Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Sutton Wick
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. It also includes a drone inspection where it applies, a structural analysis and a same-day report. There is an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. If you’ve noticed missing or slipped insulation and ceilings that feel colder in places, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Sutton Wick, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from ground level. Weather and airspace are looked at ahead of the visit. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: a seller or estate agent, an insurer, a roofer, a builder or a managing agent.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Without thermal imaging, the only way to see how far water has spread is frequently to open up the roof. That helps you and your roofer decide what really needs replacing. For older village homes like those around Sutton Wick, the right replacement materials aren’t always easy to find quickly. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £400, including VAT.

The survey, step by step
Time on site depends on the size and shape of the roof, but as a rough guide the survey takes an hour or two for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Older rural homes like those around Sutton Wick can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we can’t see is noted.
- 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.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Before we arrive
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Gather any invoices or paperwork from past roof work
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Airspace, weather and Sutton Wick roofs
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Historic houses such as Clifton Hampden Manor, about 4.2 miles east, show how far back building in the area around Sutton Wick goes. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
If you look after a building such as Drayton Community Primary School, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.

Common roof problems in Sutton Wick
After a long-running leak, insulation under a flat roof can stay wet. Owners want to know how far it has spread before deciding what to do. Thermal images and moisture readings together can show the likely extent.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
For an older house near a landmark like Church of Saint Peter, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
- Whether the loft space is looked at, where there is one
- What insurance they carry
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Sutton Wick
Do you carry out roof surveys in Sutton Wick?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
How do I find out if my home in Sutton Wick is listed?
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.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
Thermal images can suggest where heat is escaping and where insulation may be missing. The survey isn’t an energy rating or a heat loss calculation, but the report shows where to look more closely.
Do you test for asbestos?
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.
When does the report arrive?
It depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. Reports are sent by email.
What you can safely check yourself
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos, which helps you plan work between tenancies.
For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait.
