About our thermal roof survey in Wiggonholt
A thermal camera can help when the cause of damp isn’t obvious. Water can travel some distance under a roof covering before it shows inside, and the camera can show patterns that help us follow it. The images are used alongside a visual inspection and moisture readings, so the findings don’t rely on the camera alone. Typical surveys look at heat escaping through the roof and damp around chimneys and parapets, on flat roofs, commercial roofs and loft conversions.
Some older homes in villages like Wiggonholt are listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager does not touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, 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.
What you get is a clear record of the roof on the day we saw it. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later, such as when you want to compare after future work.

What we’re asked to look at in Wiggonholt
Unexplained damp is one of the main reasons people ask for thermal imaging. Water can travel under a roof covering or along timbers before it shows inside. Temperature patterns can help narrow down where to look.
Things that often lead to a survey include:
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Wiggonholt Church, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Whether the price includes VAT
Questions from Wiggonholt
How do I find out if my home in Wiggonholt is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover Wiggonholt?
Yes, Wiggonholt is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
What’s the best way to book?
Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day.
How much does a thermal roof survey cost?
It comes with our Premium Survey, which starts from £400. The Premium Survey also covers a full inspection, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a report on the same day.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the building owner or managing agent needs to agree access. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Wiggonholt
Where a roof is shared: we need access agreed with the building owner or managing agent. Tell us about it when you book and we will plan the survey around it.
We survey roofs for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. A photo-illustrated written report gives you a clear record of the roof, useful for planning maintenance.
Tips from our surveys
Most of what helps is simple and safe from the ground. Our suggestions:
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Check the loft can be reached safely
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- File the images with your roof records
Where a pattern cannot be confirmed, the report says what could help, like electronic leak detection or opening up a small area.
Deal with small splits and lifted seams promptly. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.
What we do, step by step
We photograph the roof as we go, so the report shows exactly what we saw. Close-ups come from the safest viewpoint available, including by drone where it is applicable and the weather allows. Most surveys take about one to two hours for a house, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Somewhere like Wiggonholt needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- We look over the roof from wherever it is safe.
- 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Keep pets in another room
