Thermal roof survey in Myrke
On a flat roof, wet insulation holds heat longer than dry insulation. That means a wet area can show up as a different temperature from the rest of the roof. 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. Common reasons to book are areas of a flat roof that may hold water and thin or uneven insulation in the roof, on insulated roof spaces, commercial roofs and pitched roof slopes.
Somewhere as small as Myrke, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend.

How the survey works
When we arrive, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can be seen safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey normally takes about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Around Myrke, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- 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.
- 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
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know about parking near the property

Questions from Myrke
Will you come out to Myrke?
Yes. Myrke is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there as you book.
Is my home in Myrke listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
What do I do with the report?
We email you the written report with photographs and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
Thermal imaging can help, alongside other checks. The results depend on conditions on the day. Where it cannot be pinned down, the report suggests a next step, such as electronic leak detection.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Myrke?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us the address and what you want to find out. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
How soon will I get the report?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
Roof by roof
Loft insulation
From inside the loft, thermal imaging can show gaps in insulation and cold spots. We look where there’s safe access.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Felt and asphalt roofs often show wet areas as patches that differ from the rest. Moisture readings are used to check them.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From the ground, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
Useful tips for Myrke property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Don’t climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- File the images with your roof records
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
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.
Watch for new damp patches on ceilings beneath the roof. Early action keeps insulation from staying wet.
Thermal roof surveys around Myrke
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from the ground, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help. About 1.2 miles south-west lies Windsor Castle, a reminder of how long the area around Myrke has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you run a hotel or guest house in or near Myrke, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use, so it’s worth knowing the roof’s condition. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Long Close School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Laurence, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.

For landlords and managing agents

Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work around your tenants.
