About our thermal roof survey in Uffington
A thermal survey isn’t a quick fix for every roof problem. Sun, shade, reflective surfaces and wind can all change what the camera shows. That’s why we check findings with moisture readings and a close visual inspection. The report is clear about what the images show and what they don’t. Where something can’t be confirmed, we say what would help next. If you’re worried about leaks far from where the stain appears and damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Uffington, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Some tips:
- Check the loft can be reached safely
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- Heat the home normally on the days before
We note the weather and surface conditions, and how they may have affected the results. That way you know how much weight to give each finding.
Have small defects in the covering fixed early. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.
Uffington questions
Do you cover smaller places like Uffington?
Yes. Uffington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. 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.
Do you cover Uffington?
Yes, Uffington is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
Will you go up on the roof?
Only when it’s safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where applicable, a drone, and anything out of sight is recorded in the report.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take about 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. The written report follows by email.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. Photographs are part of every report, so you can see each point for yourself.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
It’s a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. The results depend on conditions on the day. Where it cannot be pinned down, the report suggests a next step, such as electronic leak detection.
Do I need to be at home?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.

What we do, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so the report shows exactly what we saw. We take close-ups from wherever is safe, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. A typical visit takes about 1–2 hours for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Around Uffington, older homes can have small or awkward roof spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. We only go where it’s safe.
- First we go over the roof, the problem you’ve noticed and the conditions forecast for the visit.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can be seen safely.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Leave side gates unlocked

What we look for on each type of roof
GRP fibreglass roofs
Cracks in GRP can let water into the boards beneath. We combine a visual check of cracks with the thermal images around them.
Loft insulation
In the loft space, the camera can pick up gaps and thin areas of insulation. We inspect the loft where it can be reached safely.
When you need someone else
To be straight with you, there are limits to any roof survey:
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
- The condition of timbers we can’t see
- Proving moisture from the images alone

Airspace, weather and Uffington roofs
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. With Ashdown House about 4.8 miles south, Uffington 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Uffington Church of England Primary School, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once. For an older house near a landmark like Church of St Mary, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.
