Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Hutton Mount
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. You also get a drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day. There is an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. To book, just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. If you’re worried about leaks that are hard to trace and damp patches with no obvious cause, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Places like Hutton Mount can be near small airfields or other airspace restrictions, so the Drone Safety Map is checked before any flight. Open ground can mean stronger wind, which also affects whether a small drone can fly, while thermal imaging also works best with little wind. Each flight is planned with neighbours’ privacy in mind, as well as the airspace and the wind.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

When you need someone else
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations
If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking. What our survey covers.

Thermal roof surveys in Hutton Mount: local notes
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Clay tiles and timber weatherboarding mark out many of the older buildings in Essex, and a good many post-war and modern estates besides. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
If you live in an older home near St Peter's, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. Take a building like St Joseph the Worker Catholic Primary School: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. With Ingatestone Hall about 3.4 miles north-east, the area around Hutton Mount has a long history. A drone or thermal survey doesn’t involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings.

Common questions in Hutton Mount
How do I find out if my home in Hutton Mount is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is Hutton Mount within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
On pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp patterns. Our report is clear about what can be read from them, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
It is a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. The results depend on conditions on the day. Where it can’t be pinned down, the report suggests a next step, such as electronic leak detection.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
What’s in the report?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. Points are put in order of urgency where relevant.
How soon will I get the report?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. Each one is emailed.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To discuss a number of properties, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the addresses.
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.
What you can safely check yourself
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
Prices for thermal roof surveys in Hutton Mount
Survey packages start from £150, including VAT. The price for your roof depends on:
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £400, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- What’s prompted the survey

How it works
On the day, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you need to know. After that, we check everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a survey in Hutton Mount, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there’s safe access, in the loft.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Getting ready for the survey
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

What happens if roof problems are left?
A damp patch that keeps coming back normally has a cause that hasn’t been found. Thermal imaging with moisture readings can help narrow it down, instead of trying repair after repair. On a bungalow or cottage around Hutton Mount, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Catching the cause first saves redecorating as well.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
