About our thermal roof survey in Whiteley Village
Thermal imaging is often most useful on flat roofs, from small extensions to large commercial roofs. Patterns can suggest where water is trapped under the covering. Pitched roofs with slates or tiles are often harder to read, because of the air space beneath, so we also look from the loft where we can reach it safely. We are often asked to look into damp patches with no obvious cause and patches of heat loss across the roof, on ceilings below the roof, pitched roof slopes and insulated roof spaces.
Some older homes in villages like Whiteley Village are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
Where we can’t see part of the roof, the report says so. That way, it’s clear what was covered and what wasn’t.

What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
Not every roof costs the same to survey, and it comes down to:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Basic, Standard or Premium
For a price for your roof in Whiteley Village, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details. The price is agreed before a date is set.
What we need to know
To price your survey accurately, we will ask about:
- The address and postcode of the property
- The kind of building and roof involved
- What’s prompted the survey
- Anything about access we should know
Our price is from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, so call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the details.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
After strong wind, take a look from the pavement or garden: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Do not go up yourself.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You won’t see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.

How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a written report with photos. As for time on site, most surveys take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Older rural homes like those around Whiteley Village can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can safely be seen.
- A thermal camera records how the surface temperature varies across the roof.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there’s safe access.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
Preparing for the visit
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street

Advice
Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
After the visit, we put the thermal images, photos and moisture readings into one report. We explain what each image may mean, with our recommendations. With a Premium Survey, you get the report the same day.
Watch for new damp patches on ceilings beneath the roof. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
Whiteley Village questions
Is Whiteley Village in the area you cover?
Yes. We work right across London and the South East, and Whiteley Village is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details.
How do I find out if my home in Whiteley Village is listed?
The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that in advance, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?
On pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp patterns. Our report is clear about what can be read from them, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
How long will you be at the property?
Expect it to take between one and two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. You will then get the report by email.
How fast do I get the report?
The Premium Survey report comes the same day, the Standard within 24–48 hours and the Basic within 48 hours. All of them come by email, ready to forward.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time.

- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check

Thermal roof surveys around Whiteley Village
The Homewood, about 1.8 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Whiteley Village. If your home is one of the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. In Surrey, older roofs are frequently handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. A few of Surrey’s oldest buildings have heavy Horsham stone slab roofs. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from ground level, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.
If you look after a building such as Notre Dame Senior School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. If your home is one of the older ones in the streets near Church of St Mark, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps.
