Froyle Thermal Roof Survey
An experienced roof surveyor for thermal roof surveys in Froyle. More than 20 years and over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.

How the survey changes by roof type
Loft insulation
Heat loss shows most clearly when it’s warm inside and colder outside. Our report notes how the conditions affected the images.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Felt and asphalt roofs often show wet areas as patches that differ from the rest. Moisture readings are used to check them.
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Froyle
Thermal imaging is a useful tool, but it has limits. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. The report is clear about what the images show and what they don’t. If a finding cannot be confirmed, the report suggests a next step. Typical surveys look at stains that keep coming back and areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions, across ceilings below the roof, flat roofs and pitched roof slopes.
In a village or hamlet like Froyle, 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, and the journey is planned in advance. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

FAQs for Froyle
Is Froyle within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How do I find out if my home in Froyle is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
Conditions on the day affect the results. 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.
How quickly is the report sent?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It’s a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and they go into the written report.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take about 1–2 hours on an ordinary house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Common roof problems in Froyle
Cold rooms under a roof, or high heating bills, lead some people to ask about heat loss. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated roof areas can show up on the camera, particularly when it’s warm inside and cold outside.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Cold areas below the roof
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
Around Froyle, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.
What to check before booking
- How soon the report will arrive
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. The survey normally takes an hour or two for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. In a small place like Froyle, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know about parking near the property

Drones, thermal imaging and Froyle roofs
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary of the Assumption, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

Why act early in Froyle
Heat lost through a roof costs money every winter. The camera can point to gaps and thin areas in the insulation, so you know where to put things right. Older and listed buildings around Froyle may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
