Tokers Green Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Tokers Green. We have completed more than 5,000 surveys across London and South East England.
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
When you need someone else
We only report what can be seen safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations
- A structural engineer’s assessment
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will point you to the right survey before you book. What our survey covers.
Roofs we survey in Tokers Green
- Commercial roofs

How a thermal roof survey works in Tokers Green
Thermal imaging can also show where a roof is losing heat. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves often show up as temperature differences. The difference shows most clearly when it’s warm inside and cold outside. Our report points out what the images suggest and where to look more closely. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. Common reasons to book are cold spots on ceilings under the roof and heat escaping through the roof, on pitched roof slopes, flat roofs and insulated roof spaces.
In a village or hamlet like Tokers Green, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Weather and airspace are checked before the visit. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Common roof problems in Tokers Green
Flat roofs that have leaked for a while can have wet insulation under the covering. 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.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Broad Street Mall, large commercial roofs are frequently easiest to see from the air or with a thermal camera.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether VAT is added on top
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
Questions from Tokers Green
Will you come out to Tokers Green?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
How do I find out if my home in Tokers Green is listed?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes, if the freeholder or managing agent agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we are allowed to reach.
Do you survey on Saturdays and Sundays?
We survey on any day from Monday to Sunday, during the day, which suits people who work during the week. Let us know your preferred days when booking.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We point out what can be seen, such as sagging or deflection, but we don’t carry out calculations or give an engineer’s opinion. Where an engineer is needed, we say so in the report.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
Conditions on the day affect the results. It works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind. Rain and strong wind can make the images less clear, so we discuss the forecast when booking.
What happens after the survey?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. It’s yours to share with a seller, insurer, roofer or managing agent, whichever applies.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That part is for a survey.
Airspace, weather and Tokers Green roofs
With Mapledurham House about 1.9 miles west, Tokers Green sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St John the Baptist, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help. Anyone responsible for a site like Kidmore End Church of England Primary School will know that big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.
Tokers Green is about 2 miles north-west of Caversham, in Reading. If you are in Tokers Green, booking works exactly as it does anywhere else: a call or an email, a price, then a date. Tokers Green is one of the towns and villages in Reading we cover for thermal roof surveys.

What happens on the day
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photographs, emailed to you. On timing, it normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Older roofs in small places like Tokers Green can have low, tight loft spaces, so let us know about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Why it’s worth a survey now in Tokers Green
The longer moisture sits in a roof, the more it can affect timbers and finishes below. Looking now, while the damage may still be limited, keeps more options open. In a small place like Tokers Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Prices start from £150, including VAT, for a Basic Survey. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both with VAT included. You will know the price for your roof before booking.
Why us?
- Package prices that include VAT
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Independent findings on the roof’s condition
- Professional indemnity and public liability insurance

Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
- Keep a record of when stains appear
After the visit, we put the thermal images, photographs and moisture readings into one report. Each image is explained in plain words, alongside what we recommend. With a Premium Survey, you get the report the same day.
Deal with small splits and lifted seams promptly. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.
