Thermal roof survey in Stonor: what you get
Thermal imaging is a useful tool, but it has limits. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. Our report says plainly what the camera picked up and how sure we can be. Where something cannot be confirmed, we say what would help next. Typical surveys look at stains that keep coming back and damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys, on flat roofs, ceilings below the roof and loft conversions.
Villages like Stonor often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
After the visit, you get a photo-illustrated written report, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Common questions in Stonor
Do you cover smaller places like Stonor?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Stonor?
Yes, Stonor is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. Shared roofs just need a little more planning, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
It’s a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. The results depend on conditions on the day. Where it can’t be pinned down, the report suggests a next step, such as electronic leak detection.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when you book.
Honest limits
A survey is a careful look at the roof, but it can’t do everything. Its limits include:
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
- A structural engineer’s assessment
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture

How we price thermal roof surveys

All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £400, including VAT. We confirm the price for your roof before booking.
Getting in touch
Getting the details right at the start saves time. It helps to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
We survey roofs on weekdays and at weekends. To find a date that works for you, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Useful tips for Stonor property owners
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Check the loft can be reached safely
- File the images with your roof records
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
Many people send the report to roofers, who can then quote for the areas shown. Because the images are paired with photos, it’s easy to find each area on the roof.
Watch for new damp patches on ceilings beneath the roof. Early action keeps insulation from staying wet.
Drones, thermal imaging and Stonor roofs
Older buildings in west Oxfordshire often have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up photos from the air and thermal images help. About 0.5 miles south-east lies Stonor Park, a reminder of how long the area around Stonor has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Stonor is about 5 miles north of Henley-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire. We carry out thermal roof surveys in Stonor for houses, flats, blocks and commercial buildings. Stonor is one of the towns and villages in Oxfordshire we cover for thermal roof surveys. Reading is in our area too.

Common roof problems in Stonor
Flat roofs that have leaked for a while can have wet insulation under the covering. Owners want to know how far it has spread before deciding what to do. A thermal survey, checked with moisture readings, can give a much clearer picture.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
The streets around a church such as Pishill Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, which helps when we look at the roof.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we’ll get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Stonor, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- 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.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Keep pets in another room
