Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Leverton
A thermal survey is not a quick fix for every roof problem. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. Our report says plainly what the camera picked up and how sure we can be. If a finding cannot be confirmed, the report suggests a next step. We are often asked to look into missing or slipped insulation and patches of heat loss across the roof, on loft conversions, pitched roof slopes and insulated roof spaces.
Villages like Leverton frequently stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

How the survey works
We’ll ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Around Leverton, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking, as it helps us focus the survey.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Once insulation under a membrane is wet, it tends to stay wet. In time, it stops insulating properly and can damage the deck. Finding the wet areas sooner keeps the work smaller. In a place like Leverton, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.
Why us?
- Two decades and more of roof surveys
- An independent view of the roof
- Packages from £150, with VAT included
- 5,000+ roofs surveyed
Common questions in Leverton
Is Leverton in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Leverton is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is Leverton within the area you cover?
Yes, Leverton is covered. Our area covers London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What do I do with the report?
The report arrives by email. With Standard there is a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
Gaps and thin areas of insulation can show up on the camera. The difference is clearest when the building is heated and it’s colder outside. We look from the loft as well, where there is safe access.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.

Flying and imaging in Leverton
Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from ground level, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help. With Ramsbury Manor about 4.6 miles west, Leverton sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
If you look after a building such as Chilton Foliat Church of England Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps.

When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
- A structural engineer’s assessment
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations

Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Don’t switch the heating off before the visit
- Make sure the loft can be reached safely
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
Where a pattern cannot be confirmed, the report says what could help, like electronic leak detection or opening up a small area.
Deal with small splits and lifted seams promptly. Once water gets under a membrane, it can travel far before it appears inside.
Different roofs, different checks
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Damp at junctions can be hard to see by eye. We combine a close visual check with the thermal images.
Loft insulation
Loft insulation is easily disturbed when people store things or run cables. The camera can show where it no longer covers the ceiling.
