Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Lower Titmore Green
Thermal imaging is a useful tool, but it has limits. 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 do not. If a finding can’t be confirmed, the report suggests a next step. If you are worried about moisture around outlets and upstands and possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering, we can find out what’s behind it.
In a small place like Lower Titmore Green, open ground can mean strong wind. Strong wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
We write the report in plain English, so you don’t need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photo where possible, with the urgent items made clear.

What a thermal roof survey looks like in Lower Titmore Green
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. Historic houses such as Knebworth House, about 3.5 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Lower Titmore Green goes. If you own one of the older houses, 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.
Take a building like Wymondley Junior Mixed and Infant School: big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Lower Titmore Green
Is Lower Titmore Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Lower Titmore Green is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and the South East. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and some details.
Do you cover smaller places like Lower Titmore Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but we do not provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
Will I get photos?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, which makes the report easy to follow.
How long is the visit?
It usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
Leave it or get it looked at?
A poorly insulated roof loses heat year after year. Thermal images can show where insulation is missing or has slipped, so improvements can go where they’re needed. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.

What we are asked to look at in Lower Titmore Green
Some owners book because the rooms under the roof feel cold. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated roof areas can show up on the camera, especially when it is warm inside and cold outside.
Problems we come across often include:
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary the Virgin, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT included in the price?
- What insurance they carry
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
Roof by roof
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP surfaces can be shiny, which affects thermal readings. We take that into account and check findings with moisture readings.
Loft insulation
In the roof space, the camera can pick up gaps and thin areas of insulation. We look where there is safe access.
What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes an hour or two at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. For a village or hamlet like Lower Titmore Green, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there’s safe access, in the loft.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Getting ready for the survey
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Let us know about parking near the property
Getting a price
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and the days you’d prefer.

Useful tips for Lower Titmore Green property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Tell us where and when you’ve seen damp or stains

Have small defects in the covering fixed early. Once water gets under a membrane, it can travel far before it appears inside.
