Thermal imaging roof survey in Keeper's Corner, Surrey
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof for Keeper's Corner, from an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Thermal roof survey in Keeper's Corner
Flat roofs over extensions, garages, flats and commercial buildings are where thermal imaging often helps most. It can show patterns that point to trapped moisture under the membrane. Pitched roofs with slates or tiles are often harder to read, because of the air space beneath, so we also look from the loft where we can reach it safely. If you’re worried about missing or slipped insulation and water that travels before it shows, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Keeper's Corner, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you cannot get from ground level. Weather and airspace are checked before the visit. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
After the visit, you get a written report with photos, emailed to you. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Before replacing a large flat roof, it helps to know how much of it is actually wet. Thermal imaging, checked with moisture readings, gives a clearer picture before you spend. In a place like Keeper's Corner, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Our price is from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan, with the most urgent items set out first.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
What we do, step by step
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Around Keeper's Corner, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- You let us know about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Getting ready for the survey
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Find any records of previous roof work
How to book
We survey roofs on any day of the week. To arrange a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Before and after the survey
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
- Keep a record of when stains appear
Buyers can use the findings when talking to the seller or agent. It is your decision how to use it, whether you ask for work before completion or discuss the price.
Have small defects in the covering fixed early. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.
FAQs for Keeper's Corner
Are there drone restrictions around Keeper's Corner?
Typically it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Keeper's Corner is about 1 mile from the edge of the flight restriction zone around Gatwick Airport. The exact boundary is checked for each address before any flight, and a roof inside it needs permission before we fly. High wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying, and the rest of the survey does not depend on the drone.
How do I find out if my home in Keeper's Corner is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
How many surveys have you done?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
Thermal images can suggest where heat is escaping and where insulation may be missing. The survey is not an energy rating or a heat loss calculation, but the report shows where to look more closely.
Is Keeper's Corner in your area?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, Keeper's Corner included.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when you book.
Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Keeper's Corner
Cold rooms under a roof, or high heating bills, lead some people to ask about heat loss. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated roof areas can show up on the camera, particularly when there’s a clear difference between inside and outside.
We are often asked to look at:
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Stains that keep coming back
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
Anyone responsible for a site like Copthorne CofE Junior School will know that big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.
Before you book anyone
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Is VAT included in the price?
