Thermal imaging roof survey in Edgehill, Oxfordshire
We carry out thermal roof surveys in Edgehill and the rest of Oxfordshire. Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends.
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
What happens on the day
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. The whole visit normally takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Around Edgehill, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work

Advice
How a thermal roof survey works in Edgehill
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. It also includes a drone inspection where it applies, a structural analysis and a same-day report. There’s an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. To book, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’ve noticed. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. We survey flat roofs, ceilings below the roof and pitched roof slopes, and people most often book us about ceilings that feel colder in places and gaps in loft insulation.
In a small place like Edgehill, open ground can mean strong wind. Strong wind or a downpour stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

Do you need a thermal roof survey in Edgehill?
Some buyers want extra detail before they commit to a purchase. A Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and a same-day report, which helps when timescales are tight.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, 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.
Before you book anyone
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What the survey won’t cover
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
Different roofs, different checks
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.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s happening underneath. We back up what the camera shows with a look in the loft where we can.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Edgehill
Thermal images can suggest the extent of wet areas without cutting into the roof. That helps you and your roofer decide what really needs replacing. Older and listed buildings around Edgehill may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both inc. VAT. We confirm the price for the job before you book.

Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from ground level. Our suggestions:
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Let us know where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
After the visit, we put the thermal images, photographs and moisture readings into one report. We explain what each image may mean, alongside what we recommend. Premium reports are sent the same day.
After repairs or a new covering, a later survey can confirm things are dry in suitable weather.
FAQs for Edgehill
Will you come out to Edgehill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Do you cover Edgehill?
Yes, Edgehill is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
Gaps and thin areas of insulation can show up on the camera. The difference is clearest when the building is heated and it’s colder outside. Where we can reach the loft safely, we check there too.
What will the report tell me?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photos. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs like sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. If one is needed, the report says so.
What does a thermal roof survey show?
It records surface temperature across the roof. Unusual patterns can point to trapped water, gaps in insulation or heat escaping, and we check them with moisture readings.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?
On pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp patterns. Our report is clear about what can be read from them, and back them up with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
All our prices include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Height and safe access
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Booking your survey
A few details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, let us know:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- What kind of property and roof it is
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.
Thermal roof surveys around Edgehill
Upton House, about 1 mile south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Edgehill. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. West Oxfordshire’s older buildings often carry Cotswold stone slates, and a few villages in the county keep their thatch. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Many roofs like these cannot be judged properly from the pavement, and that’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
Edgehill is about 6 miles north-west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. Edgehill is part of the area we cover and the surrounding area across London and South East England. We cover towns and villages across Oxfordshire, large and small. For surveys nearby, see our Oxford page.
