Thermal Roof Survey in Nork
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof in Nork, using drones and thermal imaging where it applies. Get in touch for a price.
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
Different roofs, different checks
GRP fibreglass roofs
Water can get through cracked GRP into the deck. We combine a visual check of cracks with the thermal images around them.
Loft insulation
Insulation frequently gets moved during work in the loft. Thermal images can show where it has been pushed aside.
Thermal roof survey in Nork: what you get
Flat roofs over extensions, garages, flats and commercial buildings are where thermal imaging frequently helps most. Patterns can suggest where water is trapped under the covering. Pitched roofs with slates or tiles are often harder to read, because of the air space beneath, so we also look from the loft where we can reach it safely. Common reasons to book are gaps in loft insulation and water that travels before it shows, across ceilings below the roof, pitched roof slopes and commercial roofs.
Around Nork, plenty of roofs are low enough to see partly from the garden or the street. The parts you can’t see, such as rear slopes, valleys and chimney tops, are where a drone or thermal camera adds detail. Both depend on the weather on the day. Close-up images often show wear on ridges, verges and flashings that cannot be judged properly from the ground.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Useful tips for Nork property owners
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Do not climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
Once we’ve been, the thermal images, photos and readings go into a single report. Each image is explained in plain words, alongside what we recommend. Premium reports are sent the same day.
Keep outlets and gutters clear so water drains off the roof quickly. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.
Airspace, weather and Nork roofs
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. Many roofs like these cannot be judged properly from the pavement, and that is 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.
Fitznells Manor, about 2.4 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Nork. For older roofs nearby, a look from the air or with a thermal camera is a hands-off way to check condition. The streets around a church like St Paul are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.
Nork is about 2 miles south-east of Epsom, in Surrey. Houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings in Nork can all book thermal roof surveys, with a written report and photographs every time. We cover towns and villages across Surrey, large and small. You can also see our page for London.

What else we do in Nork
Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Nork
Building owners and managing agents use thermal surveys to plan work on larger flat roofs. It can suggest which areas may be wet and which seem dry, so we know where to take moisture readings.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
If you look after a building like Warren Mead Infant School, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Are they insured for the work?
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether the price includes VAT
For landlords and managing agents
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos, useful for planning maintenance.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or email us and we will tell you. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you’d like to know. After that, we look at everything we can see safely. The survey typically takes roughly 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 Nork is booked with the forecast in mind: the parts that need calm, dry weather are planned around it.
- You let us know 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.
- 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
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
Getting a price

Advice
Common questions in Nork
Is Nork in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Nork as anywhere else.
Do you cover smaller places like Nork?
Yes, Nork is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
What happens next?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
It often helps show where to look. Water can travel under a covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help follow it. It’s used alongside a close inspection and moisture readings, as the camera alone can’t prove a leak.
How do I book a survey in Nork?
It’s easiest to phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will point you to the right survey. Surveys run seven days a week.
Will the camera show exactly where the water is?
Not directly. It shows surface temperature, and wet areas can show up because they hold heat differently. That’s why we check any patterns with moisture readings.
What’s in the report?
A report with photographs, covering the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
