Prices for thermal roof surveys in Oxshott
We confirm the price for the job before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- House, block, shop or office
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before booking.
Helping us price your survey
There’s no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email whenever suits you.
About our thermal roof survey in Oxshott
Thermal imaging is a useful tool, but it has limits. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. That’s why we check findings with moisture readings and a close visual inspection. The report is clear about what the images show and what they do not. If a finding cannot be confirmed, the report suggests a next step. If you’re worried about heat escaping through the roof and thin or uneven insulation in the roof, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Even in a smaller place like Oxshott, 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 can’t 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.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
- A structural engineer’s assessment

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Oxshott
Is my home in Oxshott listed or in a conservation area?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case.
Will you come out to Oxshott?
Yes, Oxshott is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. We look at the parts we’re given access to, and the report makes that clear.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Where it helps and it’s safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
How much does a thermal roof survey cost?
Our Premium Survey, from £400, includes thermal imaging. You also get an in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up. For bigger commercial roofs, we quote on size.
How soon will I get the report?
Each package has its own report time. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline when booking.
How long will you be at the property?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take between one and two hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Oxshott
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Oxshott. To discuss a property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
How it works
We do not take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. The survey usually 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 Oxshott is booked with the forecast in mind: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s 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.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before we arrive
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
How to book

What we look for on each type of roof
Loft insulation
Loft insulation is easily disturbed when people store things or run cables. The camera can show where it no longer covers the ceiling.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Problems where roof slopes and walls meet are often hidden. We combine a close visual check with the thermal images.

What else we do in Oxshott
Can I check my roof myself?
What you can’t do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
You can learn a lot from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Oxshott
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Historic houses like The Homewood, about 1.8 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Oxshott goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near St Andrew's Church, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help. Shop and office owners around The Ashley Centre may find that large commercial roofs are often easiest to see by drone or thermal camera. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Royal Kent CofE Primary School, big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.
