Thermal Roof Survey in Martyr's Green
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof for Martyr's Green and the rest of Surrey. We survey seven days a week.
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Water that travels before it shows
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
Thermal roof survey in Martyr's Green: what you get
On a flat roof, wet insulation holds heat longer than dry insulation. So a wet patch can show as a warmer or cooler area on the camera. This can give an idea of how far water has travelled beneath the membrane, which is hard to judge by eye. We then check those areas with moisture readings. We survey loft conversions, ceilings below the roof and insulated roof spaces, and people most often book us about damp that repairs haven’t cured and ceilings that feel colder in places.
In a small place like Martyr's Green, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, 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.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

Do you need a thermal roof survey in Martyr's Green?
Some defects simply cannot be seen with the eye. Trapped moisture, missing insulation and hidden heat loss are three examples. A thermal camera adds another way of finding them.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Stains that keep coming back
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
Byfleet Manor, about 2.2 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Martyr's Green. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from ground level, and a survey from above or with a thermal imager does not touch the roof itself.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Their insurance cover
- What happens after the report arrives
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- What experience they bring
How it works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Somewhere as small as Martyr's Green, access is frequently the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
How to book
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
Before and after the survey
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Make sure the loft can be reached safely
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Check outlets after heavy rain
After the visit, we put the thermal images, photographs and moisture readings into one report. We explain what each image may mean, with our recommendations. With a Premium Survey, you get the report the same day.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
Martyr's Green: your questions answered
Do you cover Martyr's Green?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Martyr's Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Martyr's Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are usually harder to read. The air space under slates and tiles can hide patterns, so we also look from the loft where it’s safe.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report, and it does not include calculations. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
What will the report tell me?
A report with photos, explaining the condition of the roof, any defects and our recommendations. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Martyr's Green?
To arrange a survey, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
Thermal images can suggest where heat is escaping and where insulation may be missing. We don’t give energy ratings or heat loss calculations, but the images show where improvements may help.

Airspace, weather and Martyr's Green roofs
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Whatever the street in Martyr's Green, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.

How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Slate and tile roofs are often harder to read with a thermal camera, because of the air space beneath. We combine the images with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Damp at junctions can be hard to see by eye. We combine a close visual check with the thermal images.
