What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date.
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Nash
Thermal imaging is useful when a damp patch has no clear cause. Leaks often run along a roof before they appear on a ceiling, 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 no conclusion rests on one method alone. If you’ve noticed cold areas below the roof and damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on commercial roofs, flat roofs and insulated roof spaces alike.
Somewhere as small as Nash, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What else we do in Nash
Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Nash
Is Nash in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Nash?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
Thermal imaging can help, alongside other checks. What it shows depends on the weather and the roof. Where it can’t be pinned down, the report suggests a next step, such as electronic leak detection.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Can thermal imaging show missing insulation?
It can show temperature patterns that point to missing or thin insulation. The difference is clearest when the building is heated and it is colder outside. Where we can reach the loft safely, we check there too.
How it works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. In a small place like Nash, access is normally the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- 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.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
How to prepare
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Clear the way to the loft hatch

Advice
How we price thermal roof surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Roof area
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Before you get in touch, it is useful to have:
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Anything about access we should know
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Thermal images can suggest the extent of wet areas without cutting into the roof. It helps when deciding whether to patch an area or replace the roof. For an older or listed building in a place like Nash, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Nash
Once a leak has been fixed, people frequently ask whether the roof is still wet. Thermal images and moisture readings can suggest whether moisture is still trapped when the conditions on the day are suitable.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
Whatever the street in Nash, a roof costs least to look after when faults are caught early.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- How soon the report will arrive
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- What exactly goes into their report
Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- Check outlets after heavy rain
After the visit, we put the thermal images, photos and moisture readings into one report. Each image is explained in plain words, alongside what we recommend. With a Premium Survey, you get the report the same day.
Have small defects in the covering fixed early. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Nash
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. To find out, check Historic England’s list and ask the council about conservation areas. Re-roofing in different materials may need permission there.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
