Thermal roof survey in West End Green
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. It also includes a drone inspection where it applies, a structural analysis and a same-day report. There is an in-person consultation as well, plus a follow-up 12 months later. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We survey pitched roof slopes, ceilings below the roof and flat roofs, and people most frequently book us about wet insulation beneath the membrane and cold areas below the roof.
Villages like West End Green frequently stand in open country, where wind can be strong. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
It isn’t only a list of defects. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can decide what to do next.

How the survey works
Every roof is different, but as a rough guide the survey takes about one to two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. You’re welcome to ask questions while we’re there. Somewhere as small as West End Green, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- We talk through the roof, any damp or leaks, and the weather expected on the day.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can safely be seen.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- You get a report with thermal images, photos and our recommendations.
How to prepare
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller

West End Green: your questions answered
Is West End Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our area covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest villages. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
How do I find out if my home in West End Green is listed?
We cannot confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What’s the best way to book?
The quickest way is to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Tell us the address and a little about the roof. We survey on weekdays and at weekends.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are typically harder to read. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we combine it with an inspection from the loft where there is safe access.
Is thermal imaging included in your surveys?
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.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
What a survey costs
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- The shape of the roof and its details
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
- How big the roof is
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Getting in touch
You do not need to know any roofing terms. It is enough to tell us:
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- The address and postcode of the property
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Whether there’s a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
When you are ready to go ahead, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will suggest a package, agree the price and find a date, weekday or weekend.

Loft insulation
Insulation often gets moved during work in the loft. Thermal images can show where it has been pushed aside.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Many single-ply and EPDM roofs sit on insulation boards. Wet boards can show as temperature differences on the images.
What this survey can’t tell you
This isn’t a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. Other limits to bear in mind:
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
- What’s inside walls or under coverings, without opening up
- A structural engineer’s assessment

Why act early in West End Green
Repeated repairs that don’t stop a leak are a sign the source hasn’t been traced. Thermal imaging with moisture readings can help narrow it down, rather than more guesswork. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. That’s one more reason to find defects before they become urgent.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.

Do you need a thermal roof survey in West End Green?
Some owners book because the rooms under the roof feel cold. Missing or slipped insulation can stand out as temperature differences, particularly when there is a clear difference between inside and outside.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Water that travels before it shows
- Stains that keep coming back
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
Stratfield Saye House, about 2 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around West End Green. A drone or thermal survey does not involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings.

- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
- Whether VAT is in the quoted price
Drones, thermal imaging and West End Green roofs
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles, with flat-roofed extensions, dormers and garages common everywhere. Many roofs like these can’t be judged properly from the pavement, and that’s where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place.
Around West End Green, as everywhere, small roof faults are simplest to sort before they let water in.
