Thermal roof surveys in Micheldever: local notes
If your home is older, it is worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. 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. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Church of St Mary, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps. If you look after a building such as Micheldever CofE Primary School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

How a thermal roof survey works in Micheldever
Thermal imaging is a useful tool, but it has limits. Sun, shade, reflective surfaces and wind can all change what the camera shows. That is why we check findings with moisture readings and a close visual inspection. 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’ve noticed areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions and stains that keep coming back, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Somewhere as small as Micheldever, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Weather and airspace are looked at ahead of the visit, and the journey is planned beforehand. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
- Tell us where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Don’t switch the heating off before the visit
We note the weather and surface conditions, and how they may have affected the results. That way you know how much weight to give each finding.
Check loft insulation covers the whole area and hasn’t been disturbed. Insulation is frequently moved when people work in the roof space.
Can I check my roof myself?
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Honest limits
Every survey has limits, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
- A structural engineer’s assessment
- The condition of timbers we cannot see

Common questions in Micheldever
Do you cover smaller places like Micheldever?
Yes. Micheldever is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Micheldever in the area you cover?
Yes, Micheldever is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
What does the report include?
A written report with photos, covering the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend, by urgency where it matters. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we don’t carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
When does the report arrive?
Report times are set by the package. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, tell us as you book.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
How the survey works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere as small as Micheldever, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
Book a survey
Getting a price is simple: just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email, let us know about the property and we will explain which survey suits. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
Different roofs, different checks
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Thin membranes can show patterns from the layers beneath. Reflections from shiny surfaces can affect readings, which we allow for.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
On felt and asphalt flat roofs, wet insulation can show as a temperature difference across the surface. We check those patches with moisture readings.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Micheldever
The longer moisture sits in a roof, the more it can affect timbers and finishes below. Looking now, while the damage may still be limited, keeps more options open. For older village homes like those around Micheldever, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices start from £400, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.
