Thermal imaging roof survey in Easington, Buckinghamshire
Know where you stand with the roof before you spend money on it. We carry out thermal roof surveys in Easington, with photos and a clear written report.
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
How a thermal roof survey works in Easington
Your report sets out the thermal images alongside ordinary photographs, making it clear where on the roof each pattern is. We explain what each pattern may mean, what the moisture readings found and what we recommend. 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 loft conversions, ceilings below the roof and flat roofs, and people most frequently book us about water getting in at parapets and stacks and cold spots on ceilings under the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Easington are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent, whichever applies.

What we are asked to look at in Easington
Some owners book because the rooms under the roof feel cold. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated roof areas can show up on the camera, particularly when there’s a clear difference between inside and outside.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Stains that keep coming back
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
Take a building like Long Crendon School: big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- How long the report takes to arrive

What else we do in Easington
Thermal roof surveys around Easington
Historic houses such as Boarstall Tower, about 4.6 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Easington goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Take an older house close to Parish Church of St Mary: tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How big the roof is
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Prices start from £400, including VAT.
What we need to know
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It is useful to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- When you need the report by

Tips from our surveys
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Check from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
The report explains the conditions on the day and how they affected the images. It helps you judge how firm each finding is.
Have small defects in the covering fixed early. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.
Why act early in Easington
Heat lost through a roof costs money every winter. The camera can point to gaps and thin areas in the insulation, so you know where to put things right. In a small place like Easington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

How it works
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof; as a rough guide, the survey takes an hour or two at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. Older roofs in small places like Easington can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Getting ready for the survey
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Getting a price

Advice
Landlords, agents and block managers in Easington
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Common questions in Easington
How do I find out if my home in Easington is listed?
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.
Do you cover smaller places like Easington?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it when booking and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. Photographs are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. Where a material might contain it, like 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 is disturbed.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we don’t carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
How fast do I get the report?
That depends on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
