Nutcombe Thermal Roof Survey
Find out the condition of the roof at your property in Nutcombe from an independent roof surveyor. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
Why get it checked now?
Trapped water can harm decks, timbers and ceilings the longer it stays. Looking now, while the damage may still be limited, keeps more options open. For older village homes like those around Nutcombe, the right replacement materials are not always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Why book us in Nutcombe
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- A sub-250g drone, flown with a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Every finding written up with photos
- Two decades and more of roof surveys

Thermal roof survey in Nutcombe
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. On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can hide what’s below, so we combine the camera with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access. If you are worried about patches of heat loss across the roof and areas of a flat roof that may hold water, we can find out what’s behind it, on pitched roof slopes, commercial roofs and loft conversions alike.
Some older homes in villages like Nutcombe are listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
The report does not 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.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Nutcombe
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
Honest limits
It is useful to know what a survey won’t do before you book:
- The condition of timbers we cannot see
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations
If you’re not sure which survey you need, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Flat roofs
- Commercial roofs
- Insulated roof spaces
- Ceilings below the roof
- Loft conversions
- Pitched roof slopes
How it works
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes about one to two hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere as small as Nutcombe, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Getting ready for the survey
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Keep pets in another room

FAQs for Nutcombe
Do you cover Nutcombe?
Yes. Our area covers London and South East England, and Nutcombe is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Is my home in Nutcombe listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Can you tell me if my roof has 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 suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?
On pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp patterns. Our report is clear about what can be read from them, and back them up with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We are roof surveyors, not structural engineers. We will recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
How fast do I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. If you have a deadline, like an exchange date, tell us when booking.
Does thermal imaging detect leaks directly?
Thermal imaging shows temperature rather than water. Because wet insulation holds heat for longer, it can show as a different temperature, but we check each finding with moisture readings.
What a survey costs
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Which survey package you book
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £400, including VAT.
What we need to know
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from the ground or a window
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know the cost up front. Prices start from £400, including VAT. For a price for your roof, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Thermal roof surveys around Nutcombe
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Luke, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Amesbury School, big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.

What you can safely check yourself
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
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 the ground.
