Standon Thermal Roof Survey

- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Cold areas below the roof
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
Thermal roof survey in Standon: what you get
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. 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 phone 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. If you are worried about thin or uneven insulation in the roof and wet insulation beneath the membrane, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Standon, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it is clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Roof by roof
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
On felt and asphalt flat roofs, wet insulation can show as a temperature difference across the surface. We check those patches with moisture readings.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Thermal images of a pitched roof can still show heat loss patterns and some damp areas. The report explains what the images can tell you and what they can’t.
What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- The size of the roof
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- What’s prompted the survey
- The address and postcode of the property
- What kind of property and roof it is
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form. From there it is a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.
Checking the roof from the ground
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we check the roof.
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: 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.
Tips from our surveys
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Don’t switch the heating off before the visit
- File the images with your roof records
You also get an in-person consultation with a Premium Survey, so you can go through the images with us. A follow-up 12 months later is included as well.
Have small defects in the covering fixed early. Once water gets under a membrane, it can travel far before it appears inside.
What this survey cannot tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and it is better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- A formal energy assessment
- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will point you to the right survey. What our survey covers.
What we look at
- Insulated roof spaces
- Loft conversions
- Pitched roof slopes
- Ceilings below the roof
- Flat roofs
- Commercial roofs
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to do much on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes between one and two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Rural addresses near Standon can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
How to prepare
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Make sure pets are kept safely away

Advice
Questions from Standon
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Standon?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do you cover Standon?
Yes, Standon is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. If you need details for a managing agent or a building owner, just ask.
Which survey includes thermal imaging?
Thermal imaging is included in our Premium Survey, from £400. The Premium Survey also covers a full inspection, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a report on the same day.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
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 combine it with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access.
How fast do I get the report?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. Reports are sent by email.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found, so you can see each point for yourself.

Thermal roof surveys around Standon
About 2.7 miles south-east lies Much Hadham Palace, a reminder of how long the area around Standon has been built on. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Many roofs like these can’t be judged properly from the pavement, and that’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mary are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps. If you look after a building such as Roger De Clare First CofE School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
