Ewhurst Green Thermal Roof Survey
Know where you stand with the roof before you spend money on it. We carry out thermal roof surveys in Ewhurst Green.
- Stains that keep coming back
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
Honest limits
Our survey isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections

Thermal roof survey in Ewhurst Green
On a flat roof, wet insulation holds heat longer than dry insulation. 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. We then check those areas with moisture readings. Common reasons to book are leaks that are hard to trace and areas of a flat roof that may hold water, on flat roofs, commercial roofs and loft conversions.
Somewhere as small as Ewhurst Green, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Practical tips
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
You also get an in-person consultation with a Premium Survey, so you can go through the images with us. There’s a 12-month follow-up too.
Clear outlets and gutters regularly, so water doesn’t sit on the roof. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.

What else we do in Ewhurst Green
How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. In a hamlet or village like Ewhurst Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- 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.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Make sure the loft hatch can be reached
- Let us know about parking near the property

Advice
For landlords and managing agents
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Ewhurst Green. To discuss a property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
What we are asked to look at in Ewhurst Green
Once a leak has been fixed, people frequently ask whether the roof is still wet. Thermal images and moisture readings can suggest whether moisture is still trapped, given suitable conditions on the day.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Peter and St Paul, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What the survey won’t cover
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Ewhurst Green
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Many roofs like these can’t be judged properly from the pavement, and that’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
Take a building like Ewhurst CofE Aided Infant School: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

What we look for on each type of roof
Loft insulation
Insulation often gets moved during work in the loft. The camera can show where it no longer covers the ceiling.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
These coverings sit directly on the layers beneath, so temperature differences often show through. We confirm any patterns with moisture readings.
Common questions in Ewhurst Green
Is my home in Ewhurst Green listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Ewhurst Green?
Yes. Ewhurst Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Which survey includes thermal imaging?
It’s part of the Premium Survey, from £400. You also get an in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up. For bigger commercial roofs, we quote on size.
Will the camera show exactly where the water is?
Thermal imaging shows temperature rather than water. Because wet insulation holds heat for longer, it can show as a different temperature, and moisture readings are used to check it.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are usually harder to read. The air space under slates and tiles can hide patterns, so we also look from the loft where it’s safe.
What happens next?
You’ll receive the report by email, and you decide the next step: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
How soon will I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, let us know as you book.
