How the survey works
The visit has one job: 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. The visit typically takes an hour or two at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. In a small place like West Heath, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
How to prepare
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
- Jot down any questions you want answered

Advice
Thermal roof survey in West Heath: what you get
Your report sets out the thermal images alongside ordinary photographs, making it clear where on the roof each pattern is. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. With a Premium Survey, the report reaches you the same day. If you have questions, the in-person consultation gives you time to go through them. A follow-up 12 months later is included too. We survey insulated roof spaces, pitched roof slopes and ceilings below the roof, and people most often book us about missing or slipped insulation and cold areas below the roof.
Older buildings in small places like West Heath may be 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. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Thermal roof surveys in West Heath: local notes
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. With The Vyne about 3 miles east, West Heath sits in an area with a long building history. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
The streets around a church such as Christ Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. For site and facilities teams at buildings like The Priory Primary School, thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

FAQs for West Heath
Is my home in West Heath listed or in a conservation area?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. It matters most if you’re planning to re-roof in a different material.
Is West Heath within the area you cover?
Yes, West Heath is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned beforehand.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. It may be present in buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
It frequently helps show where to look. Water can travel under a covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help follow it. It’s used alongside a close inspection and moisture readings, as the camera alone can’t prove a leak.
Does the report include photos?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, which makes the report easy to follow.
When does the report arrive?
Report times are set by the package. Basic: within 48 hours. Standard: 24 to 48 hours. Premium: the same day. Mention any deadline when booking.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. We use safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies.

Rented homes, blocks and businesses
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
We survey roofs for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos, useful for planning maintenance.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight, and those are details a survey looks at closely.
Why get it checked now?
If a big flat roof may need replacing, knowing the wet areas first is useful. Thermal imaging, checked with moisture readings, gives a clearer picture before you spend. In a small place like West Heath, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Prices start from £400, including VAT. Basic starts from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, VAT included, and we can help you choose.

What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Height and safe access
- If the survey needs thermal imaging or a drone
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
One thing that affects the price is the package: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 or Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. Size, height and access can affect the price too.
What to tell us when you contact us
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- The property’s address and postcode
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
You can call us seven days a week. To book or ask a question, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Useful tips for West Heath property owners
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- Don’t climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
If you’re buying, the report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. It’s your decision how to use it, whether that’s asking for work or discussing the price.
Have small defects in the covering fixed early. Once water gets under a membrane, it can travel far before it appears inside.
