About our thermal roof survey in Lacey Green
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. You also get a drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a report on the same day. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. Typical surveys look at areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions and gaps in loft insulation, on commercial roofs, flat roofs and ceilings below the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Lacey Green may be listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

What we cannot see
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
- Confirming water without moisture readings

DIY checks: what’s safe
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That’s where a survey comes in.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes between one and two hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. For a village or hamlet like Lacey Green, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- First we go over the roof, the problem you’ve noticed and the conditions forecast for the visit.
- We check the roof from ground level, from windows and from the roof itself where it is safe.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there is safe access.
- You get a report with thermal images, photographs and our recommendations.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent

Advice
Lacey Green questions
Do you cover Lacey Green?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Lacey Green as anywhere else.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Lacey Green?
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.
Will the camera show exactly where the water is?
No, not on its own. It shows surface temperature, and wet areas can show up because they hold heat differently. We confirm what it suggests with moisture readings.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We’re roof surveyors, not structural engineers, and it does not include calculations. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we’ll recommend one.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
What will the report tell me?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photos throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes, plenty. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible, which makes the report easy to follow.
Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Lacey Green
Once a leak has been fixed, people frequently ask whether the roof is still wet. Thermal images and moisture readings can suggest whether moisture is still trapped, given suitable conditions on the day.
Common reasons to book include:
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Cold areas below the roof
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
Anyone responsible for a site like St John's Church of England Primary School will know that big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.
Before you book anyone
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
Flying and imaging in Lacey Green
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. About 3.8 miles south lies West Wycombe Park House, a reminder of how long the area around Lacey Green has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
The streets around a church like Church of St John the Evangelist are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps.
