Different roofs, different checks
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
On larger commercial single-ply roofs, thermal imaging can help target moisture readings. It focuses the survey on the areas that matter.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
From inside the loft, the camera can help with damp around chimneys, valleys and roof windows. Findings are checked with moisture readings.
Thermal roof survey in Hyde End
Wet insulation under a flat roof covering holds heat for longer than dry. So a wet patch can show as a warmer or cooler area on the camera. It helps us see how far water may have spread under the covering, which is hard to judge by eye. Moisture readings are then used to check what the camera suggests. If you’re worried about damp patches with no obvious cause and thin or uneven insulation in the roof, we can find out what’s behind it.
Somewhere as small as Hyde End, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Questions from Hyde End
Do you cover smaller places like Hyde End?
Yes, Hyde End is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How do I find out if my home in Hyde End is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and details are available on request.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found, so you can see each point for yourself.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Does thermal imaging detect leaks directly?
Not directly. It shows temperature, and wet materials frequently behave differently from dry ones. We confirm what it suggests with moisture readings.
What do I do with the report?
You will get the report by email, with photographs and clear recommendations. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
What we do, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes an hour or two at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Hyde End, the journey is planned ahead of time: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- 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 is safe access, in the loft.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before the survey
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
Booking a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or email us and give us a few details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

Before and after the survey
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
You can pass the report to a roofer so they can see where the problem areas seem to be. Because the images are paired with photos, it is easy to find each area on the roof.
Clear outlets and gutters regularly, so water doesn’t sit on the roof. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.
