Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Stonehill Green
Do you cover smaller places like Stonehill Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Stonehill Green in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Stonehill Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Does the weather affect a thermal survey?
Conditions on the day affect the results. It works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind. Rain, wind and heavy cloud can weaken the patterns, so we talk through the forecast when booking.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings and suggest a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before any work.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys can be booked for any day of the week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you as you book.
How long will you be at the property?
It usually takes between one and two hours at most homes; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. We’ll confirm the timing when booking.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
It can help narrow down where water may be getting in. Water can travel under a covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help follow it. It is used alongside a close inspection and moisture readings, as the camera alone can’t prove a leak.
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Stonehill Green
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, so it’s easy to see which part of the roof each one shows. We explain what each pattern may mean, what the moisture readings found and what we recommend. With a Premium Survey, the report reaches you the same day. You can talk the findings through with us at the in-person consultation. There is a 12-month follow-up as well. Common reasons to book are water getting in at parapets and stacks and water that travels before it shows, across loft conversions, flat roofs and commercial roofs.
Older buildings in small places like Stonehill Green may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager doesn’t touch the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what isn’t.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, a roof survey has limits:
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
- A formal energy assessment
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough

Do you need a thermal roof survey in Stonehill Green?
Flat roofs that have leaked for a while can have wet insulation under the covering. Knowing how much of the roof is affected helps decide between a local repair and more. A thermal survey, checked with moisture readings, can give a much clearer picture.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Gaps in loft insulation
If you look after a building like Hextable School, big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Leave it or get it looked at?
Wet insulation under a flat roof does not dry out on its own while the covering stays on. Over time, it insulates less well and can harm the deck. Finding the wet areas sooner keeps the work smaller. In a place like Stonehill Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

Flying and imaging in Stonehill Green
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. About 2.4 miles north lies Hall Place and Gardens, a reminder of how long the area around Stonehill Green has been built on. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead.
If you live in an older home near St Peter, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps. For businesses in and around places like Broadway Shopping Centre, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it.

How the survey works
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it’s applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes an hour or two for a house, and more on a big or complicated roof. Somewhere like Stonehill Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Getting ready for the survey
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
