Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in St Cross
Our thermal survey records how the surface temperature varies across your roof. Those patterns can point to trapped moisture, missing insulation or heat escaping. It’s important to know that the camera shows temperature, not water, so findings are checked with moisture readings. It comes as part of our Premium Survey, from £400. The report also notes the conditions on the day, since they affect what the camera can show. We survey pitched roof slopes, commercial roofs and flat roofs, and people most frequently book us about damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys and leaks far from where the stain appears.
Around St Cross, older homes can have thin loft insulation and later additions with roofs of their own. Thermal patterns and close-up photos together give a fuller picture of the roof. Anything that looks like moisture is checked with a meter. Calm, dry weather suits both methods, so the date is set with the forecast in mind.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What we’re asked to look at in St Cross
Flat roofs that have leaked for a while can have wet insulation under the covering. Knowing how much of the roof is affected helps decide between a local repair and more. Thermal images and moisture readings together can show the likely extent.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Water that travels before it shows
The streets around a church such as St. Cross Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Whether you get a written report with photos
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Which limits apply to the survey
Can I check my roof myself?
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
How the survey changes by roof type
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
On felt and asphalt flat roofs, wet insulation can show as a temperature difference across the surface. Moisture readings are used to check them.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Thin membranes can show patterns from the layers beneath. Shiny surfaces can reflect heat, so we take care reading the images.
Drones, thermal imaging and St Cross roofs
St Cross has a number of hotels within about a mile and a half. For hotels and other commercial buildings, large roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Faith's Church of England Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around St Cross means lost rooms as well as repairs.

St Cross questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in St Cross?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like St Cross?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work right across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when booking.
How experienced are you?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
What’s in the report?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, and ends with what we recommend. Points are put with the most urgent first where relevant.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?
It can help, but the results are often less clear than on a flat roof. The air space under slates and tiles can hide patterns, so we also look from the loft where it is safe.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
Conditions on the day have a big effect on what the camera can show. 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.
What we cannot see
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Keep these in mind:
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
- A structural engineer’s assessment
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll point you to the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.

The survey, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: a purchase, a leak, a storm, new work or simply peace of mind. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. The visit typically takes an hour or two at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. A visit to St Cross is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. Let us know about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- First we go over the roof, the problem you’ve noticed and the conditions forecast for the visit.
- 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.
- Areas that look unusual on the camera are checked with moisture readings where possible.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Check pets are kept safely away
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
