Thermal Roof Survey in Englefield Green
Know where you stand with the roof before you spend money on it. We carry out thermal roof surveys in Englefield Green.
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Cold areas below the roof
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
What a survey costs
To price your survey, we look at:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Roof area
- House, block, shop or office
- Building height and the viewpoints available
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
What to let us know when you contact us
When you call or email, these details help:
- Dates you are working to, like exchange
- The address and postcode of the property
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
When you’re ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Englefield Green
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’s important to know that the camera shows temperature, not water, so we check what it shows 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. If you’ve noticed moisture around outlets and upstands and leaks that are hard to trace, we can find out what’s behind it.
Places like Englefield Green can be near small airfields or other airspace restrictions, so every drone flight starts with a check of the Drone Safety Map. Exposed sites can be windy, and a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind. Neighbours’ privacy is part of planning each flight, along with the airspace and the weather.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when you book and it will help the survey.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Thermal roof surveys in Englefield Green: local notes
Within a mile and a half or so of Englefield Green there are several hotels, and hotels, like offices and blocks of flats, often have flat roofs. If you look after one, a large roof can be surveyed without guests having anyone working above them. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Take a building like Englefield Green Infant School and Nurseries: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. Frogmore House lies about 3.2 miles north, so building around Englefield Green goes back a long way. Aerial photos and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it.

Do you need a thermal roof survey in Englefield Green?
Not every roof problem shows on the surface. Trapped moisture, missing insulation and hidden heat loss are three examples. Thermal imaging gives us another way to look for them.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Cold areas below the roof
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Stains that keep coming back
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Our Lady of the Assumption, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How long the report takes to arrive
Why act early in Englefield Green
The longer moisture sits in a roof, the more it can affect timbers and finishes below. Looking now, while the damage may still be limited, keeps more options open. With lower homes, common in places like Englefield Green, there’s little between a roof defect and the ceiling, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. We confirm the price for your survey before you book.

How the survey changes by roof type
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
On big single-ply roofs, the camera helps show where to take readings. That makes the survey more focused.
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP roofs are laid over timber boards, so trapped moisture can affect the deck. The camera can help show where to look.
Common questions in Englefield Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Englefield Green?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Englefield Green is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
Will you come out to Englefield Green?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long is the visit?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take an hour or two at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. The written report follows by email.
How quickly is the report sent?
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.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Englefield Green?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
What does the report include?
A written report with photos, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations, with the most urgent first where relevant. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable and structural analysis.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Being in a smaller place like Englefield Green does not change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
