Shepperton Green Thermal Roof Survey
Know where you stand with the roof before you spend money on it. We carry out thermal roof surveys in Shepperton Green, with photographs and a clear written report.
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
What happens on the day
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes between one and two hours at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. You are welcome to ask questions while we are there. Parking around Shepperton Green is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- 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 we arrive
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Find any records of previous roof work
How to book
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Pictures from ground level or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Thermal roof survey in Shepperton Green
A thermal camera can help when the cause of damp isn’t obvious. Leaks often run along a roof before they appear on a ceiling, and the camera can show patterns that help us follow it. We combine the images with a visual inspection and moisture readings, so the findings don’t rely on the camera alone. We survey loft conversions, insulated roof spaces and commercial roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are damp patches with no obvious cause and damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys.
In smaller places like Shepperton Green, many homes are bungalows and houses with roofs you can partly see from the ground. The parts you cannot see, such as rear slopes, valleys and chimney tops, are where a drone or thermal camera adds detail. The forecast decides the day, as calm, dry conditions suit both. Even so, a close-up image frequently shows wear on ridges and flashings that a view from the ground misses.
You can share the report with anyone who needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Shepperton Green questions
How do I find out if my home in Shepperton Green is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Shepperton Green?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you insured?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
The results depend on the weather. Dry, calm weather after some sun gives the best chance of clear images. We record the conditions in the report, so you know how much weight to give the images.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Tips from our surveys
There is plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
You also get an in-person consultation with a Premium Survey, giving you the chance to talk through the images and findings. A follow-up 12 months later is included as well.
Check that loft insulation is laid evenly and hasn’t been pushed aside. Gaps often appear after work in the loft.
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Shepperton Green
Within a mile and a half or so of Shepperton Green there are several hotels, and hotels, like offices and blocks of flats, often have flat roofs. If you look after one, a large roof can be surveyed without guests having anyone working above them. Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Many roofs like these can’t be judged properly from the pavement, and that is where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
With Botleys Mansion about 3.6 miles south-west, the area around Shepperton Green has a long history. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from ground level, and a survey from the air or with a thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof itself. If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mary Magdalene, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help. Anyone responsible for a site like Saxon Primary School will know that big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.

What to let us know when you get in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- The property’s address and postcode
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- What’s prompted the survey
Unsure which package suits your roof? It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or email us and describe the roof and what’s worrying you. We will explain the options and the price.
Honest limits
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Proving moisture from the images alone
- The condition of timbers we can’t see
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll point you to the right survey. The full list of what we check.
What we check
- Insulated roof spaces
- Ceilings below the roof
- Commercial roofs
- Pitched roof slopes
- Loft conversions
- Flat roofs
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Tell us about it when you book and we’ll plan the survey around it.
Buyers’ agents can book surveys on behalf of their clients. The report is emailed, so it can go straight to your client.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
