Thermal roof survey in Fifield
Your report sets out the thermal images alongside ordinary photos, 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. A follow-up 12 months later is included too. We’re frequently asked to look into damp patches with no obvious cause and water getting in at parapets and stacks, across loft conversions, pitched roof slopes and insulated roof spaces.
Some older homes in villages like Fifield are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it is 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.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly.

What we look for on each type of roof
Loft insulation
Loft insulation is easily disturbed when people store things or run cables. Thermal images can show where it has been pushed aside.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Junctions where roofs meet walls, parapets and valleys are common places for water to get in. Thermal imaging can help show damp patterns around them.
Common questions in Fifield
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Fifield?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover Fifield?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Fifield is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run seven days a week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Will the camera show exactly where the water is?
No, not on its own. It shows surface temperature, and wet areas can show up because they hold heat differently. That’s why we check any patterns with moisture readings.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
What will the report tell me?
A report with photos, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations, with the most urgent first where relevant. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
When to book a survey in Fifield
Buyers sometimes want more than a visual look at the roof. The Premium Survey brings thermal imaging and a drone inspection where it applies, with a report the same day, which helps when timescales are tight.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Cold areas below the roof
Take a building like Braywood CofE First School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

What affects the price in Fifield
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The size of the roof
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- What made you get in touch
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.
Drones, thermal imaging and Fifield roofs
The wider area around Fifield has a long history of building, with Dorney Court about 1.7 miles north-east. On older houses around here, roofs often 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. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
The streets around a church such as All Saints are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.

How it works
We work from the outside in: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. In total, it takes about one to two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Around Fifield, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. 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.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Preparing for the visit
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Tell us about parking before the day
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
