Littlefield Green Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof in Littlefield Green, carried out by an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Cold areas below the roof
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
The survey, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a photo-illustrated written report, emailed to you. On timing, most surveys take an hour or two for a house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Cottages and farmhouses around Littlefield Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- You let us know about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Advice
Thermal roof survey in Littlefield Green: what you get
Thermal imaging is a useful tool, but it has limits. Sun, shade, reflective surfaces and wind can all change what the camera shows. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. The report is clear about what the images show and what they don’t. If a finding can’t be confirmed, the report suggests a next step. We survey ceilings below the roof, flat roofs and loft conversions, and common reasons people get in touch are areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions and moisture around outlets and upstands.
In a village or hamlet like Littlefield Green, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Weather and airspace are checked before the visit. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
The report explains the conditions on the day and how they affected the images. That way you know how much weight to give each finding.
Check that loft insulation is laid evenly and hasn’t been pushed aside. Insulation is frequently moved when people work in the roof space.
Prices for thermal roof surveys in Littlefield Green
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How big the roof is
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
Getting in touch
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. You will know the price before anything is booked.
When to book a survey in Littlefield Green
Flat roofs that have leaked for a while can have wet insulation under the covering. Owners want to know how far it has spread before deciding what to do. A thermal survey, checked with moisture readings, can give a much clearer picture.
It’s worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Stains that keep coming back
- Cold areas below the roof
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Flying and imaging in Littlefield Green
The wider area around Littlefield Green has a long history of building, with Dorney Court about 4.3 miles north-east. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Holyport College, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Littlefield Green
Is drone flying allowed in Littlefield Green?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. White Waltham Airfield is about 2 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour.
Is my home in Littlefield Green listed or in a conservation area?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. 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.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years, across London and South East England.
What does the report include?
A photo-illustrated written report, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations, by urgency where it matters. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
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 are allowed to reach, and the report makes that clear.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Once insulation under a membrane is wet, it tends to stay wet. Over time, it insulates less well and can harm the deck. Finding them early can mean a smaller job. In a place like Littlefield Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Our price is from £400, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.
