Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Farley Green
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, so it is easy to see which part of the roof each one shows. We explain what each pattern may mean, what the moisture readings found and what we recommend. Premium reports are sent the same day. You can talk the findings through with us at the in-person consultation. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. Common reasons to book are wet areas near outlets and upstands and patches of heat loss across the roof, across flat roofs, loft conversions and commercial roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Farley Green, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned ahead of time. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
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.

Thermal roof surveys around Farley Green
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
Chilworth Manor, about 2.7 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Farley Green. Aerial photos and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it. Take an older house close to St Michael: steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Farley Green
Trapped water can harm decks, timbers and ceilings the longer it stays. Looking now, while the damage may still be limited, keeps more options open. Around Farley Green, older homes often have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.

Landlords, agents and block managers in Farley Green
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
How the survey changes by roof type
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
On felt and asphalt flat roofs, wet insulation can show as a temperature difference across the surface. Moisture readings are used to check them.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
From inside the loft, the camera can help with damp around chimneys, valleys and roof windows. We check any patterns with moisture readings.
DIY checks: what’s safe
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Questions from Farley Green
Do you carry out roof surveys in Farley Green?
Yes, Farley Green is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Farley Green?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
It is a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. The results depend on conditions on the day. Where it cannot be pinned down, the report suggests a next step, such as electronic leak detection.
Does the weather affect a thermal survey?
The results depend on the weather. Dry, calm weather after some sun gives the best chance of clear images. We record the conditions in the report, so you know how much weight to give the images.
What happens after the survey?
The report arrives by email. With Standard there’s a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs like sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof; most visits take about one to two hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely. Most surveys take about one to two hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. Rural addresses near Farley Green 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.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Find any records of previous roof work

Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or email us. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
Advice
What this survey can’t tell you
A survey is a proper look at the roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- The condition of timbers we cannot see
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will recommend the right survey before you book. What a survey covers and does not.
