Thermal roof survey in Green Cross
Thermal imaging can also show where a roof is losing heat. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated areas can stand out on the images. It works best when the building is heated and it is colder outside. Our report points out what the images suggest and where to look more closely. It isn’t an energy rating or a heat loss calculation. Typical surveys look at gaps in loft insulation and cold areas below the roof, across loft conversions, commercial roofs and flat roofs.
In a village or hamlet like Green Cross, 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 written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Heat lost through a roof costs money every winter. The camera can point to gaps and thin areas in the insulation, so improvements can go where they’re needed. For an older or listed building in a place like Green Cross, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Why us?

Roof by roof
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Problems where roof slopes and walls meet are frequently hidden. We combine a close visual check with the thermal images.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Built-up felt and asphalt roofs can hide trapped water for a long time. Thermal imaging helps suggest where it is, when the conditions allow.
Flying and imaging in Green Cross
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Many roofs like these can’t be judged properly from the pavement, and that’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
If you live in an older home near St John the Evangelist, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.

Common roof problems in Green Cross
After a long-running leak, insulation under a flat roof can stay wet. Knowing how much of the roof is affected helps decide between a local repair and more. Thermal images and moisture readings together can show the likely extent.
Common reasons to book include:
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
Anyone responsible for a site like St John's CofE Aided Infant School will know that big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- What insurance they carry
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Check the loft can be reached safely
Where a pattern can’t be confirmed, the report says what could help, such as electronic leak detection or opening up a small area.
Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof in suitable weather.
Green Cross questions
Is Green Cross within the area you cover?
Yes, Green Cross is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Is my home in Green Cross listed or in a conservation area?
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 I get photos?
Yes. Photographs are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report.
Does this replace a RICS home 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.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report, and it doesn’t include calculations. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we’ll recommend one.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
How it works
A survey visit follows a simple order: we hear what you’ve seen, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as Green Cross, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
