Madley Park Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof in Madley Park. We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Ceilings that feel colder in places

Thermal roof survey in Madley Park: what you get
Thermal imaging can also show where a roof is losing heat. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated areas can stand out on the images. It works best when the building is heated and it is colder outside. Our report points out what the images suggest and where to look more closely. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. We survey flat roofs, commercial roofs and insulated roof spaces, and common reasons people get in touch are stains that keep coming back and areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions.
Around Madley Park, older homes can have thin loft insulation and later additions with roofs of their own. Thermal patterns and close-up photos together give a fuller picture of the roof. Anything that looks like moisture is checked with a meter. Calm, dry weather suits both methods, so the date is set with the forecast in mind.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What we do, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Parking around Madley Park is typically easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. Low roofs on bungalows can frequently be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- We talk through the roof, any damp or leaks, and the weather expected on the day.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there is safe access.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Book a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

Common questions in Madley Park
Is Madley Park within the area you cover?
Yes, Madley Park is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Is Madley Park in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Madley Park as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I book a survey in Madley Park?
To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We can only inspect what we’re given access to.
How quickly is the report sent?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
What insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
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.
Can I check my roof myself?
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.
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Madley Park
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Many roofs like these can’t be judged properly from the pavement, and that’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of Holy Trinity, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. If you look after a building such as Madley Brook Community Primary School, big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once. If you run a hotel or guest house in or near Madley Park, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use.

- Proving moisture from the images alone
- An energy rating for the building
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer

Roof by roof
GRP fibreglass roofs
Water can get through cracked GRP into the deck. We combine a visual check of cracks with the thermal images around them.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Because these membranes are thin, patterns from below often show. Reflections from shiny surfaces can affect readings, which we allow for.
How we price thermal roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- How big the roof is
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Booking your survey
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, tell us:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- The property’s address and postcode
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
