Thermal roof survey in North Crawley
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. You also get a drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day. There’s an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We survey commercial roofs, flat roofs and insulated roof spaces, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps in loft insulation and water getting in at parapets and stacks.
Some older homes in villages like North Crawley are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it’s a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
Nothing in the report is left vague: if work is needed, the report says so clearly.

What affects the price in North Crawley
Survey packages start from £150, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How big the roof is
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Booking your survey
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- What’s prompted the survey
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- The address and postcode of the property
Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
The survey, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes an hour or two at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older roofs in small places like North Crawley can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We talk through the roof, any damp or leaks, and the weather expected on the day.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can safely be seen.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there’s safe access.
- You get a report with thermal images, photographs and our recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Find any records of previous roof work
Booking a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you are ready.

Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Our tips:
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Make sure the loft can be reached safely
- Don’t climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
You also get an in-person consultation with a Premium Survey, so you can go through the images with us. There is a 12-month follow-up too.
Check that loft insulation is laid evenly and hasn’t been pushed aside. Insulation is often moved when people work in the loft space.

Drones, thermal imaging and North Crawley roofs
In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. With Linford Manor about 4.8 miles west, North Crawley sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as North Crawley CofE School, big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Firmin, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image.

Landlord and commercial surveys in North Crawley
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
FAQs for North Crawley
Is North Crawley in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and North Crawley is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
Is my home in North Crawley listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Visits run seven days a week in the daytime, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing aren’t part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can show heat loss and some damp, but it has more limits there. We explain what the images can and cannot tell you, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
What insurance do you have?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
