How a thermal roof survey works in Wentworth
Thermal imaging is useful when a damp patch has no clear cause. Water can travel some distance under a roof covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help us trace where it may have come from. The images are used alongside a visual inspection and moisture readings, so no conclusion rests on one method alone. We survey commercial roofs, insulated roof spaces and pitched roof slopes, and the problems we are asked to look at most are moisture around outlets and upstands and water getting in at parapets and stacks.
In a village or hamlet like Wentworth, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you cannot get from the ground. Weather and airspace are looked at ahead of the visit, and the journey is planned in advance. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
The report does not just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

Thermal roof surveys in Wentworth: local notes
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Botleys Mansion, about 3.1 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wentworth. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark like Christ Church, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
Wentworth is about 3 miles south-west of Egham, in Surrey. Wentworth is part of the area we cover and the surrounding area across London and South East England. We cover towns and villages across Surrey. You can also see our page for Guildford.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Repeated repairs that do not stop a leak are a sign the source hasn’t been traced. Combining the camera with moisture readings can help find it, rather than more guesswork. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Wentworth, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

How it works
It is useful to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Rural addresses near Wentworth can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Unlock side gates and any roof access doors
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
How to book
If you are buying, it helps to book soon after your offer is accepted, so there is time to use the report before exchange. Otherwise, simply call 07833 053749 or email us whenever suits you.
Advice
What a thermal roof survey doesn’t cover
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Bear these in mind:
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
- Confirming water without moisture readings
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will suggest the right survey. What our survey covers.
Roofs we survey in Wentworth

- Flat roofs
- Insulated roof spaces

Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Wentworth
Some defects simply cannot be seen with the eye. Trapped moisture, missing insulation and hidden heat loss are three examples. Thermal imaging gives us another way to look for them.
Look out for signs like these:
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Stains that keep coming back
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Gaps in loft insulation
Take a building like Christ Church CofE Aided Infant School: a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Whether you can ask questions once you have the report
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
Wentworth questions
Do you cover smaller places like Wentworth?
Yes. Wentworth is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We survey roofs across London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route as you book.
Is my home in Wentworth listed or in a conservation area?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
How many surveys have you done?
We’ve completed more than 5,000 surveys, across 20+ years of surveying roofs, and 98% of customers are satisfied.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where it is applicable. Whether we can fly on the day depends on the weather and the airspace rules, including flight restriction zones near airports. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
It frequently helps show where to look. Patterns can suggest where trapped water has spread. We combine it with a visual inspection and moisture readings, as the camera alone cannot prove a leak.
Does the weather affect a thermal survey?
Conditions on the day have a big effect on what the camera can show. A dry surface, little wind and a sunny spell beforehand help most. We record the conditions in the report, so you know how much weight to give the images.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Letting agents can arrange access with tenants, at a time agreed beforehand. Surveys run on any day of the week, which can make access easier.
Where a roof is shared: access has to be agreed with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you get in touch and we will plan the visit with that in mind.
Different roofs, different checks
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Built-up felt and asphalt roofs can hide trapped water for a long time. The camera can give clues to where it’s sitting, when the conditions allow.
Loft insulation
In the loft space, the camera can pick up gaps and thin areas of insulation. We look where there’s safe access.
