Thermal roof survey in Littleworth Corner
Thermal imaging is useful when a damp patch has no clear cause. Leaks frequently run along a roof before they appear on a ceiling, and temperature patterns can help us trace where it may have come from. The images are used alongside a visual inspection and moisture readings, so no conclusion rests on one method alone. We survey pitched roof slopes, insulated roof spaces and commercial roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are thin or uneven insulation in the roof and cold areas below the roof.
Somewhere as small as Littleworth Corner, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you cannot get from the ground. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

For landlords and managing agents
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out in order of urgency where relevant.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
What you can safely check yourself
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
You can learn a lot from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
What we cannot see
A survey is a proper look at the roof, but it can’t do everything. Its limits include:
- Proving moisture from the images alone
- An energy rating for the building
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer

How we price thermal roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The size of the roof
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
What to tell us when you contact us
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Your timetable, like an exchange date
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Booking is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or email us and give us some details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Littleworth Corner
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from the ground, drone photos and thermal images add detail. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Anne, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps. If you look after a building such as Dropmore Infant School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. Historic houses such as Cliveden, about 1.6 miles west, show how far back building around Littleworth Corner goes. A drone or thermal survey does not involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings.

Useful tips for Littleworth Corner property owners
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
You can pass the report to a roofer so they can see where the problem areas seem to be. Because the images are paired with photos, it is easy to find each area on the roof.
Clear outlets and gutters regularly, so water doesn’t sit on the roof. Less standing water means less chance of it getting under the covering.
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Cottages and farmhouses around Littleworth Corner often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
How to prepare
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Common questions in Littleworth Corner
Do you cover Littleworth Corner?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is Littleworth Corner within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
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.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we don’t carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. If we think you need an engineer, the report says so.
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. That’s why we check any patterns with moisture readings.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them.
What’s the best way to book?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
