DIY checks: what’s safe
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and falls from height are serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Stanford Dingley
On a flat roof, wet insulation holds heat longer than dry insulation. So a wet patch can show as a warmer or cooler area on the camera. It helps us see how far water may have spread under the covering, which is hard to judge by eye. We then check those areas with moisture readings. If you are worried about cold spots on ceilings under the roof and water getting in at parapets and stacks, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Stanford Dingley, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you cannot get from the ground. Weather and airspace are checked 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.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Letting agents can arrange access with tenants. We survey on weekdays and at weekends, which helps when tenants work during the week.
What we do, step by step
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs. On timing, most surveys take an hour or two for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. For a village or hamlet like Stanford Dingley, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Leave side gates unlocked

How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched slate and tile roofs
On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s happening underneath. We back up what the camera shows with a look in the loft where we can.
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP surfaces can be shiny, which affects thermal readings. We allow for reflections and confirm findings with moisture readings.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A damp patch that keeps coming back normally has a cause that hasn’t been found. Thermal imaging with moisture readings can help narrow it down, instead of trying repair after repair. For older village homes like those around Stanford Dingley, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
