About our thermal roof survey in Hudnall Corner
Thermal imaging can also show where a roof is losing heat. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves frequently show up as temperature differences. The difference shows most clearly when it is warm inside and cold outside. The report shows the images and explains what they may mean. It isn’t an energy rating or a heat loss calculation. If you’ve noticed heat escaping through the roof and damp that repairs haven’t cured, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Hudnall Corner are listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Common questions in Hudnall Corner
Is my home in Hudnall Corner listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Is Hudnall Corner in the area you cover?
Yes, Hudnall Corner is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Will the camera show exactly where the water is?
The camera doesn’t see water itself. Because wet insulation holds heat for longer, it can show as a different temperature, but we check each finding with moisture readings.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are normally harder to read. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we also look from the loft where it is safe.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We are roof surveyors, not structural engineers. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we’ll recommend one.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Hudnall Corner
Before replacing a large flat roof, it helps to know how much of it is actually wet. Images backed by moisture readings show where problems seem to be before you commit. For an older or listed building in a place like Hudnall Corner, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £400, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Checking the roof from ground level
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we check the roof.
How we price thermal roof surveys
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- The size of the roof
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. The price is always agreed first.
Getting in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- Anything about access we should know
- When you need the report by
- What’s prompted the survey
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you’re ready.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Hudnall Corner
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.

Do you need a thermal roof survey in Hudnall Corner?
Not every roof problem shows on the surface. Wet insulation, gaps in insulation and heat loss are frequently invisible from outside. Thermal imaging gives us another way to look for them.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Stains that keep coming back
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
For properties in and around Hudnall Corner, we look at whatever is safely visible and explain what we find.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Are they insured for the work?
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What happens after the report arrives
How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and make notes for the report. Most visits take between one and two hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Older rural homes like those around Hudnall Corner can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
How to prepare
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Let us know about parking before the day
Booking a survey
You can call us seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Thermal roof surveys in Hudnall Corner: local notes
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
