Thermal roof survey in Sutton Scotney: what you get
Flat roofs over extensions, garages, flats and commercial buildings are where thermal imaging often helps most. It can show patterns that point to trapped moisture under the membrane. On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can hide what’s below, so we combine the camera with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access. If you’ve noticed thin or uneven insulation in the roof and possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering, we can find out what’s behind it, whatever the roof.
Villages like Sutton Scotney often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. High wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

How the survey works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Older roofs in small places like Sutton Scotney can have low, tight loft spaces, so it is useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- 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.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
How to book

Common roof problems in Sutton Scotney
Building owners and managing agents use thermal surveys to plan work on larger flat roofs. Patterns can point to wet areas and show which parts look sound, so we know where to take moisture readings.
Look out for signs like these:
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Leaks that are hard to trace
Take an older house close to Ebenezer Methodist Chapel: older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.

Useful tips for Sutton Scotney property owners
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. Here’s what helps most:
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Check from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
Premium Surveys include an in-person consultation, so you can go through the images with us. There is a 12-month follow-up too.
Have small defects in the covering fixed early. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.
Prices for thermal roof surveys in Sutton Scotney
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The roof’s overall size
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before booking.

- Any marks or damp showing indoors
