Stuppington Thermal Roof Survey
Find out what’s going on with the roof before you decide what to do next. We carry out thermal roof surveys in Stuppington.
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
What we’re asked to look at in Stuppington
Some owners book because the rooms under the roof feel cold. Missing or slipped insulation can stand out as temperature differences, particularly when it is warm inside and cold outside.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
If you look after a building such as Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

- How soon the report will arrive
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see

About our thermal roof survey in Stuppington
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. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. Premium reports are sent 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. If you are worried about damp around roof outlets and upstands and cold spots on ceilings under the roof, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on pitched roof slopes, commercial roofs and flat roofs alike.
In a small place like Stuppington, open ground can mean strong wind. High wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later.

Useful tips for Stuppington property owners
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Make sure the loft can be reached safely
- File the images with your roof records
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
You can pass the report to a roofer so they can see where the problem areas seem to be. Each thermal image is matched to a normal photo, so the areas are easy to locate.
Watch for new damp patches on ceilings beneath the roof. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
How we price thermal roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
Price depends partly on the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
What to let us know when you get in touch
You don’t need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to let us know:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The property’s address and postcode
- The kind of building and roof involved
Our price is from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
The survey, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where it applies. Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. In a small place like Stuppington, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Check we can get to the back of the property
Arrange a survey
Booking is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and give us some details about the property and we will explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.

For hotels and other commercial buildings, large roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.

Common questions in Stuppington
Do you carry out roof surveys in Stuppington?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Stuppington as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is my home in Stuppington listed or in a conservation area?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Are you insured?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. The report will say if you need an engineer.
What do I do with the report?
The report comes by email, and you decide the next step: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Some roofs are too steep or fragile to walk on safely. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
It is 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, like electronic leak detection.
Why get it checked now?
A poorly insulated roof loses heat year after year. The camera can point to gaps and thin areas in the insulation, so improvements can go where they’re needed. Older and listed buildings around Stuppington may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
