About our thermal roof survey in Remenham Hill
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. It also includes a drone inspection where it applies, a structural analysis and a same-day report. There’s an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. Typical surveys look at heat escaping through the roof and gaps in loft insulation, on ceilings below the roof, flat roofs and loft conversions.
Somewhere as small as Remenham Hill, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you cannot get from the ground. Weather and airspace are looked at before the visit. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
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 check the roof.

Airspace, weather and Remenham Hill roofs
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire frequently have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from ground level, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
Greenlands lies about 1.7 miles north, so building around Remenham Hill goes back a long way. Aerial photos and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it. If you run a hotel or guest house in or near Remenham Hill, a roof problem can mean rooms out of use, so it is worth knowing the roof’s condition. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.

Questions from Remenham Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Remenham Hill?
Yes, Remenham Hill is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you cover Remenham Hill?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How long will you be at the property?
It typically takes between one and two hours at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. We will confirm the timing when you book.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. It’s 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.
Can a thermal camera see water?
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.
The survey, step by step
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Around Remenham Hill, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so it is useful to know whether there is a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can safely be seen.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there’s safe access.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
Preparing for the visit
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

Advice
How we price thermal roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Roof area
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
What we need to know
If you can, have these to hand when you contact us:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
We survey roofs on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Why get it checked now?
The longer moisture sits in a roof, the more it can affect timbers and finishes below. 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. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
Prices start from £150, inc. VAT, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.

Tips from our surveys
Here are a few things we’d tell any owner:
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Don’t climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
You can pass the report to a roofer so they can see where the problem areas seem to be. Because the images are paired with photos, it’s easy to find each area on the roof.
Make sure loft insulation covers the whole area and hasn’t been disturbed. Gaps often appear after work in the loft.
