Thermal Roof Survey in Linchmere
Thermal roof surveys across Linchmere, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. Every survey ends with a written report and photographs.
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
Common roof problems in Linchmere
Building owners and managing agents use thermal surveys to plan work on larger flat roofs. It can suggest which areas may be wet and which seem dry, so we know where to take moisture readings.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Cold areas below the roof
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
Anyone responsible for a site like Woolmer Hill School will know that a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
Before you book anyone
- Are they insured for the work?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- How soon the report will arrive
Thermal roof survey in Linchmere: what you get
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. On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can hide what’s below, so we also look from the loft where we can reach it safely. Common reasons to book are cold spots on ceilings under the roof and possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering, on pitched roof slopes, flat roofs and loft conversions.
Some older homes in villages like Linchmere are listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

What a thermal roof survey looks like in Linchmere
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail. What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, ideally before any re-roofing is planned.
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Peter, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.

What we cannot see
A survey is a close look at the roof, but it cannot do everything. The main limits are:
- A structural engineer’s assessment
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
- A formal energy assessment

What this survey covers
- Commercial roofs
- Ceilings below the roof
- Pitched roof slopes
- Loft conversions
- Insulated roof spaces
- Flat roofs
Different roofs, different checks
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Thermal images of a pitched roof can still show heat loss patterns and some damp areas. We explain what can and cannot be read from them.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Water often gets in where roofs meet walls, parapets or valley gutters. Thermal imaging can help show damp patterns around them.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Thermal images can suggest the extent of wet areas without cutting into the roof. It helps when deciding whether to patch an area or replace the roof. Older and listed buildings around Linchmere may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
What you get with us
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Packages from £150, with VAT included
- Visits on any day of the week
- An independent view of the roof
Linchmere questions
How do I find out if my home in Linchmere is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you cover smaller places like Linchmere?
Yes, Linchmere 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.
How do I book a survey in Linchmere?
To book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form 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 aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
It can help narrow down where water may be getting in. Water can travel under a covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help follow it. We combine it with a visual inspection and moisture readings because the camera can’t confirm water on its own.
Are you insured?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
What does a thermal roof survey show?
The images show how warm or cool each part of the surface is. Unusual patterns can point to trapped water, gaps in insulation or heat escaping, and we check them with moisture readings.
Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes between one and two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Around Linchmere, 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. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Before the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Tell us where we can park nearby
