About our thermal roof survey in Upper Eddington
Thermal imaging can also show where a roof is losing heat. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves frequently show up as temperature differences. It works best when the building is heated and it is colder outside. The report shows the images and explains what they may mean. It is not an energy rating or a heat loss calculation. Typical surveys look at water that travels before it shows and damp around chimneys and parapets, on insulated roof spaces, loft conversions and commercial roofs.
Some older homes in villages like Upper Eddington are listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera does not touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, 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.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Thermal images can suggest the extent of wet areas without cutting into the roof. That helps you and your roofer decide what really needs replacing. Outbuildings and barns around Upper Eddington are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. The price is confirmed before you book.
What you get with us

What we’re asked to look at in Upper Eddington
People frequently book a thermal survey when a damp patch has no obvious cause. A leak may start well away from where the stain appears. The camera helps narrow the search.
Problems we come across often include:
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Water that travels before it shows
- Heat escaping through the roof
If you own one of the older houses in the streets near Hungerford Methodist Church, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Will the report include photos?
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- Whether VAT is added on top
What we can’t see
Our survey is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
- A formal energy assessment
- Confirming water without moisture readings
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will point you to the right survey. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
What this survey covers
- Loft conversions
- Insulated roof spaces
- Pitched roof slopes
- Flat roofs
- Commercial roofs
- Ceilings below the roof
What we do, step by step
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit usually takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Cottages and farmhouses around Upper Eddington often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before we arrive
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- Check pets are kept safely away
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Booking a survey

Advice
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Upper Eddington
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so check with the council.
Anyone responsible for a site like Hungerford Primary School will know that a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

FAQs for Upper Eddington
Do you cover smaller places like Upper Eddington?

Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Tell us about it as you book and we will plan the survey around it.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
It’s a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. What it shows depends on the weather and the roof. Where it can’t be pinned down, the report suggests a next step, such as electronic leak detection.
Can a thermal camera see water?
No, not on its own. It shows surface temperature, and wet areas can show up because they hold heat differently. We confirm what it suggests with moisture readings.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
