Thermal Roof Survey in Sibley's Green

Why it’s worth a survey now in Sibley's Green
A damp patch that keeps coming back typically has a cause that hasn’t been found. Thermal imaging with moisture readings can help narrow it down, instead of trying repair after repair. In a place like Sibley's Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.

How a thermal roof survey works in Sibley's Green
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. 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 ceilings below the roof, pitched roof slopes and loft conversions, and people most often book us about moisture around outlets and upstands and water that travels before it shows.
Somewhere as small as Sibley's Green, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Weather and airspace are looked at before the visit, and the journey is planned in advance. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photo. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Common questions in Sibley's Green
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Sibley's Green?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Sibley's Green?
Yes, Sibley's Green is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
What insurance do you have?
Professional indemnity and public liability insurance cover our surveys. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
When does the report arrive?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What happens next?
We email you the written report with photos and recommendations. It is yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.

Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Sibley's Green
After a long-running leak, insulation under a flat roof can stay wet. Knowing how much of the roof is affected helps decide between a local repair and more. A thermal survey, checked with moisture readings, can give a much clearer picture.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
Anyone responsible for a site like Putteridge High School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Tips that help
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- Keep a record of when stains appear
Buyers can use the findings when talking to the seller or agent. It’s your decision how to use it, whether that’s asking for work or discussing the price.
Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof in suitable weather.
