About our thermal roof survey in Pitch Green
Thermal imaging can also show where a roof is losing heat. 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. If you are worried about possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering and thin or uneven insulation in the roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Some older homes in villages like Pitch Green are 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. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, with the urgent items made clear.

What happens on the day
We photograph the roof as we go, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a small place like Pitch Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Check pets are kept safely away

Advice
Can I check my roof myself?
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.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
Why get it checked now?
Repeated repairs that do not stop a leak are a sign the source hasn’t been traced. Thermal imaging with moisture readings can help narrow it down, rather than more guesswork. Outbuildings and barns around Pitch Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £400, including VAT.

Roof by roof
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Slate and tile roofs are often harder to read with a thermal camera, because of the air space beneath. We back up what the camera shows with a look in the loft where we can.
Loft insulation
From inside the loft, thermal imaging can show gaps in insulation and cold spots. We inspect the loft where it can be reached safely.
Questions from Pitch Green
Will you come out to Pitch Green?
Yes, we do. We work right across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Pitch Green?
Yes, Pitch Green is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property.
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 is why we check any patterns with moisture readings.
Do you use drones?
Where it is applicable and safe, yes. We are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID), flying a sub-250g drone. It’s included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where applicable, the Premium Survey.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. Photos are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
Gaps and thin areas of insulation can show up on the camera. The difference is clearest when the building is heated and it is colder outside. Where we can reach the loft safely, we check there too.

What a thermal roof survey looks like in Pitch Green
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Some villages in Buckinghamshire still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Many roofs like these can’t be judged properly from the pavement, and that is where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
If you look after a building such as Princes Risborough School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. Take an older house close to Church of the Holy Trinity: tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf, with the report sent to whoever needs it. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it as you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Tips that help
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out:
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Don’t switch the heating off ahead of the visit
You also get an in-person consultation with a Premium Survey, giving you the chance to talk through the images and findings. There’s a 12-month follow-up too.
Deal with small splits and lifted seams promptly. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.
