airspace and the weather.
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.

Do you need a thermal roof survey in Deepcut?
Not every roof problem shows on the surface. Wet insulation, gaps in insulation and heat loss are frequently invisible from outside. Thermal imaging gives us another way to look for them.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Water that travels before it shows
Around Deepcut, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- When you’ll get the report
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
How it works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Parking around Deepcut is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can safely be seen.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there’s safe access.
- You get a report with thermal images, photos and our recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
Arrange a survey
We confirm the exact price before booking, so you know the cost up front. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. For a price for your roof, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Advice
Practical tips
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
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.
Have small defects in the covering fixed early. Once water gets under a membrane, it can travel far before it appears inside.
What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- The property’s address and postcode
- The kind of building and roof involved

What else we do in Deepcut
What happens if roof problems are left?
A damp patch that keeps coming back normally has a cause that hasn’t been found. Thermal imaging with moisture readings can help narrow it down, rather than more guesswork. On a bungalow or cottage around Deepcut, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

Different roofs, different checks
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Thermal images of a pitched roof can still show heat loss patterns and some damp areas. We explain what can and can’t be read from them.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Glossy GRP can reflect heat. We take that into account and check findings with moisture readings.
Deepcut questions
What do I need to do before a survey in Deepcut?
Not much. Unlock side gates, keep pets in another room and dig out any invoices from past roof work, and the visit in Deepcut can get straight on.
Do you cover Deepcut?
Yes, Deepcut is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We’re a CAA-registered drone operator.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
What does a thermal roof survey show?
A thermal camera shows differences in surface temperature. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or heat escaping. We check what it shows with moisture readings.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. If one is needed, the report says so.
