About our thermal roof survey in Tyringham
Thermal imaging is useful when a damp patch has no clear cause. Leaks often run along a roof before they appear on a ceiling, and temperature patterns can help us trace where it may have come from. The images are used alongside a visual inspection and moisture readings, so no conclusion rests on one method alone. Common reasons to book are cold areas below the roof and damp around chimneys and parapets, on insulated roof spaces, loft conversions and commercial roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Tyringham are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
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. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Roof by roof
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Even on pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp. We explain what can and cannot be read from them.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Water can get through cracked GRP into the deck. We check cracks by eye and use the images to see whether there is a pattern around them.
Thermal roof surveys around Tyringham
Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from ground level, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
The streets around a church like Church of St Peter are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view by drone or thermal camera helps. With Linford Manor about 3 miles south, the area around Tyringham has a long history. Close-up aerial shots and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it.

What else we do in Tyringham
Landlords, agents and block managers in Tyringham
A roof problem in a let property affects your tenants as well as the building. A survey shows what needs attention, so you can plan the work.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Let us know about it when you book and we’ll plan the visit with that in mind.
Checking the roof from the ground
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way. That is where a survey comes in.
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 we are asked to look at in Tyringham
Buyers sometimes want more than a visual look at the roof. A Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where applicable and a same-day report, which suits a purchase that is moving quickly.
Look out for signs like these:
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Leaks that are hard to trace
For site and facilities teams at buildings like Ousedale School, big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.

Tyringham: your questions answered
Do you cover Tyringham?
Yes. We work right across London and South East England, and Tyringham is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
Will you come out to Tyringham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What does a thermal roof survey show?
It records surface temperature across the roof. Differences can suggest wet areas, missing insulation or heat loss, and we check them with moisture readings.
Does the report include photos?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible.
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’re allowed to reach.
Does thermal imaging detect leaks directly?
The camera does not see water itself. Wet insulation holds heat longer than dry, so it can stand out, but we check each finding with moisture readings.
How many surveys have you done?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
How it works
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that’s worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely. The survey usually takes about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere like Tyringham needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s 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.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
How to prepare
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
Getting a price
Every survey is priced before it is booked, so you know where you stand. Our price is from £400, including VAT. To book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Advice
How we price thermal roof surveys
We confirm the price for the job before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- How big the roof is
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.
Helping us price your survey
Getting the details right at the start saves time. Please include:
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Anything about access we should know
- What kind of property and roof it is
- What’s prompted the survey
Once you know what you need, phone 07833 053749 or email us. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
