Thermal roof survey in Goose Green: what you get

Your report sets out the thermal images alongside ordinary photos, making it clear where on the roof each pattern is. 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. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. If you’re worried about ceilings that feel colder in places and damp that repairs haven’t cured, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.

Older buildings in small places like Goose Green may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.

It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys

Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:

  • How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
  • The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
  • Which survey package you book
  • Roof area

Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

Helping us price your survey

A little information up front helps. Please include:

  • Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
  • Where the property is, with the postcode
  • The style of property, from a terrace to a block
  • Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work

To get a price for thermal roof surveys in Goose Green, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. Some details about the property and the roof help us price the survey accurately.

What happens if roof problems are left?

Heat lost through a roof costs money every winter. Thermal images can show where insulation is missing or has slipped, so improvements can go where they’re needed. In a small place like Goose Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £400, including VAT.

Thermal roof surveys around Goose Green

If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. Your council and Historic England’s list will tell you where you stand, before anyone quotes for re-roofing.

If you look after a building such as Westfield Community Primary School, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.

When to book a survey in Goose Green

Some buyers want extra detail before they commit to a purchase. The Premium Survey brings thermal imaging and a drone inspection where applicable, with a report the same day, which helps when timescales are tight.

People usually book a survey after spotting one of these:

  • Damp that repairs haven’t cured
  • Damp around chimneys and parapets
  • Gaps in loft insulation
  • Wet areas near outlets and upstands

For any home in Goose Green, it is the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.

Before you book anyone

  • Which limits apply to the survey
  • Will the report include photos?
  • Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
  • What follow-up you get after the report

What a good roof survey covers

Roof by roof

Pitched slate and tile roofs

From inside the loft, the camera can help with damp around chimneys, valleys and roof windows. Findings are checked with moisture readings.

Loft insulation

Loft insulation is easily disturbed when people store things or run cables. Thermal images can show where it has been pushed aside.

Questions from Goose Green

Do you carry out roof surveys in Goose Green?

Yes, Goose Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Goose Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.

Does a conservation area affect roof work in Goose Green?

Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.

Will you fly a drone over my roof?

Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.

When does the report arrive?

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, ready to forward.

How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Goose Green?

Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.

Does the weather affect a thermal survey?

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.

Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?

No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.

Useful tips for Goose Green property owners

A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They apply to most roofs:

  • Tell us where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
  • Talk to us about the weather when booking
  • Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
  • Do not climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself

After the visit, we put the thermal images, photos and moisture readings into one report. Each image is explained in plain words, alongside what we recommend. With a Premium Survey, you get the report the same day.

Deal with small splits and lifted seams promptly. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.

How the survey works

Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can safely be seen, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take between one and two hours for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Older roofs in small places like Goose Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it is safe.

  1. We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
  2. The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
  3. Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there’s safe access, in the loft.
  4. We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
  5. Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
  • Let us know about parking near the property
  • Keep pets out of the way during the survey

Book a survey

Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
