If a big flat roof may need replacing, knowing the wet areas first is useful. Images backed by moisture readings show where problems seem to be before you spend. For older village homes like those around Standon Green End, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That is one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.

Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Standon Green End
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, so it is easy to see which part of the roof each one shows. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. Premium reports are sent the same day. You can talk the findings through with us at the in-person consultation. There is a 12-month follow-up as well. We’re often asked to look into leaks far from where the stain appears and possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering, across ceilings below the roof, pitched roof slopes and insulated roof spaces.
Older buildings in small places like Standon Green End may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager doesn’t touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
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 photograph. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

What a survey costs
What a survey costs depends on the time and equipment it needs. The main factors are:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How big the roof is
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, with VAT included. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
Getting in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to let us know:
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The kind of building and roof involved
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or email us. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
FAQs for Standon Green End
Is my home in Standon Green End listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Standon Green End?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Standon Green End is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
What does the report include?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photographs. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We note visible signs such as sagging or deflection, but we do not carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. We use safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where applicable.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are normally harder to read. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we combine it with an inspection from the loft where there is safe access.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Landlords and agents in Standon Green End book surveys as well as homeowners. A report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
What happens on the day
The visit has one job: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It normally takes an hour or two at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. In a hamlet or village like Standon Green End, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions are welcome. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- You let us know about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Before the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
Getting a price
A quick phone call is normally the easiest start: phone 07833 053749 or email us. The price is agreed before a date is set.

Common roof problems in Standon Green End
Cold rooms under a roof, or high heating bills, lead some people to ask about heat loss. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated roof areas can show up on the camera, particularly when there’s a clear difference between inside and outside.
Problems we come across frequently include:
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
The streets around a church such as St Mary's are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Their insurance cover
Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
If you are buying, the report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. What you do with it is up to you, whether that’s asking for work or discussing the price.
After repairs or a new covering, a later survey can confirm things are dry, when the conditions are suitable.
