Thermal imaging roof survey in Langley, Slough
A careful look at the roof at your property in Langley, with photos and a written report.
- Cold areas below the roof
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Leaks that are hard to trace
How a thermal roof survey works in Langley
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’s an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. To book, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We survey pitched roof slopes, ceilings below the roof and flat roofs, and people most frequently book us about damp around roof outlets and upstands and stains that keep coming back.
Even in a smaller place like Langley, there may be airfields or restrictions nearby, so every drone flight starts with a check of the Drone Safety Map. Exposed sites can be windy, and a small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind. Each flight is planned with neighbours’ privacy in mind, as well as the airspace and the wind.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. Anything out of sight on the day is listed as such.

When to book a survey in Langley
After a repair, some owners want to know whether the roof has dried out. A thermal survey with moisture readings can show whether wet areas remain, given suitable conditions on the day.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Stains that keep coming back
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Langley Academy Primary, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- What the report includes, and whether it has photos
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- What insurance they carry
Useful tips for Langley property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- Don’t switch the heating off before the visit
- Check outlets after heavy rain
Many people send the report to roofers, who can then quote for the areas shown. Each thermal image is matched to a normal photo, so the areas are easy to locate.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
Different roofs, different checks
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP roofs are laid over timber boards, so trapped moisture can affect the deck. Thermal imaging can suggest where that may be happening.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
When valley or parapet gutters overflow, water can get into walls and ceilings. We use the camera and moisture readings to help follow it.
Common questions in Langley
Are there drone restrictions around Langley?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Langley is about 2 miles from the edge of the flight restriction zone around Heathrow Airport. We check the exact boundary for the address before flying, and if the roof falls inside it, we ask for permission first. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain.
Is Langley within the area you cover?
Yes, Langley is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and the report uses them to show each finding alongside our recommendations.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Langley?
To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling are not something we do. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
How fast do I get the report?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
What we do, step by step
We check the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey usually takes about 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. With a bit of garden around a house, as there often is around Langley, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Let us know if any side is fenced off or hard to reach. Inside, the loft is looked at where it can be reached safely.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- 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
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Honest limits
We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:
- A structural engineer’s assessment
- A formal energy assessment
- The condition of timbers we cannot see
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. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What we look at
- Insulated roof spaces
- Flat roofs
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings below the roof
- Commercial roofs
- Pitched roof slopes
Why get it checked now?
Repeated repairs that don’t stop a leak are a sign the source hasn’t been traced. Combining the camera with moisture readings can help find it, instead of trying repair after repair. Arranging work in a smaller place like Langley is easier with notice than in an emergency. A survey gives you that notice.
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.
