Thermal Roof Survey in Egham Wick
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof for Egham Wick and the rest of Surrey. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
How a thermal roof survey works in Egham Wick
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. It also includes a drone inspection where applicable, a structural analysis and a same-day report. There is an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. Typical surveys look at gaps in loft insulation and damp that repairs haven’t cured, across insulated roof spaces, commercial roofs and ceilings below the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Egham Wick 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, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Checking the roof from ground level
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.

What a thermal roof survey looks like in Egham Wick
About 3.6 miles north lies Frogmore House, a reminder of how long the area around Egham Wick has been built on. 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. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Steep or complicated roofs are frequently hard to see from the ground, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
For site and facilities teams at buildings like St Cuthbert's Catholic Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

What we are asked to look at in Egham Wick
Building owners and managing agents use thermal surveys to plan work on larger flat roofs. Patterns can point to wet areas and show which parts look sound, so we know where to take moisture readings.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Stains that keep coming back
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
The streets around a church like Church of Saint Simon and Saint Jude are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image.

What happens on the day
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. In a hamlet or village like Egham Wick, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We talk through the roof, any damp or leaks, and the weather expected on the day.
- We check the roof from ground level, from windows and from the roof itself where it is safe.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- Areas that look unusual on the camera are checked with moisture readings where possible.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
Booking a survey
Not sure which survey you need? It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.

What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- How big the roof is
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £400, including VAT.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The address and postcode of the property
- What made you get in touch
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
What this survey can’t tell you
Before booking, it’s worth knowing what a survey will not do:
- An energy rating for the building
- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check
- A structural engineer’s assessment

Questions from Egham Wick
Is Egham Wick in the area you cover?
Yes, Egham Wick is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Egham Wick as anywhere else.
Is Egham Wick within the area you cover?
Yes, Egham Wick is covered. We survey roofs across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Will the camera show exactly where the water is?
Thermal imaging shows temperature rather than water. Wet insulation holds heat longer than dry, so it can stand out, but we check each finding with moisture readings.
How fast do I get the report?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
