Thermal Roof Survey in Stoke D'Abernon

- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
Flying and imaging in Stoke D'Abernon
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. The Homewood, about 2 miles north, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Stoke D'Abernon. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof.
If you look after a building such as Parkside School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

How a thermal roof survey works in Stoke D'Abernon
Thermal imaging can also show where a roof is losing heat. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated areas can stand out on the images. The difference shows most clearly when it is warm inside and cold outside. Our report points out what the images suggest and where to look more closely. We don’t give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. If you’ve noticed damp around chimneys and parapets and damp patches with no obvious cause, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Stoke D'Abernon are 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 works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. You’ll see the good as well as the bad.

What this survey cannot tell you
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- An energy rating for the building
- Proving moisture from the images alone
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
Roof types and parts we check
- Flat roofs
- Pitched roof slopes
- Commercial roofs
- Ceilings below the roof
- Loft conversions
- Insulated roof spaces
Checking the roof from the ground
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us when booking.
What we’re asked to look at in Stoke D'Abernon
Cold rooms under a roof, or high heating bills, lead some people to ask about heat loss. Missing or slipped insulation can stand out as temperature differences, particularly when there is a clear difference between inside and outside.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Mary, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Stoke D'Abernon
Do you cover smaller places like Stoke D'Abernon?
Yes, Stoke D'Abernon is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
How do I find out if my home in Stoke D'Abernon is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. It matters most if you are planning to re-roof in a different material.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
It often helps show where to look. Water can travel under a covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help follow it. We combine it with a visual inspection and moisture readings, as the camera alone can’t prove a leak.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Just say which days work for you.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if the building owner or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found, so you can see each point for yourself.

What else we do in Stoke D'Abernon
How the survey works
The aim of the visit is simple: to look at the roof as closely as is safe and record what we find. Notes and photographs go into the written report. It typically takes between one and two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Stoke D'Abernon can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can be seen safely.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there is safe access.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Let us know about parking near the property

If you’re buying, it’s useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just phone 07833 053749 or email us when you’re ready.
