Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Wanshurst Green
Thermal imaging is often most useful on flat roofs, from small extensions to large commercial roofs. Patterns can suggest where water is trapped under the covering. Pitched roofs with slates or tiles are often harder to read, because of the air space beneath, so we also look from the loft where we can reach it safely. If you’re worried about cold spots on ceilings under the roof and wet areas near outlets and upstands, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on pitched roof slopes, ceilings below the roof and commercial roofs alike.
In a small place like Wanshurst Green, open ground can mean strong wind. 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.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

For blocks of flats, a roof survey helps managing agents and residents’ management companies plan ahead. The report sets out what needs attention now and what can wait, which helps with budgets and planning.
Practical tips
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. What helps most:
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
- Tell us where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- Don’t switch the heating off ahead of the visit
Where a pattern can’t be confirmed, the report says what could help, such as electronic leak detection or opening up a small area.
After repairs or a new covering, a later survey can confirm things are dry in suitable weather.
What a survey costs
All our prices include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- The size of the roof
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
Getting in touch
If you can, have these to hand when you get in touch:
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- The address and postcode of the property
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- What’s prompted the survey

Airspace, weather and Wanshurst Green roofs
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, and councils can also use Article 4 directions to control changes in conservation areas.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Michael and All Angels Church, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps. Around Wanshurst Green, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
What happens on the day
We’ll ask a few questions first, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes about 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Somewhere like Wanshurst Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is safe.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there’s safe access, in the loft.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Getting ready for the survey
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Why get it checked now?
Heat lost through a roof costs money every winter. The camera can point to gaps and thin areas in the insulation, so improvements can go where they’re needed. Outbuildings and barns around Wanshurst Green are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400, both including VAT. You’ll know the price for your roof before booking.
