Drones, thermal imaging and Hunt's Green roofs
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from ground level, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lee Common Church of England School, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once. Cholesbury Manor House lies about 2.9 miles north-east, so building around Hunt's Green goes back a long way. A drone or thermal survey doesn’t involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings.
Hunt's Green is about 4 miles west of Chesham, in Buckinghamshire. Bookings from Hunt's Green are handled just like any other: a call or an email, a price, then a date.

How a thermal roof survey works in Hunt's Green
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. It also includes a drone inspection where it applies, 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 call 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 damp around chimneys and parapets and possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Hunt's 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. Weather and airspace are checked before the visit, and the journey is planned ahead of time. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
Report times depend on the survey you book: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Why act early in Hunt's 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, instead of trying repair after repair. For an older or listed building in a place like Hunt's Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
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.

When you need someone else
It helps to know what a survey won’t do before you book:
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
- The condition of timbers we cannot see
- A structural engineer’s assessment
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will recommend the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
What we check
- Commercial roofs
- Pitched roof slopes
- Loft conversions
- Flat roofs
- Insulated roof spaces

DIY checks: what’s safe
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.
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That is where a survey comes in.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Landlords and agents in Hunt's Green book surveys as well as householders. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
Common roof problems in Hunt's Green
Buyers sometimes want more than a visual look at the roof. The Premium Survey brings thermal imaging and a drone inspection where applicable, with a report the same day, which suits a purchase that is moving quickly.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Cold areas below the roof
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
The streets around a church like Old Church of St John the Baptist are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Their insurance cover
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
Hunt's Green: your questions answered
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Hunt's Green?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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 Hunt's Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Hunt's Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Hunt's Green as anywhere else.
When does the report arrive?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We’re roof surveyors, not structural engineers, and it doesn’t include calculations. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
What happens next?
You will receive the report by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
Does the weather affect a thermal survey?
Conditions on the day affect the results. A sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air all help. Rain, wind and heavy cloud can weaken the patterns, so we discuss the forecast when booking.
How much does a thermal roof survey cost?
It’s part of the Premium Survey, from £400. You also get an in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up. For bigger commercial roofs, we quote on size.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes an hour or two at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. In a hamlet or village like Hunt's Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You let us know 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.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
Getting a price
