What a thermal roof survey doesn’t cover
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
- The condition of timbers we can’t see
- Proving moisture from the images alone
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
Roof types and parts we check
- Insulated roof spaces
- Flat roofs

Thermal roof survey in Well End: what you get
Thermal imaging is part of our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. It also includes a drone inspection where it applies, a structural analysis and a same-day report. There’s an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. For big commercial roofs, we quote on size and access. We survey commercial roofs, insulated roof spaces and ceilings below the roof, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting in at parapets and stacks and water that travels before it shows.
Some older homes in villages like Well End are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, 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, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Prices for thermal roof surveys in Well End
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- How big the roof is
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. The price is confirmed before you book.
What to tell us when you get in touch
Before you get in touch, it’s useful to have:
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
- When you need the report by
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.

What else we do in Well End
Flying and imaging in Well End
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Buckinghamshire’s villages. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from ground level, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
If you run a business near Eden, thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof. If you look after a building such as Claytons Primary School, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mark, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

What happens on the day

Most surveys take about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Older rural homes like those around Well End can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.

- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- 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.

Advice
Useful tips for Well End property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. A few suggestions:
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
Premium Surveys include an in-person consultation, giving you the chance to talk through the images and findings. There’s a 12-month follow-up too.
Keep outlets and gutters clear so water drains off the roof quickly. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.
Roof by roof
Loft insulation
Loft insulation is easily disturbed when people store things or run cables. The camera can show where it no longer covers the ceiling.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Thin membranes can show patterns from the layers beneath. Reflections from shiny surfaces can affect readings, which we allow for.
