Common roof problems in Walter's Green
Buyers sometimes want more than a visual look at the roof. A Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, a drone inspection where it applies and a same-day report, which helps when timescales are tight.
A survey can pick up problems like:
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Water that travels before it shows
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Gaps in loft insulation
Take an older house close to Church of St Peter: older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
Questions to ask before you book
- What exactly goes into their report
- Which limits apply to the survey
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Walter's Green
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. You also get a drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. To book, just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and what you’ve noticed. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. We survey insulated roof spaces, pitched roof slopes and commercial roofs, and the problems we are asked to look at most are missing or slipped insulation and areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions.
Villages like Walter's Green often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. Strong wind or a downpour stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later.

What else we do in Walter's Green
Prices for thermal roof surveys in Walter's Green
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- How big the roof is
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all with VAT included. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
Booking your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- The reason for the survey, like buying, a leak or storm damage
- Any deadline, like an exchange date
- The property’s address and postcode
To book a survey, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. You will know the price before anything is booked.
What you can safely check yourself
What you cannot do safely is get up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
A lot can be seen from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Walter's Green
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords. Bigger roofs take more time.

What can thermal imaging tell me about my roof?
The images show how warm or cool each part of the surface is. Differences can suggest wet areas, missing insulation or heat loss, and we check them with moisture readings.

Can you give me structural calculations?
No. We are roof surveyors, not structural engineers. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we will recommend one.
Why get it checked now?

What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will take it from there. A typical survey takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a small place like Walter's Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- Areas that look unusual on the camera are checked with moisture readings where possible.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed
