Thermal Roof Survey in Murrell Green
Thermal roof surveys across Murrell Green, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. Every survey ends with a written report and photographs.
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Do not switch the heating off ahead of the visit
After the visit, we put the thermal images, photos and moisture readings into one report. Each image is explained in plain words, with our recommendations. With a Premium Survey, you get the report the same day.
Watch for new damp patches on ceilings beneath the roof. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
Thermal roof survey in Murrell Green
A thermal camera can help when the cause of damp isn’t obvious. Water can travel some distance under a roof covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help us trace where it may have come from. The images are used alongside a visual inspection and moisture readings, so the findings do not rely on the camera alone. Common reasons to book are missing or slipped insulation and wet areas near outlets and upstands, across ceilings below the roof, flat roofs and insulated roof spaces.
Somewhere as small as Murrell Green, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from ground level. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
We keep jargon out of it: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

DIY checks: what’s safe
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
The survey, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Older roofs in small places like Murrell Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You let us know about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Keep pets in another room
- Note where any stains or damp appear
Getting a price
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply phone 07833 053749 or send us an email whenever suits you.
Advice
How we price thermal roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The shape of the roof and its details
Our price is from £400, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT.
Helping us price your survey
The more you let us know, the easier it is to price the survey. When you contact us, it’s useful to mention:
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and tell us the address and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price before you book.
What we are asked to look at in Murrell Green
After a long-running leak, insulation under a flat roof can stay wet. Knowing how much of the roof is affected helps decide between a local repair and more. Thermal images and moisture readings together can show the likely extent.
Most people get in touch when they’ve noticed one of these:
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Water that travels before it shows
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
The streets around a church such as St John the Evangelist are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- When you will get the report
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
How the survey changes by roof type
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Many single-ply and EPDM roofs sit on insulation boards. Wet boards can show as temperature differences on the images.
Loft insulation
In the loft space, the camera can pick up gaps and thin areas of insulation. We look where there’s safe access.
Airspace, weather and Murrell Green roofs
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Many roofs like these cannot be judged properly from the pavement, and that’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Historic houses such as Stratfield Saye House, about 4.9 miles north-west, show how far back building around Murrell Green goes. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from the ground, and a survey from above or with a thermal imager doesn’t touch the roof itself. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hook Junior School, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.
Murrell Green is about 4 miles west of Fleet, in Hampshire. Surveys in Murrell Green work the same way as everywhere we cover: a close look at what can be seen safely, photographs and a clear written report.

Questions from Murrell Green
Do you cover smaller places like Murrell Green?
Yes, Murrell Green is covered. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How do I find out if my home in Murrell Green is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
On pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp patterns. We explain what the images can and cannot tell you, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but we do not provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We carry out surveys on any day of the week. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take about 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. The written report follows by email.
