FAQs for St George's Hill
Do you cover smaller places like St George's Hill?
Yes, St George's Hill is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you cover St George's Hill?
We do. The survey and report are the same in St George's Hill as anywhere else.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
On pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp patterns. We explain what the images can and cannot tell you, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in St George's Hill?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
Thermal imaging can help, alongside other checks. The results depend on conditions on the day. Where it can’t be pinned down, the report suggests a next step, such as electronic leak detection.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
The camera can point to heat loss and gaps in insulation. The survey is not an energy rating or a heat loss calculation, but the report shows where to look more closely.
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in St George's Hill
A thermal survey isn’t a quick fix for every roof problem. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. That is why we check findings with moisture readings and a close visual inspection. Our report says plainly what the camera picked up and how sure we can be. Where something cannot be confirmed, we say what would help next. We survey ceilings below the roof, commercial roofs and flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are gaps in loft insulation and leaks far from where the stain appears.
Even in a smaller place like St George's Hill, there may be airfields or restrictions nearby, so the Drone Safety Map is checked before any flight. Exposed sites can be windy, and a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind, while thermal imaging also works best with little wind. Each flight is planned with neighbours’ privacy in mind, as well as the airspace and the wind.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

- Loft conversions
- Insulated roof spaces
Different roofs, different checks
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Junctions where roofs meet walls, parapets and valleys are common places for water to get in. Thermal imaging can help show damp patterns around them.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Many single-ply and EPDM roofs sit on insulation boards. If water gets under them, thermal imaging can suggest which boards are wet.
Tips that help
You do not need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- File the images with your roof records
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- Tell us where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
Buyers can use the findings when talking to the seller or agent. It’s your decision how to use it, whether that is asking for work or discussing the price.
Deal with small splits and lifted seams promptly. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.
What we do, step by step
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Parking around St George's Hill is normally 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, while taller roofs may need other vantage points or the drone where it applies.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there’s safe access, in the loft.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before we arrive
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Jot down any questions you want answered
Getting a price
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, and we’ll ask about the building and what you need. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
Advice
Leave it or get it looked at?
For buyers, a thermal survey adds detail that a visual inspection cannot give. Hidden problems found before exchange can be raised with the seller or agent. Around St George's Hill, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
There are three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.

Checking the roof from ground level
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
Thermal roof surveys around St George's Hill
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Within a mile and a half or so of St George's Hill there are several hotels, and like offices and blocks, hotels frequently sit under flat roofs. If you look after one, a large roof can be surveyed without guests having anyone working above them.
A roof leak in a hotel or guest house around St George's Hill means lost rooms as well as repairs, so it pays to find faults before guests do. Take an older house close to United Reform Church: 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 Manby Lodge Infant School will know that big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.
