About our thermal roof survey in Wexham Court
Wet insulation under a flat roof covering holds heat for longer than dry. That means a wet area can show up as a different temperature from the rest of the roof. It helps us see how far water may have spread under the covering, which is hard to judge by eye. We then check those areas with moisture readings. Common reasons to book are thin or uneven insulation in the roof and areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions, on flat roofs, loft conversions and ceilings below the roof.
In a village or hamlet like Wexham Court, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Weather and airspace are checked before the visit. Steep slopes and tall chimney stacks are where a close-up view adds the most.
With the Standard Survey, you also get moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Roof by roof
Loft insulation
Insulation often gets moved during work in the loft. The camera can show where it no longer covers the ceiling.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Felt and asphalt sit tight to the layers below, which often helps the camera pick up differences. Any patterns are checked with moisture readings.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Wexham Court
Wet insulation under a flat roof doesn’t dry out on its own while the covering stays on. In time, it stops insulating properly and can damage the deck. Finding them early can mean a smaller job. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wexham Court can have roof timbers that have been there a very long time, and water through a failed covering can rot timber if it’s left.
One thing that affects the price is the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, inc. VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.

How the survey works
The visit usually starts outside and finishes in the loft: outside views come first, then the loft space if there is safe access. All told, expect between one and two hours at a typical home, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Older roofs in small places like Wexham Court can have low, tight loft spaces, so it’s useful to know whether there’s a loft hatch and how easy it is to reach. We only go where it’s safe.
- 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 be seen safely.
- Thermal images are taken to show differences in surface temperature.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there’s safe access.
- You get a report with thermal images, photos and our recommendations.
How to prepare
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building

What’s in the survey report?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos. Points are put by urgency where it matters.
Will you fly a drone over my roof?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
Thermal images can suggest where heat is escaping and where insulation may be missing. The survey is not an energy rating or a heat loss calculation, but the report shows where to look more closely.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We are roof surveyors, not structural engineers. We’ll recommend an engineer if we see signs that call for one.
How experienced are you?

Drones, thermal imaging and Wexham Court roofs
Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Historic houses such as Windsor Castle, about 3.4 miles south, show how far back building in the area around Wexham Court goes. On older houses around here, roofs often carry the marks of earlier repairs, from replaced slates to new lead, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Mary, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.
