Thermal roof surveys for New Haw homes and businesses

What a survey costs

When we price a survey, we consider:

  • Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
  • Building height and the viewpoints available
  • Roof area
  • Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed

For a price for your roof in New Haw, call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the roof. We’ll confirm the figure before booking.

What to let us know when you contact us

What helps most when you contact us:

  • The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
  • The property’s address and postcode
  • Any marks or damp showing indoors
  • Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof

Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.

Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in New Haw

Thermal imaging can also show where a roof is losing heat. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves often show up as temperature differences. The difference shows most clearly when it is warm inside and cold outside. The report shows the images and explains what they may mean. It is not an energy rating or a heat loss calculation. Common reasons to book are water that travels before it shows and damp around roof outlets and upstands, on ceilings below the roof, commercial roofs and pitched roof slopes.

Even in a smaller place like New Haw, there may be airfields or restrictions nearby, so the Drone Safety Map is checked before any flight. Exposed sites can be windy, and a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind, while thermal imaging also works best with little wind. Neighbours’ privacy is part of planning each flight, along with the airspace and the weather.

Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly, along with how urgent it is.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in New Haw

Will you come out to New Haw?

Yes, New Haw is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one.

Can you fly a drone over a roof in New Haw?

The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. New Haw is about 3 miles from Fairoaks Airport, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather.

Will thermal imaging find my leak?

It can help narrow down where water may be getting in. Patterns can suggest where trapped water has spread. It’s used alongside a close inspection and moisture readings because the camera can’t confirm water on its own.

What do I do with the report?

The report arrives by email. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.

Will you walk on the roof?

Only where it’s safe to do so. We inspect what can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it’s safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.

Can you survey a shared roof?

Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.

How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in New Haw?

It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof, and we’ll take it from there. Surveys run on any day of the week.

Common roof problems in New Haw

Some buyers want extra detail before they commit to a purchase. A Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and a same-day report, which suits a purchase that’s moving quickly.

We are often asked to look at:

  • Leaks far from where the stain appears
  • Damp around roof outlets and upstands
  • Damp that repairs haven’t cured
  • Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions

Anyone responsible for a site like The Grange Community Infant School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Before you book any roof surveyor

  • What follow-up you get after the report
  • What insurance they carry
  • Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
  • Their track record with similar roofs

What to expect from a roof survey

When you need someone else

We only report whatever is safely visible on the day, so there are some things a survey can’t cover:

  • A formal energy assessment
  • Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
  • Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check

If you are not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

What this survey covers

  • Commercial roofs
  • Pitched roof slopes
  • Loft conversions
  • Ceilings below the roof
  • Insulated roof spaces
  • Flat roofs

What we do, step by step

The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photos go into the written report. It normally takes about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Some parts of a survey depend on the weather, so a visit to New Haw is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.

  1. We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
  2. The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
  3. Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
  4. Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
  5. You get a report with thermal images, photos and our recommendations.

Before we arrive

  • Jot down any questions you want answered
  • Find any records of previous roof work
  • Keep pets in another room

You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

Advice

Flying and imaging in New Haw

New Haw is about 3 miles from Fairoaks Airport. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from ground level, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.

If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Peacocks, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it. Byfleet Manor, about 1.9 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around New Haw. For older roofs nearby, a look by drone or thermal camera is a hands-off way to check condition.

New Haw is about 2 miles south-west of Weybridge, in Surrey. We provide thermal roof surveys for homeowners, landlords and businesses in New Haw and nearby. Our Surrey coverage includes New Haw and the places around it. Our Guildford page covers surveys nearby.

Can I check my roof myself?

Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.

Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.

What we look for on each type of roof

Single-ply and EPDM roofs

Because these membranes are thin, patterns from below frequently show. Shiny surfaces can reflect heat, so we take care reading the images.

Loft insulation

Heat loss shows most clearly when it’s warm inside and colder outside. Our report notes how the conditions affected the images.
