What this survey cannot tell you

- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
- Confirming water without moisture readings

Thermal roof survey in Sunnymead: what you get
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. It also includes a drone inspection where it applies, a structural analysis and a same-day report. There’s an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We survey loft conversions, insulated roof spaces and ceilings below the roof, and common reasons people get in touch are possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering and stains that keep coming back.
Even in a smaller place like Sunnymead, there may be airfields or restrictions nearby, so every drone flight starts with a check of the Drone Safety Map. Exposed sites can be windy, and a small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind. Each flight is planned with neighbours’ privacy in mind, as well as the airspace and the wind.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent.

What you can safely check yourself
It’s useful to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Drones, thermal imaging and Sunnymead roofs
Within a mile and a half or so of Sunnymead there are several hotels. For hotels and other commercial buildings, large roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Take a building like Cutteslowe Primary School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. Hotels and guest houses near Sunnymead can’t easily close rooms for a leak, so it’s worth knowing the roof’s condition. If you live in an older home near Roman Catholic Church of St Gregory and St Augustine, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.

FAQs for Sunnymead
Will you come out to Sunnymead?
Yes. Sunnymead is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work right across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
How do I find out if my home in Sunnymead is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only if it is safe. We inspect whatever is safely visible: from ground level, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
How quickly is the report sent?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, tell us when booking.
How experienced are you?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
What’s the best way to book?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are normally harder to read. The air space under slates and tiles can hide patterns, so we combine it with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access.
Tips from our surveys
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
- Check the loft can be reached safely
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Tell us where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
If you’re buying, the report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. What you do with it is up to you, whether that is asking for work or discussing the price.
Keep outlets and gutters clear so water drains off the roof quickly. Less standing water means less chance of it getting under the covering.
How it works
When we arrive, we start by asking what you’ve noticed and what you want to find out. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from ground level, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. Most surveys take an hour or two at a typical home, or half a day or so for a commercial building. A visit to a smaller place like Sunnymead is no different on the day: outside, inside and from any safe vantage point, in that order. Point out any stains, cracks or loose pieces you’ve spotted.
- You tell us 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.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Getting ready for the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
