Eversholt Thermal Roof Survey
We take a careful look at the roof at your property in Eversholt, with photos and a written report.
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
Useful tips for Eversholt property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Do not switch the heating off ahead of the visit
- Don’t climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- File the images with your roof records
After the visit, we put the thermal images, photographs and moisture readings into one report. We explain what each image may mean, with our recommendations. Premium reports are sent the same day.
Deal with small splits and lifted seams promptly. Once water gets under a membrane, it can travel far before it appears inside.
How a thermal roof survey works in Eversholt
Flat roofs over extensions, garages, flats and commercial buildings are where thermal imaging frequently helps most. Patterns can suggest where water is trapped under the covering. On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can hide what’s below, so we combine the camera with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access. We survey pitched roof slopes, commercial roofs and insulated roof spaces, and common reasons people get in touch are damp patches with no obvious cause and leaks far from where the stain appears.
Older buildings in small places like Eversholt may be listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it’s a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for instance when you want to check whether anything has changed.

For landlords and managing agents
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Eversholt. For a price for a let property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Roof area
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £400, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
Helping us price your survey
You do not need to know any roofing terms. Just tell us:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- The address and postcode of the property
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or email us. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
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. The survey itself takes an hour or two for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Rural addresses near Eversholt can be hard to find from a postcode alone, 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.
- You let us know about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Before we arrive
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Find any records of previous roof work
Book a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Advice
Airspace, weather and Eversholt roofs
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. 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. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Historic houses such as Flitwick Manor, about 1.9 miles east, show how far back building around Eversholt goes. Photos from the air and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it. If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Lawrence, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

What you can safely check yourself
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
Common questions in Eversholt
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Eversholt?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Is Eversholt in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Eversholt is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
Thermal images can suggest where heat is escaping and where insulation may be missing. The survey isn’t an energy rating or a heat loss calculation, but the images show where improvements may help.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are usually harder to read. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we combine it with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access.
How quickly is the report sent?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it’s applicable. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.

What else we do in Eversholt
Different roofs, different checks
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.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Parapet and valley gutters can overflow inside a building. Thermal images, checked with moisture readings, can help trace it.
