Airspace, weather and Kingswood roofs
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up aerial photos and thermal images help. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Shop and office owners around The Ashley Centre may find that big, flat commercial roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help most. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Tadworth Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

About our thermal roof survey in Kingswood
Your report sets out the thermal images alongside ordinary photographs, so it’s easy to see which part of the roof each one shows. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. With a Premium Survey, the report reaches you the same day. You can talk the findings through with us at the in-person consultation. There is a 12-month follow-up as well. If you’ve noticed water getting in at parapets and stacks and leaks far from where the stain appears, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Even in a smaller place like Kingswood, there may be airfields or restrictions nearby, so every drone flight starts with a check of the Drone Safety Map. Open ground can mean stronger wind, which also affects whether a small drone can fly. Each flight is planned with neighbours’ privacy in mind, as well as the airspace and the wind.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

When to book a survey in Kingswood
Cold rooms under a roof, or high heating bills, lead some people to ask about heat loss. Missing or slipped insulation can stand out as temperature differences, especially when it’s warm inside and cold outside.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Andrew, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Are they insured for the work?
How the survey works
The visit typically starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect between one and two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. In a smaller place like Kingswood, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest.
- We talk through the roof, any damp or leaks, and the weather expected on the day.
- We check the roof from the ground, from windows and from the roof itself where it’s safe.
- 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.
- You get a report with thermal images, photographs and our recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Arrange a survey
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email to find out.

Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
- Tell us where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
- Check outlets after heavy rain
Where a pattern cannot be confirmed, the report says what could help, such as electronic leak detection or opening up a small area.
Keep outlets and gutters clear so water drains off the roof quickly. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.
For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.

Honest limits
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, so a survey has limits:
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
- A formal energy assessment
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Commercial roofs
- Loft conversions
- Insulated roof spaces
- Ceilings below the roof
- Flat roofs
- Pitched roof slopes
What a survey costs
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The roof’s overall size
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Booking your survey
There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to let us know:
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To arrange a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Kingswood questions
Do you cover Kingswood?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Kingswood?
Yes, Kingswood is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
Conditions on the day have a big effect on what the camera can show. Dry, calm weather after some sun gives the best chance of clear images. Our report notes the conditions and how they affected the findings.
How long will you be at the property?
Most surveys take an hour or two at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. We’ll confirm the timing when booking.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
