Warfield Park Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof for Warfield Park and the rest of Bracknell Forest. Surveys run seven days a week.
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
We confirm the exact price before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so the price reflects that. You will know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
What helps most when you contact us:
- When you need the report by
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
Prices start from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the details.
About our thermal roof survey in Warfield Park
Wet insulation under a flat roof covering holds heat for longer than dry. So a wet patch can show as a warmer or cooler area on the camera. It helps us see how far water may have spread under the covering, something you can’t normally tell from the surface. We then check those areas with moisture readings. If you’ve noticed missing or slipped insulation and areas of a flat roof that may hold water, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Even in a smaller place like Warfield Park, there may be airfields or restrictions nearby, so every drone flight starts with a check of the Drone Safety Map. Exposed sites can be windy, and a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind. Neighbours’ privacy is part of planning each flight, along with the airspace and the weather.
It is not only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What happens on the day
Once we have finished looking, we write up our findings as a report with photographs. On timing, it normally takes between one and two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. For a survey in Warfield Park, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays. Tell us about any garages, outbuildings or extensions you want included.
- First we go over the roof, the problem you’ve noticed and the conditions forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- 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.
- You get a report with thermal images, photographs and our recommendations.
Before the survey
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at

Airspace, weather and Warfield Park roofs
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. The wider area around Warfield Park has a long history of building, with St Leonard's Hill about 4.3 miles north-east. Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, like lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near St Martin's Church, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image. If you look after a building like Whitegrove Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Warfield Park is about 1 mile east of Wick Hill, in Bracknell Forest. From houses to flats and shops in Warfield Park, the roof can be surveyed. Across Bracknell Forest, we cover Warfield Park. There’s also a page for Reading.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Warfield Park
Do you carry out roof surveys in Warfield Park?
Yes, Warfield Park is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know about the property.
How do I find out if my home in Warfield Park is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
Thermal imaging can help, alongside other checks. The results depend on conditions on the day. If the source can’t be confirmed, we’ll say what could help next, like electronic leak detection.
Are you insured?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
How long does the survey take?
Time on site depends on the roof, but most surveys take between one and two hours for a house, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. The report is sent afterwards by email.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only where it is safe to do so. We check everything that can safely be seen: from the ground, from windows and vantage points, from the roof space, from the roof itself where safe and by drone where applicable. Anything we can’t see is noted in the report.
How quickly is the report sent?
Each package has its own report time. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. Mention any deadline as you book.
DIY checks: what’s safe
A lot can be seen from the ground. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.
What we look for on each type of roof
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Because these membranes are thin, patterns from below frequently show. Shiny surfaces can reflect heat, so we take care reading the images.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Even on pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp. The report explains what the images can tell you and what they can’t.
Common roof problems in Warfield Park
Buyers sometimes want more than a visual look at the roof. The Premium Survey brings thermal imaging and a drone inspection where it applies, with a report the same day, which suits a purchase that’s moving quickly.
We’re often asked to look at:
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Water that travels before it shows
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
If you run a business near The Lexicon, thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof.
Before you book anyone
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether the inside of the roof is included

Tips from our surveys
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- Do not climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- File the images with your roof records
Where a pattern can’t be confirmed, the report says what could help, for example electronic leak detection or a roofer opening up a small section.
Watch for new damp patches on ceilings beneath the roof. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
