About our thermal roof survey in Stanswood
A thermal camera can help when the cause of damp is not obvious. Leaks frequently run along a roof before they appear on a ceiling, and temperature patterns can help us trace where it may have come from. The images are used alongside a visual inspection and moisture readings, so no conclusion rests on one method alone. We are often asked to look into stains that keep coming back and patches of heat loss across the roof, across insulated roof spaces, commercial roofs and ceilings below the roof.
Villages like Stanswood often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. Strong wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
The report does not just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend.

Why get it checked now?
Before replacing a large flat roof, it’s useful to know how much of it is actually wet. Images backed by moisture readings show where problems seem to be before you commit. In a place like Stanswood, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You’ll know the exact price before booking.

DIY checks: what’s safe
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.

Thermal roof surveys around Stanswood
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Stanswood, and wind off the sea can be strong. Calm, dry conditions after a sunny day suit thermal imaging best, so the visit is planned around the forecast. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St George, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image. Osborne House lies about 4.8 miles south-east, so building around Stanswood goes back a long way. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from the ground, and a survey from the air or with a thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof itself.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the loft space and by drone where it applies. The survey normally takes an hour or two for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Cottages and farmhouses around Stanswood frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- 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.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
How to prepare

Stanswood: your questions answered
Is Stanswood in the area you cover?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Stanswood is part of that. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Stanswood?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Mention it when you get in touch and we will explain what’s needed.
How much does a thermal roof survey cost?
It comes with our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. The Premium Survey also covers a full inspection, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
Conditions on the day have a big effect on what the camera can show. A dry surface, little wind and a sunny spell beforehand help most. We record the conditions in the report, so you know how much weight to give the images.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
What’s in the survey report?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photographs throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
What a survey costs
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Roof area
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- Which survey package you book
Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
