Warren Corner Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal roof surveys in Warren Corner, backed by more than 20 years’ experience. Every survey ends with a written report and photos.
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours at a typical home, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Warren Corner frequently 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.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- 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.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Getting ready for the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
Booking a survey
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To get started, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.

How a thermal roof survey works in Warren Corner
Wet insulation under a flat roof covering holds heat for longer than dry. That means a wet area can show up as a different temperature from the rest of the roof. It helps us see how far water may have spread under the covering, which is hard to judge by eye. Moisture readings are then used to check what the camera suggests. If you are worried about areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions and damp around roof outlets and upstands, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
In a small place like Warren Corner, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What affects the price in Warren Corner
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where applicable) come with the Premium Survey, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.
What to tell us when you get in touch
There’s no need for technical words. It’s enough to tell us:
- When you need the report by
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
For a price for thermal roof surveys in Warren Corner, call 07833 053749 or send us an email. The address, the type of property and what you’d like to know help us price the survey accurately.
Honest limits
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Proving moisture from the images alone
- The condition of timbers we cannot see
- A formal energy assessment
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will recommend the right survey. What our survey covers.
Roof types and parts we check
- Pitched roof slopes
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings below the roof
- Flat roofs
- Insulated roof spaces

For landlords and managing agents
Letting agents frequently book on a landlord’s behalf. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Roof problems in a rented home affect tenants as well as the building. A survey helps you spot issues early and plan the work around your tenants.

What we’re asked to look at in Warren Corner
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.
Common reasons to book include:
- Cold areas below the roof
- Water that travels before it shows
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
The streets around a church like St Mary's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your home is one of the older ones nearby, 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.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Their insurance cover
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- When you will get the report
Before and after the survey
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
Once we’ve been, the thermal images, photos and readings go into a single report. We explain what each image may mean, with our recommendations. Premium reports are sent the same day.
Check loft insulation covers the whole area and hasn’t been disturbed. Gaps often appear after work in the loft.
FAQs for Warren Corner
How do I find out if my home in Warren Corner is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Warren Corner in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and Warren Corner is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
It’s a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. What it shows depends on the weather and the roof. If the source can’t be confirmed, we will say what could help next, such as electronic leak detection.
Does the weather affect a thermal survey?
The weather makes a real difference. It works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind. Rain and strong wind can make the images less clear, so we discuss the forecast when booking.
How long is the visit?
It normally takes an hour or two at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. The report follows by email.
How much does a thermal roof survey cost?
Thermal imaging is included in our Premium Survey, from £400. The Premium Survey also covers a full inspection, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can show heat loss and some damp, but it has more limits there. Our report is clear about what can be read from them, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Warren Corner
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Many older homes in Surrey have handmade clay tiles and tile-hung upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
If you look after a building such as Crondall Primary 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 instance near Hart Shopping Centre, thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof.
