Thermal roof surveys in Send

About our thermal roof survey in Send

Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. It also includes a drone inspection where applicable, a structural analysis and a same-day report. There is an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. If you’ve noticed gaps in loft insulation and areas of a flat roof that may hold water, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on commercial roofs, ceilings below the roof and insulated roof spaces alike.

Older cottages and houses around Send may have little insulation, and some have extensions with their own roofs. Thermal patterns and close-up photos together give a fuller picture of the roof. Anything that looks like moisture is checked with a meter. Results depend on the weather, so the visit is planned around the forecast.

The report works through the roof section by section, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Different roofs, different checks

Felt and asphalt flat roofs

Felt and asphalt sit tight to the layers below, which frequently helps the camera pick up differences. We confirm any patterns with moisture readings.

Loft insulation

In the roof space, the camera can pick up gaps and thin areas of insulation. We inspect the loft where it can be reached safely.

What we do, step by step

We will ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a survey in Send, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.

  1. You let us know about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
  2. We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
  3. We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
  4. We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
  5. The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.

Getting ready for the survey

  • Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
  • If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
  • Leave a clear route to the loft

For landlords and managing agents

Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. Surveys run on any day of the week, which helps when tenants work during the week.

Landlords and agents in Send book surveys as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos, which helps you plan work between tenancies.

What affects the price in Send

Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:

  • The use of thermal imaging or a drone
  • The shape of the roof and its details

A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You’ll know the price for your survey before booking.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Send

How do I find out if my home in Send is listed?

Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.

Is Send within the area you cover?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?

Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is frequently shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.

How does a thermal imaging roof survey work?

The camera records how the surface temperature varies. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or heat escaping. Findings are checked with moisture readings.

How long will you be at the property?

It usually takes about one to two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. We will confirm the timing as you book.

Does the report include photos?

Yes. The report includes photos of what we found, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.

Is thermal imaging included in your surveys?

Thermal imaging is included in our Premium Survey, from £400. The Premium Survey also covers a full inspection, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day.

Flying and imaging in Send

About 2.9 miles south lies Clandon Park, a reminder of how long the area around Send has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. Older houses across Surrey frequently have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.

If you run a business near The Peacocks, large commercial roofs are frequently easiest to see from above or with a thermal imager. The streets around a church such as St William of York are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help. Anyone responsible for a site like Send CofE Primary School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Send is about 3 miles south-east of Woking, in Surrey. Anywhere in Send, we can carry out thermal roof surveys at your property. Our area takes in places right across Surrey, large and small.

Further out, we also cover Guildford (3 miles south-west), Woking (3 miles north-west), Camberley (9 miles west), Epsom (12 miles east), Farnham (13 miles south-west) and Ewell (13 miles east).

What we can’t see

Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so there are some things a survey cannot cover:

  • Confirming water without moisture readings
  • Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
  • The condition of timbers we cannot see

Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will tell you. What a survey covers and doesn’t.

Roof types and parts we check

  • Commercial roofs
  • Loft conversions
  • Flat roofs
  • Pitched roof slopes
  • Insulated roof spaces
  • Ceilings below the roof

Why get it checked now?

Repeated repairs that don’t stop a leak are a sign the source hasn’t been traced. Combining the camera with moisture readings can help find it, instead of trying repair after repair. Homes in smaller places like Send can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Wind gets under it and lifts more.

Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
