How a thermal roof survey works in Rush Green
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. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. To book, just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and what you’ve noticed. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. We survey pitched roof slopes, flat roofs and insulated roof spaces, and the problems we are asked to look at most are heat escaping through the roof and wet insulation beneath the membrane.
Somewhere as small as Rush Green, 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 ground level. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned ahead of time. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, like when you want to compare after future work.

Common questions in Rush Green
Are there drone restrictions around Rush Green?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Rush Green is about 2 miles from Denham Aerodrome, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. High wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
Is Rush Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Rush Green is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
How long does the survey take?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof; most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
Thermal images can suggest where heat is escaping and where insulation may be missing. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations, but the images show where improvements may help.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
Conditions on the day affect the results. It works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind. Rain, wind and heavy cloud can weaken the patterns, so we talk through the forecast when you book.
What insurance do you have?
Our cover is professional indemnity plus public liability.
What affects the price in Rush Green
We confirm the price for your survey before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- House, block, shop or office
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The roof’s overall size
Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and the package you choose.
What to tell us when you get in touch
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What’s prompted the survey
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
If you’re buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just ring 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Rush Green
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, like stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes between one and two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a village or hamlet like Rush Green, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there’s safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- 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.
Before the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Arrange a survey
Unsure which package suits your roof? The easiest way is to ring 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Without thermal imaging, the only way to see how far water has spread is often to open up the roof. That helps you and your roofer decide what really needs replacing. 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.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Different roofs, different checks
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Even on pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp. The report explains what the images can tell you and what they can’t.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Water under a GRP roof can reach the timber deck. Thermal imaging can suggest where that may be happening.
What we’re asked to look at in Rush Green
Some defects simply cannot be seen with the eye. Trapped moisture, missing insulation and hidden heat loss are three examples. Thermal imaging gives us another way to look for them.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
Take a building like Denham Village School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Before booking anyone

Airspace, weather and Rush Green roofs
Denham Aerodrome is about 2 miles from Rush Green. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Historic houses such as Ickenham Hall, about 3.2 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Rush Green goes. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Pavilions, thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof. For an older house near a landmark such as St Francis, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.
