The survey, step by step
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take an hour or two for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. In a small place like Peasmarsh, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Getting ready for the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Check pets are kept safely away

Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Peasmarsh
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. You also get a drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a report on the same day. There’s an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. To book, just call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We’re frequently asked to look into wet insulation beneath the membrane and cold spots on ceilings under the roof, on loft conversions, insulated roof spaces and pitched roof slopes.
Villages like Peasmarsh often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
The written findings come by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Different roofs, different checks
Loft insulation
Heat loss shows most clearly when it is warm inside and colder outside. We explain in the report how the conditions on the day affected what we saw.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Glossy GRP can reflect heat. We allow for reflections and confirm findings with moisture readings.
Why it is worth a survey now in Peasmarsh
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. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Every price we give includes VAT. Our price is from £400, including VAT. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.

FAQs for Peasmarsh
Is Peasmarsh within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
Is my home in Peasmarsh listed or in a conservation area?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. It is a specialist roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 building survey. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have carried out more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
What does a thermal roof survey show?
The images show how warm or cool each part of the surface is. Differences can suggest wet areas, missing insulation or heat loss, which we then check with moisture readings.
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Peasmarsh
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up aerial photos and thermal images help. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Take a building like Broadwater School: big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once. Loseley Park, about 1.1 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Peasmarsh. Photos from the air and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it.
Peasmarsh is about 3 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. We cover Peasmarsh and the rest of Surrey, as part of our work across London and South East England. Peasmarsh is one of the places in Surrey where we work for thermal roof surveys.

When to book a survey in Peasmarsh
Some defects simply cannot be seen with the eye. Wet insulation, gaps in insulation and heat loss are often invisible from outside. A thermal camera adds another way of finding them.
Look out for signs like these:
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Cold areas below the roof
- Missing or slipped insulation
Take an older house close to St Michael: older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Is VAT included in the price?
- What the report includes, and whether it has photographs
- Whether any drone flown is registered with the CAA
How we price thermal roof surveys
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The size of the roof
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
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.
Helping us price your survey
When you call or email, these details help:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- The address and postcode of the property
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
Not sure which survey you need? It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.

Useful tips for Peasmarsh property owners
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- File the images with your roof records
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- Check outlets after heavy rain
After the visit, we put the thermal images, photos and moisture readings into one report. Each image is explained in plain words, with our recommendations. Premium reports are sent the same day.
Deal with small splits and lifted seams promptly. Once water gets under a membrane, it can travel far before it appears inside.
