What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, inc. VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Roof area
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
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
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It’s useful to include:
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof

Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Glebe Farm
A thermal survey can point to places where heat is escaping through the roof. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated areas can stand out on the images. It works best when the building is heated and it’s colder outside. The report shows the images and explains what they may mean. It is not an energy rating or a heat loss calculation. If you’ve noticed possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering and water that travels before it shows, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Places like Glebe Farm can be near small airfields or other airspace restrictions, so the Drone Safety Map is checked before any flight. Open ground can mean stronger wind, which also affects whether a small drone can fly. Neighbours’ privacy is part of planning each flight, along with the airspace and the weather.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Why act early in Glebe Farm
Repeated repairs that do not stop a leak are a sign the source hasn’t been traced. Thermal imaging with moisture readings can help narrow it down, instead of trying repair after repair. Arranging work in a smaller place like Glebe Farm is easier with notice than in an emergency. Knowing early gives you time to get the right people in.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.

Drones, thermal imaging and Glebe Farm roofs
With Bletchley Park about 3.9 miles south-west, Glebe Farm sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. Shop and office owners around Central Milton Keynes Shopping Centre may find that a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it.
Glebe Farm is about 4 miles north-east of Bletchley, in Milton Keynes. We provide thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Glebe Farm and nearby. Glebe Farm is one of the places in Milton Keynes where we work for thermal roof surveys.
We cover every part of the MK17, MK7 and MK10 postcode area for thermal roof surveys and the streets around it. Local streets include Garner Lane, Walton Road and Newport Road, and we cover them all. Nearby, we also carry out thermal roof surveys in Wavendon (1 mile south), Kingston (1 mile north-west), Lower End (1 mile east), Woburn Sands (1 mile south-east) and Salford (2 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Milton Keynes (4 miles west), Bletchley (4 miles south-west), Newport Pagnell (4 miles north-west), Bletchley and Fenny Stratford (4 miles south-west), Furzton (4 miles south-west) and Whitehouse (6 miles west).

Other landmarks nearby include Rugemont Castle (3.5 miles east) and Milton Keynes University Hospital (2.9 miles west). The countryside around Glebe Farm includes Blue Lagoon Park and Caldecotte Lake.
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. The survey itself takes about one to two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. In a smaller place like Glebe Farm, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Getting ready for the survey
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Glebe Farm: your questions answered
Is Glebe Farm within the area you cover?
Yes, Glebe Farm is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Do you cover Glebe Farm?
Yes, Glebe Farm is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it isn’t a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How does a thermal imaging roof survey work?
A thermal camera shows differences in surface temperature. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or heat escaping. Findings are checked with moisture readings.
How quickly is the report sent?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Glebe Farm
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. Recommendations are set out with the most urgent first where relevant.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.

Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Don’t switch the heating off ahead of the visit
If you are 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 is asking for work or discussing the price.
Make sure loft insulation covers the whole area and hasn’t been disturbed. Insulation is frequently moved when people work in the roof space.
When to book a survey in Glebe Farm
Flat roofs that have leaked for a while can have wet insulation under the covering. Owners want to know how far it has spread before deciding what to do. A thermal survey, checked with moisture readings, can give a much clearer picture.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Mary's Wavendon CofE Primary, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
Choosing a roof surveyor

- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
