Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Stanwell Moor
Wet insulation under a flat roof covering holds heat for longer than dry. 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, something you can’t typically tell from the surface. We then check those areas with moisture readings. We survey insulated roof spaces, commercial roofs and flat roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are cold spots on ceilings under the roof and wet areas near outlets and upstands.
Somewhere as small as Stanwell Moor, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Tips from our surveys
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- Keep a record of when stains appear
If the images suggest moisture that cannot be confirmed, we will say what would help next, for example electronic leak detection or a roofer opening up a small section.
Clear outlets and gutters regularly, so water does not sit on the roof. Less standing water means less chance of it getting under the covering.
Honest limits
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Keep these in mind:
- Confirming water without moisture readings
- An energy rating for the building
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Stanwell Moor
Can you fly a drone over a roof in Stanwell Moor?
It depends on the exact address and the weather on the day. Stanwell Moor is inside, or right on the edge of, the flight restriction zone around Heathrow Airport. Before any flight there, we ask the airport for permission, and the flight only goes ahead if it is given. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and the rest of the survey doesn’t depend on the drone.
Is Stanwell Moor within the area you cover?
Yes, Stanwell Moor is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How many surveys have you done?
We have more than 20 years’ experience and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
Thermal images can suggest where heat is escaping and where insulation may be missing. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations, but the report shows where to look more closely.
How much does a thermal roof survey cost?
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.
Does someone need to be in?
If the survey includes the loft or the inside of the building, someone needs to let us in. We will talk about access when booking.
What can thermal imaging tell me about my roof?
It records surface temperature across the roof. Unusual patterns can point to trapped water, gaps in insulation or heat escaping, which we then check with moisture readings.
How the survey changes by roof type
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.
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP surfaces can be shiny, which affects thermal readings. We take that into account and check findings with moisture readings.

Drones, thermal imaging and Stanwell Moor roofs
Stanwell Moor is inside, or right on the edge of, the flight restriction zone around Heathrow Airport. If the drone is used for your survey, we ask the airport for permission first, and only fly if it is given. With Frogmore House about 4.1 miles west, Stanwell Moor sits in an area with a long building history. On older houses around here, roofs frequently carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take an older house close to Church of St Mary: thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image. Hotels and guest houses near Stanwell Moor cannot easily close rooms for a leak. If you look after a building like Town Farm Primary School & Nursery, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.

How the survey works
Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect everything that’s safely in view, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Around Stanwell Moor, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Getting ready for the survey
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Note where any stains or damp appear
How to book
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so there’s time to use the report before exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.
Advice
DIY checks: what’s safe
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
A DIY look is useful, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
