About our thermal roof survey in Upper Eashing
A thermal survey is not 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. If a finding cannot be confirmed, the report suggests a next step. We survey commercial roofs, pitched roof slopes and flat roofs, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are thin or uneven insulation in the roof and moisture around outlets and upstands.
Some older homes in villages like Upper Eashing are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it’s a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
Most points in the report come with a picture, so you can see each defect rather than just read about it. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

When to book a survey in Upper Eashing
Once a leak has been fixed, people often ask whether the roof is still wet. Thermal images and moisture readings can suggest whether moisture is still trapped, given suitable conditions on the day.
Common reasons to book include:
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
Take an older house close to St Mark's Church and Community Centre: thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
What to check before booking
- Their report turnaround times
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- How they’ll see the roof: from ground level, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
How the survey works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours for a house; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. For a village or hamlet like Upper Eashing, the journey is planned ahead of time: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- 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.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
How to prepare
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building

Related advice
How the survey changes by roof type
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Single-ply PVC, TPO and EPDM roofs are often laid over insulation boards. Wet boards can show as temperature differences on the images.
Loft insulation
The difference is clearest when the home is heated and it’s cold out. We explain in the report how the conditions on the day affected what we saw.
Common questions in Upper Eashing
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Upper Eashing?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Upper Eashing?
Yes, Upper Eashing is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only if it is safe. We look at everything that can be seen safely: from ground level, from windows, from inside the roof space, from the roof where it is safe and by drone where it applies. Anything we cannot see is noted in the report.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and sampling aren’t something we do. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it is disturbed.
How long will you be at the property?
It usually takes between one and two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. The written report follows by email.
Can you do a thermal survey in any weather?
Conditions on the day have a big effect on what the camera can show. A dry surface, little wind and a sunny spell beforehand help most. Our report notes the conditions and how they affected the findings.
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.
For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents often book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Thermal roof surveys in Upper Eashing: local notes
Loseley Park, about 2.7 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Upper Eashing. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up photos from the air and thermal images help.
If you look after a building like St Mark and All Saints Church of England Primary, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.

Leave it or get it looked at?
If a big flat roof may need replacing, knowing the wet areas first is useful. Thermal imaging, checked with moisture readings, gives a clearer picture before you spend. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Upper Eashing, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.

What you can safely check yourself
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.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Share it with us when booking.
