Thermal roof survey in Denvilles
Our thermal survey records how the surface temperature varies across your roof. Those patterns can point to trapped moisture, missing insulation or heat escaping. It is important to know that the camera shows temperature, not water, so findings are checked with moisture readings. It comes as part of our Premium Survey, from £400. Conditions on the day affect the results, and the report explains how. We survey loft conversions, pitched roof slopes and ceilings below the roof, and the problems we are asked to look at most are ceilings that feel colder in places and wet areas near outlets and upstands.
Older cottages and houses around Denvilles may have little insulation, and some have extensions with their own roofs. A thermal image can show where heat is escaping or where moisture may be trapped, and drone photos show the roof surfaces themselves. Findings are checked with moisture readings where needed. Calm, dry weather suits both methods, so the date is set with the forecast in mind.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What we do, step by step
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there is safe access, from inside the loft space too. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey typically takes about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. For a survey in Denvilles, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there’s safe access, in the loft.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Preparing for the visit
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

What we’re asked to look at in Denvilles
After a long-running leak, insulation under a flat roof can stay wet. Owners want to know how far it has spread before deciding what to do. Thermal images and moisture readings together can show the likely extent.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
If you look after a building such as Warblington School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
What to check before booking
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Is VAT included in the price?
Denvilles questions
Do you cover smaller places like Denvilles?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How do I find out if my home in Denvilles 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.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
What does the report include?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. The most urgent items are made clear.
What do I do with the report?
The report arrives by email. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation.
Does the weather affect a thermal survey?
The weather makes a real difference. It works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind. Rain and strong wind can make the images less clear, so we talk through the forecast as you book.
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.
Useful tips for Denvilles property owners
Getting the most from a thermal roof survey starts before we arrive and carries on afterwards. Tips:
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Check the loft can be reached safely
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- Heat the home normally on the days before
Once we have been, the thermal images, photos and readings go into a single report. Each image is explained in plain words, alongside what we recommend. With a Premium Survey, you get the report the same day.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
Prices for thermal roof surveys in Denvilles
Survey packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:

- Which survey package you book
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.

Different roofs, different checks
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Because these membranes are thin, patterns from below often show. Reflections from shiny surfaces can affect readings, which we allow for.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
These coverings sit directly on the layers beneath, so temperature differences frequently show through. We confirm any patterns with moisture readings.
For landlords and managing agents
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work with less disruption.
Thermal roof surveys around Denvilles
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Denvilles, and coastal wind can be strong. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. 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 often hard to see from the ground, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around Denvilles means lost rooms as well as repairs, so it pays to find faults before guests do. Take an older house close to St Thomas à Becket Church: tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
