Thermal imaging roof survey in Highmoor Cross, Oxfordshire
We carry out thermal roof surveys in Highmoor Cross and the rest of Oxfordshire. Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Heat escaping through the roof
Prices for thermal roof surveys in Highmoor Cross
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
What to let us know when you get in touch
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Where the property is, with the postcode
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. You will know the price before anything is booked.
About our thermal roof survey in Highmoor Cross
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. It also includes a drone inspection where applicable, a structural analysis and a same-day report. There is an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. To book, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. If you’ve noticed heat escaping through the roof and wet areas near outlets and upstands, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on commercial roofs, ceilings below the roof and loft conversions alike.
Some older homes in villages like Highmoor Cross are listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, so it’s a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. The survey typically takes about 1–2 hours at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Rural addresses near Highmoor Cross can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
How to prepare

- Find any records of previous roof work

When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
- A formal energy assessment
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer

Drones, thermal imaging and Highmoor Cross roofs
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Greys Court, about 1.6 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Highmoor Cross. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from ground level, and a survey by drone or thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof itself. The streets around a church like Church of St Paul are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.

How the survey changes by roof type
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP roofs are laid over timber boards, so trapped moisture can affect the deck. Thermal imaging can suggest where that may be happening.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Felt and asphalt sit tight to the layers below, which often helps the camera pick up differences. We confirm any patterns with moisture readings.
For landlords and managing agents
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, with the most urgent items set out first.
Landlords, agents and building managers in Highmoor Cross and across Oxfordshire can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What you can safely check yourself
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
FAQs for Highmoor Cross
Is my home in Highmoor Cross listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover Highmoor Cross?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Highmoor Cross is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
How fast do I get the report?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We check everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
