FAQs for Grandpont
Do you cover Grandpont?
Yes, Grandpont is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
Is Grandpont within the area you cover?
Yes, Grandpont is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Does the weather affect a thermal survey?
The results depend on the weather. Dry, calm weather after some sun gives the best chance of clear images. We record the conditions in the report, so you know how much weight to give the images.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
The camera can point to heat loss and gaps in insulation. The survey isn’t an energy rating or a heat loss calculation, but the images show where improvements may help.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
What happens after the survey?
The report arrives by email, with photos and clear recommendations. With Standard there is a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation.
Thermal roof survey in Grandpont
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. You also get a drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a report on the same day. There is an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. Typical surveys look at wet areas near outlets and upstands and damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys, on commercial roofs, flat roofs and insulated roof spaces.
Places like Grandpont can be near small airfields or other airspace restrictions, so every drone flight starts with a check of the Drone Safety Map. Exposed sites can be windy, and a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind. Neighbours’ privacy is part of planning each flight, along with the airspace and the weather.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

When to book a survey in Grandpont
After a repair, some owners want to know whether the roof has dried out. Thermal images and moisture readings can suggest whether moisture is still trapped, given suitable conditions on the day.
Problems we come across often include:
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
Hotels and guest houses near Grandpont can’t easily close rooms for a leak, so it is worth knowing the roof’s condition.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- Are they insured for the work?
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- Whether VAT is added on top
Thermal roof surveys around Grandpont
Holywell Manor, about 1 mile north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Grandpont. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you live in an older home near St Matthew's, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.

What we do, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can safely be seen is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take an hour or two for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Homes around Grandpont often have gardens on more than one side, which gives us room to step back and see the roof. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. The loft, where there is safe access, completes the picture.
- First we go over the roof, the problem you’ve noticed and the conditions forecast for the visit.
- We check the roof from the ground, from windows and from the roof itself where it’s safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there’s safe access.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
- Heat the home normally on the days before
After the visit, we put the thermal images, photographs and moisture readings into one report. We explain what each image may mean, with our recommendations. With a Premium Survey, you get the report the same day.
Watch for new damp patches on ceilings beneath the roof. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
What affects the price in Grandpont
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- How big the roof is

- Basic, Standard or Premium
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you’d like to know.

What you can safely check yourself
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
