Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Weston Green
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 flat roofs, insulated roof spaces and pitched roof slopes, and common reasons people get in touch are damp that repairs haven’t cured and areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions.
Some older homes in villages like Weston Green are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it’s a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, 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.
Report times depend on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Before and after the survey
From years of surveys, a few habits stand out as worth the effort:
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Do not climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
If the images suggest moisture that cannot be confirmed, we will say what would help next, for example electronic leak detection or a roofer opening up a small section.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Early action keeps insulation from staying wet.
Honest limits
It’s a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
- An energy rating for the building

Roof types and parts we check
- Loft conversions
- Insulated roof spaces
- Pitched roof slopes
- Commercial roofs
- Flat roofs
- Ceilings below the roof
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes an hour or two at most homes, and more on a big or complicated roof. Cottages and farmhouses around Weston Green often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there is safe access, in the loft.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking near the property
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

How the survey changes by roof type
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP surfaces can be shiny, which affects thermal readings. We allow for reflections and confirm findings with moisture readings.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Even on pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp. We explain what can and cannot be read from them.

Prices for thermal roof surveys in Weston Green
Not every roof costs the same to survey, for these reasons:
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
Simple, low roofs take less time to survey than tall or complicated ones, and the package matters as well. We will give you the figure before anything is booked.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical words. It’s enough to let us know:
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
We confirm the price for the job before you book, so you know the cost up front. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
Questions from Weston Green
How do I find out if my home in Weston Green is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
Is Weston Green in the area you cover?
Yes, Weston Green is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Weston Green as anywhere else, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
It can help narrow down where water may be getting in. Patterns can suggest where trapped water has spread. We combine it with a visual inspection and moisture readings because the camera cannot confirm water on its own.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so we need permission from the freeholder or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we are allowed to reach.
What does the report include?
A written report with photos, covering the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend. The Standard Survey adds moisture detection and a structural check, and the Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Will the camera show exactly where the water is?
Not directly. It shows temperature, and wet materials often behave differently from dry ones. We confirm what it suggests with moisture readings.
Landlord and commercial surveys in Weston Green
Shared roofs need a little more planning: we need access agreed with the freeholder or managing agent. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
If you own several properties, you can book surveys for several addresses. To arrange surveys for several addresses, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the addresses.

Older homes in the wider area often have features worth a closer look, such as lead valleys, tall stacks and roofs that have been patched over the years. Within a mile and a half or so of Weston Green there are several hotels, and hotels, like offices and blocks of flats, often have flat roofs. For hotels and other commercial buildings, large roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.
Take a building like Esher College: big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of All Saints, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help. If you run a business near Bentall Centre, large commercial roofs are often easiest to see by drone or thermal camera.
