Thermal imaging roof survey in Loxhill, Surrey
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof around Loxhill, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
What a thermal roof survey doesn’t cover
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:
- The condition of timbers we can’t see
- Confirming water without moisture readings
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer

Thermal roof survey in Loxhill
A thermal imaging roof survey uses a thermal camera to show differences in surface temperature across a roof. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or places where heat is getting out. The camera doesn’t see water itself, so we check what it shows with moisture readings. Thermal imaging is included in our Premium Survey, from £400. The report also notes the conditions on the day, since they affect what the camera can show. We survey loft conversions, flat roofs and pitched roof slopes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are patches of heat loss across the roof and cold spots on ceilings under the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Loxhill, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t 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.
We write the report in plain English, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Loxhill questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Loxhill?
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.
Is Loxhill within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
How fast do I get the report?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can help, but the results are often less clear than on a flat roof. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we combine it with an inspection from the loft where there is safe access.
Is thermal imaging included in your surveys?
Thermal imaging is included in our Premium Survey, from £400. The Premium Survey also covers a full inspection, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a report on the same day.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Yes, where it’s applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
What we do, step by step
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the loft space where it can be reached. All told, expect an hour or two for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Rural addresses near Loxhill can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- 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.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Check we can get to the back of the property

If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Thermal roof surveys around Loxhill
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
For any home in Loxhill, it is the small, early fault that is cheapest to put right.
Loxhill is about 8 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. Surveys in Loxhill work the same way as everywhere we cover: a proper look at everything that’s safely in view, photos and a clear written report. Loxhill is one of the towns and villages in Surrey where we work. Guildford is in our area too.

Common roof problems in Loxhill
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.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Peter, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
Why it’s worth a survey now in Loxhill
Wet insulation under a flat roof does not dry out on its own while the covering stays on. Over time, it insulates less well and can harm the deck. Finding them early can mean a smaller job. Outbuildings and barns around Loxhill are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
