Thermal roof survey in Frensham: what you get
Our thermal survey records how the surface temperature varies across your roof. Those patterns can point to trapped moisture, missing insulation or heat escaping. The camera does not see water itself, so findings are checked with moisture readings. It comes as part of our Premium Survey, from £400. The report also notes the conditions on the day, since they affect what the camera can show. If you are worried about water getting in at parapets and stacks and wet areas near outlets and upstands, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on commercial roofs, insulated roof spaces and ceilings below the roof alike.
In a small place like Frensham, open ground can mean strong wind. High wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
Nothing in the report is left vague: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, along with how urgent it is.

What this survey can’t tell you
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Proving moisture from the images alone
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations
- A structural engineer’s assessment

Roof types and parts we check
- Flat roofs
- Commercial roofs
- Ceilings below the roof
- Insulated roof spaces
- Pitched roof slopes
- Loft conversions
What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The roof’s overall size
- House, block, shop or office
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Getting in touch
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or email us, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.
Drones, thermal imaging and Frensham roofs
With Farnham Castle about 3.6 miles north, Frensham sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary the Virgin, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps.
Frensham is about 3 miles south of Farnham, in Surrey. Surveys in Frensham work the same way as everywhere we cover: a proper look at whatever is safely visible, photos and a clear written report. Our area takes in places right across Surrey, from the larger towns to small villages. There’s also a page for Guildford.

Common questions in Frensham
Is my home in Frensham listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Frensham?
Yes, Frensham is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Frensham as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
It often helps show where to look. Patterns can suggest where trapped water has spread. It’s used alongside a close inspection and moisture readings because the camera cannot confirm water on its own.
What does the report include?
A written report with photos, covering the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are typically harder to read. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we combine it with an inspection from the loft where there is safe access.
Do I need to be at home?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when booking.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
The survey, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take between one and two hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as Frensham, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Before we arrive
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Arrange a survey
Getting a price is simple: just call 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we’ll suggest the right survey. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
Advice
Common roof problems in Frensham
Not every roof problem shows on the surface. Trapped moisture, missing insulation and hidden heat loss are three examples. A thermal camera adds another way of finding them.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Leaks that are hard to trace
If you look after a building like St Mary's CofE Aided Infant School, big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Will the report include photos?
- What experience they bring
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
Roof by roof
Pitched slate and tile roofs
On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s happening underneath. We back up what the camera shows with a look in the loft where we can.
Loft insulation
Loft insulation is easily disturbed when people store things or run cables. Thermal images can show where it has been pushed aside.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Frensham
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
If you own several properties, surveys can be booked for more than one address. To discuss a number of properties, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
