Thermal Roof Survey in Frimley Green
Thermal roof surveys around Frimley Green, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
What we look for on each type of roof
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
On larger commercial single-ply roofs, thermal imaging can help target moisture readings. That makes the survey more focused.
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP surfaces can be shiny, which affects thermal readings. We take that into account and check findings with moisture readings.
Thermal roof survey in Frimley Green: what you get
Your report sets out the thermal images alongside ordinary photographs, so it’s 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. With a Premium Survey, the report reaches you 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 survey pitched roof slopes, loft conversions and commercial roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are patches of heat loss across the roof and damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys.
Older cottages and houses around Frimley Green may have little insulation, and some have extensions with their own roofs. Thermal patterns and close-up photos together give a fuller picture of the roof. Findings are checked with moisture readings where needed. Calm, dry weather suits both methods, so the date is set with the forecast in mind.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Flying and imaging in Frimley Green
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from the ground, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Andrew are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. If you look after a building such as Cross Farm Infant School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

The survey, step by step
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. In a smaller place like Frimley Green, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from ground level and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- You tell us 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.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
How to prepare
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
How to book
Most bookings start with a short call: phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form, and we will ask about the building and what you need. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Frimley Green questions
Is drone flying allowed in Frimley Green?
That depends on where the roof is and on the weather. Farnborough Airport is about 3 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. A small drone can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
Do you cover smaller places like Frimley Green?
Yes. Frimley Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
What do I do with the report?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
How does a thermal imaging roof survey work?
The camera records how the surface temperature varies. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or heat escaping. Findings are checked with moisture readings.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
Thermal images can suggest where heat is escaping and where insulation may be missing. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations, but the report shows where to look more closely.
How do I book a survey in Frimley Green?
The quickest way is to call 07833 053749 or send us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we’ll suggest the right survey. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
The weather makes a real difference. It works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind. Rain, wind and heavy cloud can weaken the patterns, so we discuss the forecast when booking.
What we can’t see
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
- Proving moisture from the images alone
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Ceilings below the roof
- Loft conversions
- Commercial roofs
- Pitched roof slopes
- Flat roofs
- Insulated roof spaces
Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Don’t go up yourself.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Useful tips for Frimley Green property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Tell us where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
Where a pattern cannot be confirmed, the report says what could help, such as electronic leak detection or opening up a small area.
Have small defects in the covering fixed early. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.

Why it is worth a survey now in Frimley 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 Frimley Green, leaves and moss in gutters lead to overflowing water and damp walls, particularly where trees overhang. It’s easy to sort the cause early and slow to dry a damp wall.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t 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.
