Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Wexham Street
People frequently book a thermal survey when a damp patch has no obvious cause. A leak may start well away from where the stain appears. The camera helps narrow the search.
Here are some of the things we see frequently:
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Stains that keep coming back
Historic houses such as Windsor Castle, about 4.3 miles south, show how far back building around Wexham Street goes. For older roofs nearby, a look from above or with a thermal imager is a hands-off way to check condition.
Questions to ask before you book
- What experience they bring
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- Whether they hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance
Thermal roof survey in Wexham Street: what you get
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. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. You can call 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. If you’ve noticed stains that keep coming back and damp around roof outlets and upstands, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Wexham Street are listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, so it is 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.
We keep jargon out of it: where something needs attention, it says so plainly, and where it can wait, that’s said too.

Wexham Street questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Wexham Street?
Yes, Wexham Street is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just call 07833 053749 or send us an email and tell us about the property.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wexham Street?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Can you survey at the weekend?
Surveys run on weekdays and at weekends. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or email us.
Is it the same as a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey?
No. Our survey looks at the roof, not the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you’ll need a RICS survey as well.
How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Wexham Street?
To book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
What can thermal imaging tell me about my roof?
A thermal camera shows differences in surface temperature. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or heat escaping. We check what it shows with moisture readings.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are usually harder to read. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we also look from the loft where it is safe.
Prices for thermal roof surveys in Wexham Street
Prices always include VAT. What changes the price is:
- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
- How big the roof is
- House, block, shop or office
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
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 to tell us when you contact us
We’ll normally ask about:
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Why you want a survey: buying, a leak, a storm or new work
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Dates you are working to, such as exchange
Most bookings start with a short call: ring 07833 053749 or email us. The price is agreed before a date is set.
The survey, step by step
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, so you can see in the report what we found and where. We take close-ups from wherever is safe. A typical visit takes about one to two hours at most homes, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Older rural homes like those around Wexham Street can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
How to prepare
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Note where any stains or damp appear
- If you’re buying, let the agent know when we are coming

Drones, thermal imaging and Wexham Street roofs
Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles, and flat-roofed additions turn up almost everywhere. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Take an older house close to St Andrew's Church Centre: tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. Anyone responsible for a site like Khalsa Secondary Academy will know that big roofs are where close-up aerial shots and thermal images show the most at once.

Why get it checked now?
A damp patch that keeps coming back normally has a cause that hasn’t been found. Combining the camera with moisture readings can help find it, instead of trying repair after repair. Outbuildings and barns around Wexham Street are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, inc. VAT. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400. You will know the price for the job before booking.

Useful tips for Wexham Street property owners
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- Make sure the loft can be reached safely
Where a pattern cannot be confirmed, the report says what could help, for instance electronic leak detection or a roofer opening up a small section.
Keep outlets and gutters clear so water drains off the roof quickly. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.
