Thermal roof surveys in Lower Green

Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Lower Green

A thermal survey isn’t 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. The report is clear about what the images show and what they don’t. Where something can’t be confirmed, we say what would help next. We survey loft conversions, commercial roofs and insulated roof spaces, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are water getting in at parapets and stacks and heat escaping through the roof.

Somewhere as small as Lower Green, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from the ground. Weather and airspace are checked ahead of the visit. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.

The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

When you need someone else

Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:

  • Proving moisture from the images alone
  • Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
  • What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up

If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will recommend the right survey. The full list of what we check.

What we check

  • Flat roofs
  • Pitched roof slopes
  • Insulated roof spaces
  • Commercial roofs
  • Ceilings below the roof
  • Loft conversions

How the survey changes by roof type

Pitched slate and tile roofs

From inside the loft, the camera can help with damp around chimneys, valleys and roof windows. We check any patterns with moisture readings.

Felt and asphalt flat roofs

Built-up felt and asphalt roofs can hide trapped water for a long time. Thermal imaging helps suggest where it is, when the conditions allow.

Why get it checked now?

The longer moisture sits in a roof, the more it can affect timbers and finishes below. Looking now, while the damage may still be limited, keeps more options open. For an older or listed building in a place like Lower Green, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

Our price is from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and the package you choose.

Why us?

  • We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
  • 5,000+ surveys completed

How we price thermal roof surveys

Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:

  • Which survey package you book
  • How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
  • The use of thermal imaging or a drone
  • House, block, shop or office

Prices start from £400, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, with VAT included, and we can help you choose.

Booking your survey

What helps most when you contact us:

  • Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
  • The style of property, from a terrace to a block
  • Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
  • What’s prompted the survey

Once you know what you need, ring 07833 053749 or email us. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.

Thermal roof surveys around Lower Green

Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. With Hampton Court Palace about 1.9 miles north-east, Lower Green sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.

Take a building like Cranmere Primary School: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. For businesses in and around places such as Bentall Centre, big, flat commercial roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images help most. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

Lower Green questions

Do you carry out roof surveys in Lower Green?

Yes, Lower Green is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.

Does a conservation area affect roof work in Lower Green?

Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.

How many surveys have you done?

Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys.

How much does a thermal roof survey cost?

It is part of the Premium Survey, from £400. An in-person consultation and a follow-up 12 months later are included too. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size.

Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?

Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.

Are you insured?

Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you when you book.

How the survey works

When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where applicable. Most surveys take about 1–2 hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as Lower Green, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.

  1. We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
  2. The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
  3. A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
  4. Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
  5. You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.

Getting ready for the survey

  • Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
  • Let us know about parking near the property
  • Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
