Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof around Mundaydean Bottom, with a written report you can act on. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Water that travels before it shows
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs. As for time on site, it typically takes between one and two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Somewhere as small as Mundaydean Bottom, access is often 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.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can safely be seen.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
Before the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
How to book
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Advice
About our thermal roof survey in Mundaydean Bottom
What a thermal camera can show depends a lot on the weather. It helps to have a sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air. Rain, a strong wind or heavy cloud can make the images less clear. We’ll discuss the weather with you when booking, and the report explains how the conditions on the day affected the results. If you’re worried about damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys and leaks far from where the stain appears, we can find out what’s behind it, on flat roofs, pitched roof slopes and insulated roof spaces alike.
In a village or hamlet like Mundaydean Bottom, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Weather and airspace are checked before the visit, and the journey is planned beforehand. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

What we’re asked to look at in Mundaydean Bottom
Unexplained damp is one of the main reasons people ask for thermal imaging. Water can travel under a roof covering or along timbers before it shows inside. The camera helps narrow the search.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Water that travels before it shows
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
Anyone responsible for a site like Burford School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one

DIY checks: what’s safe
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
What we can’t see
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Mundaydean Bottom
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Mundaydean Bottom?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Wycombe Air Park is about 2 miles away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. Strong wind or a downpour also stops a small drone flying, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
Will you come out to Mundaydean Bottom?
Yes, Mundaydean Bottom is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, over more than 20 years, and 98% of clients are satisfied.
Does the weather affect a thermal survey?
Conditions on the day affect the results. It works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind. Rain and strong wind can make the images less clear, so we discuss the forecast when booking.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We carry out surveys on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
