About our thermal roof survey in Walton
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, so it is easy to see which part of the roof each one shows. We explain what each pattern may mean, what the moisture readings found and what we recommend. Premium reports are sent the same day. You can talk the findings through with us at the in-person consultation. A follow-up 12 months later is included too. If you are worried about moisture around outlets and upstands and areas of a flat roof that may hold water, we can find out what’s behind it, on pitched roof slopes, flat roofs and ceilings below the roof alike.
Older buildings in small places like Walton may be listed or in a conservation area. A look by drone or thermal camera does not touch the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Thermal roof surveys in Walton: local notes
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. A number of Buckinghamshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
Take a building like Aylesbury High School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Friars Square, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it. Take an older house close to Holy Trinity: tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

What’s near Walton

What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, like when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. For a village or hamlet like Walton, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- You let us know about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
How to prepare
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
Arrange a survey
Buyers should book once an offer has been accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or use the contact form whenever suits you.

This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Confirming water without moisture readings
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
- The condition of timbers we cannot see

Prices for thermal roof surveys in Walton
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- House, block, shop or office
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
Booking your survey
There is no need for technical words. It is enough to let us know:
- The type of building and roof, like pitched or flat
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
Unsure which package suits your roof? It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We’ll talk you through the options and what they cost.
Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Walton
Do you cover smaller places like Walton?
Yes, Walton is covered. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Walton?
Yes, Walton is one of the places we work. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Tell us which days suit you when you book.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and it is safe, yes. Flights depend on the weather on the day and airspace rules, and we check for restrictions near airports before flying. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Our survey isn’t a structural engineer’s report. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we will recommend one.
How experienced are you?
Over 5,000 surveys so far, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, with 98% customer satisfaction.
Landlords, agents and block managers in Walton
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget, putting the urgent items at the top.
Practical tips
A few practical points come up again and again on our surveys. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- File the images with your roof records
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Photograph damp patches with the date
You can pass the report to a roofer so they can see where the problem areas seem to be. Each thermal image is matched to a normal photo, so the areas are easy to locate.
Clear outlets and gutters regularly, so water does not sit on the roof. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.
Different roofs, different checks
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Slate and tile roofs are often harder to read with a thermal camera, because of the air space beneath. We combine the images with an inspection from the loft where there is safe access.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Parapet and valley gutters can overflow inside a building. We use the camera and moisture readings to help follow it.
