Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Pyrford Green
A thermal survey can point to places where heat is escaping through the roof. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated areas can stand out on the images. 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. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. Common reasons to book are damp that repairs haven’t cured and water getting in at parapets and stacks, on flat roofs, commercial roofs and insulated roof spaces.
Older buildings in small places like Pyrford Green may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera does not touch the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
Most points in the report come with a picture, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
The report explains the conditions on the day and how they affected the images. That way you know how much weight to give each finding.
Watch for new damp patches on ceilings beneath the roof. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
Thermal roof surveys around Pyrford Green
In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. Byfleet Manor, about 1.7 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Pyrford Green. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near The Peacocks, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it. The streets around a church such as St Nicholas's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Pyrford Church of England Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

What we cannot see

- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
- Proving moisture from the images alone
- An energy rating for the building

What a survey costs

- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
- The roof’s overall size
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.

Surveys can be booked for weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. To find a date that works for you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Pyrford Green
Thermal images can suggest the extent of wet areas without cutting into the roof. It helps when deciding whether to patch an area or replace the roof. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Pyrford Green, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £400, including VAT. We confirm the price for the job before booking.

What we do, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It typically takes between one and two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Pyrford Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from ground level, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park nearby
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Keep pets in another room
Arrange a survey
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Questions from Pyrford Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Pyrford Green?
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, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Do you cover smaller places like Pyrford Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
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.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules. We are a CAA-registered drone operator.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
Thermal imaging can help, alongside other checks. The results depend on conditions on the day. Where it cannot be pinned down, the report suggests a next step, such as electronic leak detection.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but calculations and an engineer’s opinion are outside what we do. The report will say if you need an engineer.
