About our thermal roof survey in Tyler's Green
A thermal survey can point to places where heat is escaping through the roof. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated areas can stand out on the images. The difference shows most clearly when it is 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. If you’re worried about wet insulation beneath the membrane and damp that repairs haven’t cured, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a village or hamlet like Tyler's Green, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you cannot get from ground level. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned ahead of time. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets, each with a short note and a photo. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Checking the roof from ground level
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That part is for a survey.
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: 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 affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- How big the roof is
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
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 it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £400, including VAT.
Getting in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Access details, like a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The kind of building and roof involved
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or email us. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day, weekday or weekend.
Tyler's Green: your questions answered
Are there drone restrictions around Tyler's Green?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. The flight restriction zone around Redhill Aerodrome comes within about 2 miles of Tyler's Green. We check the exact boundary for the address before flying, and if the roof falls inside it, we ask for permission first. High wind or heavy rain also stops a small drone flying, and the rest of the survey doesn’t depend on the drone.
Will you come out to Tyler's Green?
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 when booking.
Do you test for asbestos?
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.
Will I get photos?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found, so you can see each point for yourself.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it’s safe. We inspect everything that’s safely in view: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the loft space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. The report says if anything couldn’t be seen.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are normally harder to read. The air space under slates and tiles can hide patterns, so we also look from the loft where it’s safe.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Why get it checked now?
Once insulation under a membrane is wet, it tends to stay wet. In time, it stops insulating properly and can damage the deck. Finding them early can mean a smaller job. Older and listed buildings around Tyler's Green may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.

Thermal roof surveys around Tyler's Green
Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. The flight restriction zone around Redhill Aerodrome comes within about 2 miles of Tyler's Green. If your survey includes the drone, the exact boundary is checked for the address first.
Titsey Place, about 3.9 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Tyler's Green. Older roofs nearby can be steep and hard to see from the ground, and a survey by drone or thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof itself. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Godstone Village School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. Take an older house close to Church of St Nicholas: older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.

What happens on the day
We look at the roof from outside and, where it is relevant and there’s safe access, from inside the loft space too. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey normally takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. For a village or hamlet like Tyler's Green, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.

What we can’t see
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check
