How a thermal roof survey works in North Gorley
A thermal survey can point to places where heat is escaping through the roof. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves frequently show up as temperature differences. It works best when the building is heated and it is colder outside. Our report points out what the images suggest and where to look more closely. It is not an energy rating or a heat loss calculation. Typical surveys look at areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions and cold areas below the roof, on commercial roofs, pitched roof slopes and ceilings below the roof.
Some older homes in villages like North Gorley are listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera does not touch the roof, so it’s a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Thermal roof surveys in North Gorley: local notes
The wider area around North Gorley has a long history of building, with Breamore House about 4.5 miles north. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Take a building like Hyde Church of England Primary School: a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Ascension, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.

What a survey costs
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- House, block, shop or office
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package matters as well. We’ll give you the figure before anything is booked.
Getting in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- What made you get in touch
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine. To get started, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Why act early in North Gorley
A poorly insulated roof loses heat year after year. Thermal images can show where insulation is missing or has slipped, so improvements can go where they’re needed. In a small place like North Gorley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

What we do, step by step
Safety comes first on every visit. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof can’t be seen, the report says so. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. Somewhere as small as North Gorley, access is often the only tricky part. 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 go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there’s safe access, in the loft.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Common questions in North Gorley
Is my home in North Gorley listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you cover North Gorley?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and North Gorley is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We note visible signs like sagging or deflection, but we are not structural engineers and do not carry out calculations. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). Drone inspection is part of the Drone Roof Survey and the Premium Survey, where applicable.
Will the camera show exactly where the water is?
No, not on its own. 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.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, which makes the report easy to follow.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date.
What we cannot see
It’s a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. Its limits include:
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- A formal energy assessment
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
