- Insulation values or heat loss calculations
- Confirming water without moisture readings

Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hedgerley Green
Your report sets out the thermal images alongside ordinary photos, making it clear where on the roof each pattern is. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. Premium reports are sent the same day. You can talk the findings through with us at the in-person consultation. A follow-up 12 months later is included too. We survey flat roofs, pitched roof slopes and ceilings below the roof, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks that are hard to trace and possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering.
In a village or hamlet like Hedgerley Green, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from ground level. Weather and airspace are checked before the visit, and the journey is planned beforehand. 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. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Flying and imaging in Hedgerley Green
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Gayhurst School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.

Useful tips for Hedgerley Green property owners
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- File the images with your roof records
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
We note the weather and surface conditions, and how they may have affected the results. It helps you judge how firm each finding is.
Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof in suitable weather.

When to book a survey in Hedgerley Green
Some buyers want extra detail before they commit to a purchase. A Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and a same-day report, which suits a purchase that is moving quickly.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
Cliveden lies about 4.5 miles west, so building around Hedgerley Green goes back a long way. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from the ground, and a survey from above or with a thermal imager does not touch the roof itself.
Before booking any roof surveyor

- When you’ll get the report
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Different roofs, different checks
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP roofs are laid over timber boards, so trapped moisture can affect the deck. The camera can help show where to look.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Thin membranes can show patterns from the layers beneath. Shiny surfaces can reflect heat, so we take care reading the images.
Hedgerley Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Hedgerley Green?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Hedgerley Green is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
Do you cover smaller places like Hedgerley Green?
Yes, Hedgerley Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
It often helps show where to look. Water can travel under a covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help follow it. We combine it with a visual inspection and moisture readings because the camera can’t confirm water on its own.
How experienced are you?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
The camera can point to heat loss and gaps in insulation. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations, but the images show where improvements may help.
What we do, step by step
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings in a report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, it typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere as small as Hedgerley Green, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
How to prepare
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
