Stockcross Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof in Stockcross. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Stains that keep coming back
What we’re asked to look at in Stockcross
After a repair, some owners want to know whether the roof has dried out. Thermal images and moisture readings can suggest whether moisture is still trapped when the conditions on the day are suitable.
It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Heat escaping through the roof
Take an older house close to Church of St John: older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
Before you book anyone
- What insurance they carry
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
Thermal roof survey in Stockcross: what you get
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. It also includes a drone inspection where applicable, a structural analysis and a same-day report. There is an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. If you’ve noticed cold areas below the roof and leaks that are hard to trace, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Older buildings in small places like Stockcross may be listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, like when you want to compare after future work.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
How the survey works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there’s safe access. All told, expect an hour or two at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Stockcross, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there is safe access, in the loft.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before we arrive
- If it is not your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Leave a clear route to the loft

Advice
Thermal roof surveys in Stockcross: local notes
Historic houses such as Benham Park, about 0.6 miles south-east, show how far back building in the area around Stockcross goes. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stockcross C.E. School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Different roofs, different checks
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP roofs are laid over timber boards, so trapped moisture can affect the deck. The camera can help show where to look.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Damp at junctions can be hard to see by eye. A careful visual inspection goes alongside the images.

Why it is worth a survey now in Stockcross
Before replacing a large flat roof, it helps to know how much of it is actually wet. Thermal imaging, checked with moisture readings, gives a clearer picture before you commit. For an older or listed building in a place like Stockcross, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Prices start from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
