Thermal Roof Survey in Redlands
Thermal roof surveys in Redlands and the rest of Surrey. Surveys run seven days a week.
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Stains that keep coming back
Drones, thermal imaging and Redlands roofs
In Surrey, older roofs are often 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. Farnham Castle, about 2.3 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Redlands. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
Shop and office owners around Hart Shopping Centre may find that thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof. Anyone responsible for a site like Crondall Primary School will know that big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.
Redlands is about 3 miles south of Fleet, in Surrey. If you are in Redlands, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Redlands is one of the places in Surrey we cover. You can also see our page for Guildford.

Redlands’s nearest station is Farnham station, about 2.9 miles south-east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Hart Shopping Centre (3.1 miles north) and Museum of Farnham (2.4 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Farnham Park and Beacon Hill.
Thermal roof survey in Redlands: what you get
What a thermal camera can show depends a lot on the weather. It is useful to have a sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air. Rain, wind and cloud can all make the patterns weaker. We’ll discuss the weather with you when booking, and the report explains how the conditions on the day affected the results. We survey ceilings below the roof, loft conversions and flat roofs, and people most often book us about water that travels before it shows and missing or slipped insulation.
Older buildings in small places like Redlands may be listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera doesn’t touch 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.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes an hour or two at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Redlands can have low, tight loft spaces, so it helps to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it is safe.
- First we go over the roof, the problem you’ve noticed and the conditions forecast for the visit.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can be seen safely.
- A thermal camera records how the surface temperature varies across the roof.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there is safe access.
- You get a report with thermal images, photographs and our recommendations.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Keep pets in another room
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
How to book
Unsure which package suits your roof? It is easiest to call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We’ll explain the options and the price.

What a thermal roof survey doesn’t cover
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Proving moisture from the images alone
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
If you are not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you a straight answer. What a survey covers and does not.
What we check
- Ceilings below the roof
- Pitched roof slopes
- Insulated roof spaces
- Flat roofs
- Commercial roofs
- Loft conversions
Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Redlands
On big commercial and residential flat roofs, thermal imaging helps owners plan. It can suggest which areas may be wet and which seem dry, so we know where to take moisture readings.
Look out for signs like these:
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Before you book anyone
- What experience they bring
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
Different roofs, different checks
GRP fibreglass roofs
Water under a GRP roof can reach the timber deck. Thermal imaging can suggest where that may be happening.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Damp at junctions can be hard to see by eye. We combine a close visual check with the thermal images.

Other services in Redlands
For landlords and managing agents
Landlords, agents and building managers in Redlands and across Surrey can book any of our surveys. For a price for a let property or a block, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Larger roofs take longer, and they’re priced for the size.
Tips that help
Small things make a difference, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Check the loft can be reached safely
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
You also get an in-person consultation with a Premium Survey, so you can go through the images with us. A follow-up 12 months later is included as well.
Clear outlets and gutters regularly, so water doesn’t sit on the roof. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.
Common questions in Redlands
Do you cover smaller places like Redlands?
Yes, Redlands is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Redlands?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
How fast do I get the report?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. The report is emailed to you.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on what we need to see. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access.
How do I book a survey in Redlands?
Simply call 07833 053749 or email us with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
It can help narrow down where water may be getting in. Patterns can suggest where trapped water has spread. We combine it with a visual inspection and moisture readings because the camera cannot confirm water on its own.
