Tongham Thermal Roof Survey
Find out what’s going on with the roof before you spend money on it. We carry out thermal roof surveys in Tongham.
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Water that travels before it shows
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
What happens if roof problems are left?
Without thermal imaging, the only way to see how far water has spread is often to open up the roof. That helps you and your roofer decide what really needs replacing. Homes in smaller places like Tongham can face more weather, so a loose ridge or verge soon lets rain in. Each storm lifts it a little further, and water follows.
Prices start from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.
What you get with us
- Satisfaction rate of 98%
- Clear package prices, with VAT included

Thermal roof survey in Tongham: what you get
A thermal survey isn’t a quick fix for every roof problem. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. That is why we check findings with moisture readings and a close visual inspection. Our report says plainly what the camera picked up and how sure we can be. If a finding cannot be confirmed, the report suggests a next step. Typical surveys look at wet areas near outlets and upstands and leaks that are hard to trace, on ceilings below the roof, commercial roofs and loft conversions.
Even in a smaller place like Tongham, there may be airfields or restrictions nearby, so every drone flight starts with a check of the Drone Safety Map. Open ground can mean stronger wind, which also affects whether a small drone can fly, while thermal imaging also works best with little wind. Each flight is planned with neighbours’ privacy in mind, as well as the airspace and the wind.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, with a note and a photo for each point. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Checking the roof from the ground
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
The survey, step by step
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photographs as we go and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. A visit to Tongham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed ahead of time. Weekday and weekend visits are both possible. If there are outbuildings or garages you want looked at, mention them.
- We talk through the roof, any damp or leaks, and the weather expected on the day.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can be seen safely.
- A thermal camera records how the surface temperature varies across the roof.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there’s safe access.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
Before we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we’re coming

Drones, thermal imaging and Tongham roofs
About 3.1 miles east lies Wanborough Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Tongham has been built on. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from the ground, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Paul, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps. For site and facilities teams at buildings like St Paul's CofE Infant School & Nursery, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.

FAQs for Tongham
Is Tongham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Tongham?
Yes, Tongham is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
When does the report arrive?
Each package has its own report time. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline when you book.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
It is a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. The results depend on conditions on the day. Where it can’t be pinned down, the report suggests a next step, such as electronic leak detection.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
What does the report include?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photos. It also says if any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, so you know exactly what was covered.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
The camera can point to heat loss and gaps in insulation. The survey is not an energy rating or a heat loss calculation, but the report shows where to look more closely.
When you need someone else
Without opening up the roof, some things stay hidden, and that sets some limits:
- Confirming water without moisture readings
- The condition of timbers we can’t see
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
