Tourner Bury Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof around Tourner Bury, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Weekday and weekend visits available.
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
Thermal roof survey in Tourner Bury: what you get
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. It works best when the building is heated and it’s colder outside. Our report points out what the images suggest and where to look more closely. It is not an energy rating or a heat loss calculation. If you’re worried about water getting in at parapets and stacks and leaks far from where the stain appears, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Somewhere as small as Tourner Bury, older roofs are frequently steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Weather and airspace are checked ahead of the visit, and the journey is planned ahead of time. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Why act early in Tourner Bury
Before replacing a large flat roof, it is useful to know how much of it is actually wet. Thermal imaging, checked with moisture readings, gives a clearer picture before you commit. Outbuildings and barns around Tourner Bury are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.

Can I check my roof myself?
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it, which helps when we look at the roof.
How the survey works
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes between one and two hours for most houses, while a commercial roof takes nearer three to four hours. If you have questions on the day, just ask. Older rural homes like those around Tourner Bury can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- 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 the survey
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Keep pets in another room

Tourner Bury: your questions answered
Is Tourner Bury in the area you cover?
Yes, Tourner Bury is within the area we cover. We survey roofs across London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and some details.
Is Tourner Bury within the area you cover?
Yes, Tourner Bury is on our map. A small place gets exactly the same survey as a big one, with the route planned beforehand.
Does this replace a RICS home survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. For the rest of the building, a RICS home survey is a separate job.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can help, but the results are frequently less clear than on a flat roof. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we also look from the loft where it is safe.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve been surveying roofs for over 20 years and have completed over 5,000 surveys.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
It can help narrow down where water may be getting in. Patterns can suggest where trapped water has spread. We combine it with a visual inspection and moisture readings because the camera cannot confirm water on its own.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Roof by roof
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Damp at junctions can be hard to see by eye. We combine a close visual check with the thermal images.
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP roofs are laid over timber boards, so trapped moisture can affect the deck. The camera can help show where to look.
Common roof problems in Tourner Bury
On big commercial and residential flat roofs, thermal imaging helps owners plan. Patterns can point to wet areas and show which parts look sound, so moisture readings can be targeted.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Stains that keep coming back
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Leaks that are hard to trace
Take a building like Mengham Junior School: big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.
