Thermal roof survey in Eversley Cross
Wet insulation under a flat roof covering holds heat for longer than dry. That means a wet area can show up as a different temperature from the rest of the roof. It helps us see how far water may have spread under the covering, which is hard to judge by eye. Moisture readings are then used to check what the camera suggests. Typical surveys look at water getting in at parapets and stacks and possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering, on insulated roof spaces, pitched roof slopes and commercial roofs.
Villages like Eversley Cross frequently stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
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.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking.

What happens if roof problems are left?
For buyers, a thermal survey adds detail that a visual inspection cannot give. Hidden problems found before exchange can be raised with the seller or agent. Around Eversley Cross, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.

Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
- A formal energy assessment
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Loft conversions
- Insulated roof spaces
- Flat roofs
- Commercial roofs
- Ceilings below the roof
- Pitched roof slopes
What we do, step by step
Where it is relevant and can be reached safely, the loft space is checked as well as the outside. In the loft, the signs we look for are staining, damp, daylight and sagging. All in, the survey typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and longer for a large or complex roof. Older roofs in small places like Eversley Cross can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- 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.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Preparing for the visit
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
Booking a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine, and please do not climb up for a closer look. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Eversley Cross: your questions answered
How do I find out if my home in Eversley Cross is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Will you come out to Eversley Cross?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does someone need to be in?
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 when booking.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We’re roof surveyors, not structural engineers, and it does not include calculations. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
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.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
Thermal imaging can help, alongside other checks. What it shows depends on the weather and the roof. If the source can’t be confirmed, we’ll say what could help next, such as electronic leak detection.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the loft space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
What we’re asked to look at in Eversley Cross
Unexplained damp is one of the main reasons people ask for thermal imaging. Water can travel under a roof covering or along timbers before it shows inside. The camera helps narrow the search.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
