Thermal Roof Survey in Goldsworth Park
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof across Goldsworth Park, using drones and thermal imaging where it applies. Get in touch for a price.
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
What happens if roof problems are left?
A poorly insulated roof loses heat year after year. Thermal images can show where insulation is missing or has slipped, so you know where to put things right. In an older home around Goldsworth Park, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than the original defect.
Every price we give includes 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.

About our thermal roof survey in Goldsworth Park
What a thermal camera can show depends a lot on the weather. A sunny day before the survey, a dry roof surface and little wind all help. Rain, wind and cloud can all make the patterns weaker. We talk through the forecast as you book, and our report notes the conditions and how they affected what we saw. If you’re worried about areas of a flat roof that may hold water and stains that keep coming back, we can find out what’s behind it.
Around Goldsworth Park, older homes can have thin loft insulation and later additions with roofs of their own. A thermal image can show where heat is escaping or where moisture may be trapped, and drone photos show the roof surfaces themselves. Anything that looks like moisture is checked with a meter. Calm, dry weather suits both methods, so the date is set with the forecast in mind.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

Common questions in Goldsworth Park
Are there drone restrictions around Goldsworth Park?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Goldsworth Park is about 3 miles from Fairoaks Airport, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. A small drone can’t fly safely in high wind or heavy rain, and the rest of the survey does not depend on the drone.
Do you cover smaller places like Goldsworth Park?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?
It can show heat loss and some damp, but it has more limits there. We explain what the images can and cannot tell you, and back them up with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
How much does a thermal roof survey cost?
It comes with our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. That also includes a full inspection, a drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a same-day report.
How long does the survey take?
Most surveys take about one to two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. The report follows by email.
What does the report include?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. The most urgent items are made clear.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
Thermal imaging can help, alongside other checks. What it shows depends on the weather and the roof. Where it cannot be pinned down, the report suggests a next step, such as electronic leak detection.
Honest limits
It is a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Confirming water without moisture readings
- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check
- A formal energy assessment

Airspace, weather and Goldsworth Park roofs
The wider area around Goldsworth Park has a long history of building, with Botleys Mansion about 4.4 miles north-east. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. Fairoaks Airport is about 3 miles from Goldsworth Park. If the drone is used for your survey, the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions first.
Shop and office owners around The Peacocks may find that large commercial roofs are often easiest to see from above or with a thermal imager. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Goldsworth Primary School, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Andrew, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
Goldsworth Park is about 1 mile west of Woking, in Surrey. We visit Goldsworth Park as part of our work across Surrey, for houses, flats and commercial buildings. Our area takes in places right across Surrey.

How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It usually takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. A visit to a smaller place like Goldsworth Park is no different on the day: we look from ground level, from windows, from the loft and from the roof where it is safe. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there is safe access, in the loft.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Preparing for the visit
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Book a survey

Different roofs, different checks
Loft insulation
Heat loss shows most clearly when it’s warm inside and colder outside. We explain in the report how the conditions on the day affected what we saw.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Even on pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp. We explain what can and cannot be read from them.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Tips from our surveys
Small things make a difference. Our tips:
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- File the images with your roof records
- Check from ground level or a window, never by climbing
If the images suggest moisture that can’t be confirmed, we’ll say what would help next, for instance electronic leak detection or a roofer opening up a small section.
Check that loft insulation is laid evenly and hasn’t been pushed aside. Gaps frequently appear after work in the loft.
