Quelm Park Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Quelm Park. We have completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and the South East.
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
What affects the price in Quelm Park
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The roof’s overall size
Our price is from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the size and height of the roof, access and which survey you book.
What we need to know
A little information up front helps. It helps to include:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The address and postcode of the property
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form when you’re ready.
Thermal roof survey in Quelm Park: what you get
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, making it clear where on the roof each pattern is. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. With a Premium Survey, the report reaches you the same day. If you have questions, the in-person consultation gives you time to go through them. There is a 12-month follow-up as well. We survey loft conversions, ceilings below the roof and pitched roof slopes, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are damp patches with no obvious cause and leaks far from where the stain appears.
Older cottages and houses around Quelm Park may have little insulation, and some have extensions with their own roofs. A thermal image can show where heat is escaping or where moisture may be trapped, and drone photos show the roof surfaces themselves. Findings are checked with moisture readings where needed. Calm, dry weather suits both methods, so the date is set with the forecast in mind.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Thermal roof surveys around Quelm Park
Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. Bracknell, which Quelm Park is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Many homes in the new towns date from the post-war decades, with concrete interlocking tiles, low-pitched roofs and flat-roofed garages and porches. Low pitches and flat-roofed additions are hard to see from ground level, so aerial and thermal views add detail.
If you look after a building such as Sandy Lane Primary School, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once. If you live in an older home near St Andrew, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps.
Quelm Park is about 1 mile north of Bracknell, in Bracknell Forest. Quelm Park is part of the area we cover and the surrounding area as part of our work across London and the South East. Our area takes in places right across Bracknell Forest. Reading is in our area too.

Quelm Park: your questions answered
Do you cover Quelm Park?
Yes, Quelm Park is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Quelm Park?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
Will I get photos?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found, so you can see each point for yourself.
Can a thermal camera see water?
Not directly. It shows temperature, and wet materials often behave differently from dry ones. We confirm what it suggests with moisture readings.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
What conditions are best for thermal imaging?
The results depend on the weather. Dry, calm weather after some sun gives the best chance of clear images. Our report notes the conditions and how they affected the findings.
Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Quelm Park
Buyers sometimes want more than a visual look at the roof. A Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and a same-day report, which helps when timescales are tight.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Water that travels before it shows
- Cold areas below the roof
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
For businesses in and around places such as The Lexicon, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it.
Before booking anyone
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- When you’ll get the report
- Will the report include photos?
- What experience they bring
Why get it checked now?
A poorly insulated roof loses heat year after year. Thermal images can show where insulation is missing or has slipped, so improvements can go where they’re needed. In an older home around Quelm Park, water from a roof defect can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £400, including VAT. You will know the exact price before booking.

Before and after the survey
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They apply to most roofs:
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- Check from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
After the visit, we put the thermal images, photos and moisture readings into one report. We explain what each image may mean, with our recommendations. Premium reports are sent the same day.
Clear outlets and gutters regularly, so water doesn’t sit on the roof. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.
How it works
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can safely be seen and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. The visit typically takes about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Being in a smaller place like Quelm Park does not change how the visit works: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. It helps to show us anything you’ve already noticed.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there’s safe access, in the loft.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
How to prepare
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
