Thermal roof survey in Whitehill: what you get
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, making it clear where on the roof each pattern is. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. Premium reports are sent the same day. You can talk the findings through with us at the in-person consultation. There is a 12-month follow-up as well. We survey flat roofs, commercial roofs and pitched roof slopes, and people most often book us about leaks far from where the stain appears and areas of a flat roof that may hold water.
Older cottages and houses around Whitehill may have little insulation, and some have extensions with their own roofs. Thermal patterns and close-up photos together give a fuller picture of the roof. Findings are checked with moisture readings where needed. Calm, dry weather suits both methods, so the date is set with the forecast in mind.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Why it is worth a survey now in Whitehill
Buyers get extra information from thermal images that the eye can miss. Hidden problems found before exchange can be raised with the seller or agent. On a bungalow or cottage around Whitehill, the roof sits close to the rooms below, so water can show inside quickly once it gets past the covering. Finding the cause first saves a second job inside.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What you get with us
- Packages from £150, with VAT included
- Over 5,000 surveys carried out
- Weekday and weekend surveys
- An independent view of the roof

Tips that help
A little preparation and a few simple habits help. Some pointers:
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- File the images with your roof records
- Photograph damp patches with the date
You also get an in-person consultation with a Premium Survey, giving you the chance to talk through the images and findings. A follow-up 12 months later is included as well.
Deal with small splits and lifted seams promptly. Once water gets under a membrane, it can travel far before it appears inside.
FAQs for Whitehill
Is my home in Whitehill listed or in a conservation area?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It’s worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Whitehill?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Whitehill is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are typically harder to read. The air space under slates and tiles can hide patterns, so we also look from the loft where it is safe.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. Our survey is a roof survey, not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey of the whole building. It focuses on the roof and can sit alongside a RICS survey.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
It frequently helps show where to look. Patterns can suggest where trapped water has spread. We combine it with a visual inspection and moisture readings, as the camera alone cannot prove a leak.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the loft space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed when booking.
Does thermal imaging detect leaks directly?
No, not on its own. It shows temperature, and wet materials often behave differently from dry ones. That’s why we check any patterns with moisture readings.
Airspace, weather and Whitehill roofs
England has around 10,000 conservation areas and about 500,000 listed buildings. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
If you look after a building like Woodlea Primary School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

Different roofs, different checks
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Water frequently gets in where roofs meet walls, parapets or valley gutters. The camera can help show damp around these junctions.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Because these membranes are thin, patterns from below often show. Shiny surfaces can reflect heat, so we take care reading the images.

What else we do in Whitehill
The survey, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. Then the inspection itself takes roughly 1–2 hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. With a bit of garden around a house, as there frequently is around Whitehill, the roof can be viewed from several angles. Mention any side of the property we cannot get to. Inside, the loft is checked where it can be reached safely.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there is safe access.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
How to prepare
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the building owner or managing agent
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
Arrange a survey
Getting a price is simple: just ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email, let us know about the property and we will point you to the right survey. The price is agreed up front.
Advice
What we are asked to look at in Whitehill
Cold rooms under a roof, or high heating bills, lead some people to ask about heat loss. Missing or slipped insulation can stand out as temperature differences, particularly when there’s a clear difference between inside and outside.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Cold areas below the roof
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
Take an older house close to St Mark's Sacred Church: tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Before booking anyone
- When you will get the report

What this survey cannot tell you
It helps to know what a survey will not do before booking:
