Thermal roof survey in Weeley Heath: what you get
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. You also get a drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a report on the same day. There is an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We survey loft conversions, flat roofs and pitched roof slopes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are stains that keep coming back and water that travels before it shows.
Somewhere as small as Weeley Heath, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned in advance. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Thermal images can suggest the extent of wet areas without cutting into the roof. It helps when deciding whether to patch an area or replace the roof. Matching old materials, like handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. We confirm the price for your survey before you book.

What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The roof’s overall size
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, inc. VAT. We can help you choose the package that fits what you need to know.
Getting in touch
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It’s enough to tell us:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What’s prompted the survey
- Your timetable, such as an exchange date
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
Once you know what you need, call 07833 053749 or email us. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date.
Different roofs, different checks
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
These coverings sit directly on the layers beneath, so temperature differences often show through. Any patterns are checked with moisture readings.
Loft insulation
Insulation often gets moved during work in the loft. The camera can show where it no longer covers the ceiling.
What a thermal roof survey does not cover
Some things cannot be seen without opening up the roof, and that sets some limits:
- Confirming water without moisture readings
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check

Thermal roof surveys around Weeley Heath
The coast is about 5 miles or less from Weeley Heath, and coastal wind can be strong. Thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind, so the date is chosen with the forecast in mind. About 2.1 miles east lies Thorpe Hall, a reminder of how long the area around Weeley Heath has been built on. Older homes in the wider area frequently have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Andrew, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. Take a building like Weeley St Andrew's CofE Primary School: a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

What we do, step by step
The aim of the visit is simple: to see as much of the roof as can be seen safely and record it clearly. Everything we note and photograph goes into the written report. It typically takes about one to two hours for most houses, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. Cottages and farmhouses around Weeley Heath often 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 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 be seen safely.
- A thermal camera records how the surface temperature varies across the roof.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Let us know about parking near the property
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch

Advice
FAQs for Weeley Heath
Do you carry out roof surveys in Weeley Heath?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Weeley Heath is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Will you come out to Weeley Heath?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?
It can show heat loss and some damp, but it has more limits there. We explain what the images can and can’t tell you, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
How long is the visit?
Most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. We’ll confirm the timing when booking.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. This is a survey of the roof only, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. Many buyers have both.
How soon will I get the report?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. If you have a deadline, such as an exchange date, tell us when booking.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
