Thermal imaging roof survey in Mulberry Green, Essex
We carry out thermal roof surveys in Mulberry Green and the rest of Essex. We survey seven days a week.
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Water that travels before it shows
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Mulberry Green
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. It also includes a drone inspection where it applies, a structural analysis and a same-day report. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We survey commercial roofs, pitched roof slopes and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are moisture around outlets and upstands and possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering.
In a small place like Mulberry Green, open ground can mean strong wind. High wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
The report is written in plain words, so it makes sense without any roofing background. Photographs show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

Common questions in Mulberry Green
How do I find out if my home in Mulberry Green is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover smaller places like Mulberry Green?
Yes. Mulberry Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime. Just say which days work for you.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take between one and two hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof, so it sits alongside a building survey rather than replacing it.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Mulberry Green?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know the address and what you want to find out. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.

What else we do in Mulberry Green
What we are asked to look at in Mulberry Green
Cold rooms under a roof, or high heating bills, lead some people to ask about heat loss. Missing or slipped insulation can stand out as temperature differences, particularly when there is a clear difference between inside and outside.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Stains that keep coming back
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
Questions to ask before booking
- What experience they bring
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
Airspace, weather and Mulberry Green roofs
Historic houses like Layer Marney Tower, about 2.8 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Mulberry Green goes. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. Older buildings in Essex often have clay tiles and weatherboarding, and lots of post-war and modern estates besides. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
Take a building like The Stanway School: a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
Mulberry Green is about 5 miles west of Colchester, in Essex. Wherever you are in Mulberry Green, we can come and survey your property. Our Essex coverage includes Mulberry Green and the places around it. You can also see our page for Chelmsford.

The survey, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a village or hamlet like Mulberry Green, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Keep pets in another room
Getting a price
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
What affects the price in Mulberry Green
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How big the roof is
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- Basic, Standard or Premium
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all including VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Booking your survey
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The address and postcode of the property
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
To book a survey, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’d like to know about the roof. You’ll know the price before anything is booked.
Useful tips for Mulberry Green property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Check the loft can be reached safely
- File the images with your roof records
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
You also get an in-person consultation with a Premium Survey, so you can go through the images with us. There is a 12-month follow-up too.
Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof in suitable weather.
Roof by roof
Loft insulation
In the loft space, the camera can pick up gaps and thin areas of insulation. We inspect the loft where it can be reached safely.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Felt and asphalt sit tight to the layers below, which frequently helps the camera pick up differences. Any patterns are checked with moisture readings.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
