What a thermal roof survey looks like in Holt Pound
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Historic houses such as Farnham Castle, about 2.7 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Holt Pound goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take a building like Rowledge Church of England Controlled Primary School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Holt Pound is about 2 miles south-west of Farnham, in Surrey. Holt Pound gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a careful inspection, photos and a written report. Across Surrey, we cover Holt Pound. There’s also a page for Guildford.

About our thermal roof survey in Holt Pound
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. You also get a drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day. There’s an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. To book, just ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. If you’ve noticed areas of a flat roof that may hold water and damp patches with no obvious cause, we can find out what’s behind it.
Some older homes in villages like Holt Pound are listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, so it is 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.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

How the survey changes by roof type
GRP fibreglass roofs
Water under a GRP roof can reach the timber deck. Thermal imaging can suggest where that may be happening.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Because these membranes are thin, patterns from below often show. Reflections from shiny surfaces can affect readings, which we allow for.
Prices for thermal roof surveys in Holt Pound
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Which survey package you book
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
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.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- When you need the report by
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Holt Pound
Cold rooms under a roof, or high heating bills, lead some people to ask about heat loss. Missing or slipped insulation can stand out as temperature differences, particularly when there’s a clear difference between inside and outside.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Water that travels before it shows
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
Take an older house close to Saint James: tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What insurance they carry
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether you get a written report with photos
Honest limits
A survey is a careful look at the roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- A formal energy assessment
- A structural engineer’s assessment

Holt Pound questions
Is Holt Pound within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Is my home in Holt Pound listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
What’s in the report?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photographs. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. We check the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
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 report shows where to look more closely.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
What happens next?
The report arrives by email. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Tips from our surveys
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
- File the images with your roof records
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
You can pass the report to a roofer so they can see where the problem areas seem to be. Each thermal image is matched to a normal photo, so the areas are easy to locate.
Check loft insulation covers the whole area and hasn’t been disturbed. Insulation is often moved when people work in the roof space.
The survey, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. If you have questions on the day, just ask. In a small place like Holt Pound, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- 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.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
