About our thermal roof survey in Hungerford Green
A thermal survey isn’t a quick fix for every roof problem. Sun, shade, reflective surfaces and wind can all change what the camera shows. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. Our report says plainly what the camera picked up and how sure we can be. Where something can’t be confirmed, we say what would help next. We survey pitched roof slopes, commercial roofs and insulated roof spaces, and the problems we are asked to look at most are patches of heat loss across the roof and leaks far from where the stain appears.
In a village or hamlet like Hungerford Green, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned in advance. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

DIY checks: what’s safe
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.

What happens on the day
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Rural addresses near Hungerford Green 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.
- We talk through the roof, any damp or leaks, and the weather expected on the day.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- A thermal camera records how the surface temperature varies across the roof.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Why act early in Hungerford Green
Repeated repairs that don’t stop a leak are a sign the source hasn’t been traced. Thermal imaging with moisture readings can help narrow it down, rather than more guesswork. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the price for your roof before booking.

Airspace, weather and Hungerford Green roofs
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. The wider area around Hungerford Green has a long history of building, with Basildon Park about 3.4 miles east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Downs School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. Take an older house close to St Mary's church: steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.

Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Our tips:
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- File the images with your roof records
- Check from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
Where a pattern can’t be confirmed, the report says what could help, for instance electronic leak detection or a roofer opening up a small section.
Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof in suitable weather.
Different roofs, different checks
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Felt and asphalt sit tight to the layers below, which frequently helps the camera pick up differences. Any patterns are checked with moisture readings.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Many single-ply and EPDM roofs sit on insulation boards. Wet boards can show as temperature differences on the images.
Common questions in Hungerford Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hungerford Green?
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 carry out roof surveys in Hungerford Green?
Yes, Hungerford Green is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access when you book.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can help, but the results are frequently less clear than on a flat roof. The air space under slates and tiles can hide patterns, so we combine it with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
What will the report tell me?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, with photos throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
What do I do with the report?
The report arrives by email. With Standard there’s a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation.
