Thermal Roof Survey in Ewshot
Thermal roof surveys in Ewshot and the rest of Surrey. Surveys run on any day of the week.
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
How it works
Where it’s 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, as far as the space allows. The whole visit usually takes between one and two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. In a small place like Ewshot, access is typically the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First we go over the roof, the problem you’ve noticed and the conditions forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there is safe access.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
How to prepare
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Keep pets in another room
Getting a price
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Advice
Thermal roof survey in Ewshot
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. Thermal imaging is included in our Premium Survey, from £400. Conditions on the day affect the results, and the report explains how. We survey ceilings below the roof, loft conversions and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are ceilings that feel colder in places and damp around chimneys and parapets.
In a village or hamlet like Ewshot, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot 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.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Common questions in Ewshot
How do I find out if my home in Ewshot is listed?
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.
Is Ewshot in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Ewshot is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property.
What happens after the survey?
You receive the written report by email, with photographs and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
It’s a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. 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.
Do you use drones?
Where it’s applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are 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.
What can thermal imaging tell me about my roof?
The camera records how the surface temperature varies. Those patterns can point to trapped moisture, missing insulation or heat loss. Findings are checked with moisture readings.
How long is the visit?
It normally takes between one and two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.

Flying and imaging in Ewshot
About 1.9 miles south-east lies Farnham Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Ewshot has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Steep or complicated roofs are frequently hard to see from the ground, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
If you look after a building like St Nicholas' School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. For businesses in and around places like Hart Shopping Centre, big, flat commercial roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images help most.

What we’re asked to look at in Ewshot
Once a leak has been fixed, people often ask whether the roof is still wet. A thermal survey with moisture readings can show whether wet areas remain, given suitable conditions on the day.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Cold areas below the roof
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
For an older house near a landmark like St Mary's Church, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Before booking anyone
- What exactly goes into their report
- What the survey will not cover
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
Tips that help
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- File the images with your roof records
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
You can pass the report to a roofer so they can see where the problem areas seem to be. Each thermal image is matched to a normal photo, so the areas are easy to locate.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Early action keeps insulation from staying wet.
Why get it checked now?
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. For older village homes like those around Ewshot, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £400, including VAT.
Why us?
- More than 5,000 surveys completed
- An independent look at the roof
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Packages from £150, including VAT

Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:

- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
