Thermal roof survey in George Green
Flat roofs over extensions, garages, flats and commercial buildings are where thermal imaging often helps most. Patterns can suggest where water is trapped under the covering. On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can hide what’s below, so we also look from the loft where we can reach it safely. We’re often asked to look into possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering and water getting in at parapets and stacks, across loft conversions, insulated roof spaces and flat roofs.
In a village or hamlet like George 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. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What a thermal roof survey doesn’t cover
Every survey has limits, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Proving moisture from the images alone
- An energy rating for the building
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.

Why it’s worth a survey now in George Green
Once insulation under a membrane is wet, it tends to stay wet. In time, it stops insulating properly and can damage the deck. Finding them early can mean a smaller job. For older village homes like those around George Green, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.

What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. What your roof costs depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Booking your survey
Some details help us recommend the right survey and price. When you contact us, let us know:
- Anything about access we should know
- The address and postcode of the property
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. A few suggestions:
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
If you’re buying, the report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. What you do with it is up to you, whether that’s asking for work or discussing the price.
Clear outlets and gutters regularly, so water doesn’t sit on the roof. Less standing water means less chance of it getting under the covering.
What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: 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.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Your questions about thermal roof surveys in George Green
Will you come out to George Green?
Yes. George Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Is my home in George Green listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What do I do with the report?
The report arrives by email. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?
On pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp patterns. We explain what the images can and cannot tell you, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 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?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photographs. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
The results depend on the weather. A dry surface, little wind and a sunny spell beforehand help most. Our report notes the conditions and how they affected the findings.
Airspace, weather and George Green roofs
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up photos from the air and thermal images help. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
With Windsor Castle about 3.3 miles south-west, the area around George Green has a long history. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from ground level, and a survey from the air or with a thermal camera does not touch the roof itself. Take a building like Wexham Court Primary School: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Parish Church of St Mary, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps.

What happens on the day
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit normally takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. In a small place like George Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there is safe access, in the loft.
- 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
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
