Thermal roof survey in Epsom Downs
A thermal survey can point to places where heat is escaping through the roof. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated areas can stand out on the images. The difference shows most clearly when it is warm inside and cold outside. Our report points out what the images suggest and where to look more closely. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. If you’re worried about missing or slipped insulation and water that travels before it shows, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, insulated roof spaces and loft conversions alike.
In a small place like Epsom Downs, open ground can mean strong wind. High wind or heavy rain 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.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

FAQs for Epsom Downs
Do you cover smaller places like Epsom Downs?
Yes, Epsom Downs is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you cover Epsom Downs?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take about one to two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. The written report follows by email.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it applies and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we’re a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Epsom Downs?
Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we do not carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Epsom Downs
Buyers get extra information from thermal images that the eye can miss. Hidden problems found before exchange can be raised with the seller or agent. For an older or listed building in a place like Epsom Downs, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT.

The survey, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes between one and two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Around Epsom Downs, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps 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 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.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Before we arrive
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
Booking a survey

Thermal roof surveys in Epsom Downs: local notes
About 2.1 miles north lies Fitznells Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Epsom Downs has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Parish Church of St Martin, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Warren Mead Infant School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Common roof problems in Epsom Downs
After a repair, some owners want to know whether the roof has dried out. A thermal survey with moisture readings can show whether wet areas remain, given suitable conditions on the day.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
For businesses in and around places like The Ashley Centre, big, flat commercial roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images help most.
What to check before booking
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What happens after the report arrives
- How soon the report will arrive
Useful tips for Epsom Downs property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
If you are buying, the report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. What you do with it is up to you, whether you ask for work before completion or discuss the price.
Clear outlets and gutters regularly, so water does not sit on the roof. Less standing water means less chance of it getting under the covering.
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
- A structural engineer’s assessment
- The condition of timbers we cannot see
