- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
- A formal energy assessment

How a thermal roof survey works in Peaslake
Our thermal survey records how the surface temperature varies across your roof. Those patterns can point to trapped moisture, missing insulation or heat escaping. The camera doesn’t see water itself, so we check what it shows with moisture readings. It comes as part of our Premium Survey, from £400. The report also notes the conditions on the day, since they affect what the camera can show. If you’ve noticed possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering and moisture around outlets and upstands, we can find out what’s behind it.
Older buildings in small places like Peaslake may be listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

What else we do in Peaslake
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Peaslake
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Historic houses like Chilworth Manor, about 4.2 miles north-west, show how far back building in the area around Peaslake goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mark: tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

Different roofs, different checks
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Even on pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp. The report explains what the images can tell you and what they can’t.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Problems where roof slopes and walls meet are often hidden. A careful visual inspection goes alongside the images.
Questions from Peaslake
Do you cover Peaslake?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Peaslake is part of that. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Will you come out to Peaslake?
We do. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Peaslake?
To book, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what you need to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
Are you insured?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
What does the report include?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photos throughout. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
What we need to know
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to tell us:
- What’s prompted the survey
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Anything about access we should know
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window. To get started, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Peaslake
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos.
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run seven days a week, which can make access easier.
Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
Once we have been, the thermal images, photos and readings go into a single report. We explain what each image may mean, alongside what we recommend. With a Premium Survey, you get the report the same day.
Watch for new damp patches on ceilings beneath the roof. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
The survey, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Older roofs in small places like Peaslake can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First we go over the roof, the problem you’ve noticed and the conditions forecast for the visit.
- We look at the roof from ground level, from windows and from the roof itself where it is safe.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
Book a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will ask a few questions about the roof. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
