Thermal Roof Survey in Maids Moreton
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof in Maids Moreton. We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Cold areas below the roof
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
Checking the roof from ground level
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Thermal roof survey in Maids Moreton
Our thermal survey records how the surface temperature varies across your roof. Those patterns can point to trapped moisture, missing insulation or heat escaping. It is important to know that the camera shows temperature, not water, so we check what it shows with moisture readings. It comes as part of our Premium Survey, from £400. Conditions on the day affect the results, and the report explains how. If you’re worried about damp patches with no obvious cause and damp around chimneys and parapets, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Maids Moreton, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

How the survey works
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Rural addresses near Maids Moreton can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- 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.
- Areas that look unusual on the camera are checked with moisture readings where possible.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Why get it checked now?
Heat lost through a roof costs money every winter. The camera can point to gaps and thin areas in the insulation, so improvements can go where they’re needed. Around Maids Moreton, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT.

Thermal roof surveys around Maids Moreton
With Stowe House about 2.3 miles north-west, Maids Moreton sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Edmund, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image.

When to book a survey in Maids Moreton
Not every roof problem shows on the surface. Trapped moisture, missing insulation and hidden heat loss are three examples. Thermal imaging gives us another way to look for them.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Stains that keep coming back
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Maids Moreton Church of England School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
What to check before booking
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
- What insurance they carry
- Will the report include photos?
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
What we cannot see
Before you book, it’s worth knowing what a survey won’t do:
- An energy rating for the building
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.

Common questions in Maids Moreton
How do I find out if my home in Maids Moreton is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover Maids Moreton?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Maids Moreton as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How many surveys have you done?
We have been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
It can help narrow down where water may be getting in. Water can travel under a covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help follow it. It is used alongside a close inspection and moisture readings because the camera can’t confirm water on its own.
How long does the survey take?
It normally takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. You’ll then get the report by email.
