Thermal roof survey in Tandridge: what you get
A thermal survey can point to places where heat is escaping through the roof. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves often show up as temperature differences. It works best when the building is heated and it is colder outside. Our report points out what the images suggest and where to look more closely. It isn’t an energy rating or a heat loss calculation. If you’ve noticed moisture around outlets and upstands and possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Older buildings in small places like Tandridge may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera does not touch the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Photos show what each point refers to, and recommendations are put in order of urgency where relevant.

Thermal roof surveys in Tandridge: local notes
Historic houses like Titsey Place, about 3.4 miles north-east, show how far back building in the area around Tandridge goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. The flight restriction zone around Redhill Aerodrome comes within about 2 miles of Tandridge. If your survey includes the drone, the exact boundary is checked for the address first.
Anyone responsible for a site like St Peter's CofE Infant School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Tandridge is about 2 miles south-west of Oxted, in Surrey. We survey roofs in Tandridge as part of our work across London and the South East. Our Surrey coverage includes Tandridge and the places around it. Crawley is in our area too.

Checking the roof from the ground
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
What we look for on each type of roof
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Many single-ply and EPDM roofs sit on insulation boards. If water gets under them, thermal imaging can suggest which boards are wet.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
When valley or parapet gutters overflow, water can get into walls and ceilings. We use the camera and moisture readings to help follow it.
What this survey cannot tell you
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
- An energy rating for the building
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
If you are not sure which survey you need, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking. The full list of what we check.

FAQs for Tandridge
Is drone flying allowed in Tandridge?
Usually it comes down to two things: the airspace at the address and the weather. Tandridge is about 2 miles from the edge of the flight restriction zone around Redhill Aerodrome. We check the exact boundary for the address before flying, and if the roof falls inside it, we ask for permission first. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
How do I find out if my home in Tandridge 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.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Just let us know the days that suit you.
When does the report arrive?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
How long is the visit?
That depends on the size and shape of the roof, but most surveys take an hour or two at most homes, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Tandridge
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, which helps with budgets and planning.
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.
Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Tandridge
Not every roof problem shows on the surface. Wet insulation, gaps in insulation and heat loss are frequently invisible from outside. Thermal imaging gives us another way to look for them.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Peter, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- What happens after the report arrives
- Will the report include photos?
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- How much experience they have with roofs like yours
How it works
We don’t take risks to get a closer look. Everything that can be seen safely is inspected, and anything we cannot see is noted in the report. Most visits take between one and two hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Rural addresses near Tandridge can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there is safe access, in the loft.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
Booking a survey
Photos help, if you have them. Pictures from the ground or a window are fine; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
