Thermal roof survey in Dunsfold
Thermal imaging is useful when a damp patch has no clear cause. Leaks frequently run along a roof before they appear on a ceiling, and the camera can show patterns that help us follow it. The images are used alongside a visual inspection and moisture readings, so the findings do not rely on the camera alone. Common reasons to book are thin or uneven insulation in the roof and wet areas near outlets and upstands, across ceilings below the roof, loft conversions and pitched roof slopes.
In a small place like Dunsfold, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

Different roofs, different checks
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP surfaces can be shiny, which affects thermal readings. We take that into account and check findings with moisture readings.
Loft insulation
The difference is clearest when the home is heated and it is cold out. Our report notes how the conditions affected the images.

Useful tips for Dunsfold property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Don’t climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
After the visit, we put the thermal images, photographs and moisture readings into one report. Each image is explained in plain words, alongside what we recommend. Premium reports are sent the same day.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Early action keeps insulation from staying wet.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Dunsfold
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant.
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Flying and imaging in Dunsfold
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
For any home in Dunsfold, it’s the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary and All Saints, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps.

What we do, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos. On timing, it normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Older rural homes like those around Dunsfold can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there’s safe access, in the loft.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at

Advice
Dunsfold questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Dunsfold?
Yes, Dunsfold is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Dunsfold listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are typically harder to read. The air space under slates and tiles can hide patterns, so we combine it with an inspection from the loft where there is safe access.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
How soon will I get the report?
Each package has its own report time. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline when you book.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
