Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Willey Green
A thermal imaging roof survey uses a thermal camera to show differences in surface temperature across a roof. Those patterns can point to trapped moisture, missing insulation or heat escaping. The camera does not see water itself, so we check what it shows with moisture readings. Thermal imaging is included in our Premium Survey, from £400. Conditions on the day affect the results, and the report explains how. We survey insulated roof spaces, flat roofs and ceilings below the roof, and people most often book us about damp around roof outlets and upstands and missing or slipped insulation.
Some older homes in villages like Willey Green are listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey goes further, with thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Practical tips
There’s plenty you can do without going near the roof. What helps most:
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
- File the images with your roof records
- Make sure the loft can be reached safely
- Photograph damp patches with the date
Buyers can use the findings when talking to the seller or agent. What you do with it is up to you, whether you ask for work before completion or discuss the price.
Clear outlets and gutters regularly, so water doesn’t sit on the roof. The less water sits, the less can find its way beneath.
What affects the price in Willey Green
Prices vary from roof to roof, for these reasons:
- The size of the roof
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The shape of the roof and its details
- Which survey package you book
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

What a thermal roof survey looks like in Willey Green
In Surrey, older roofs are often handmade clay tile, with tile-hanging on many upper walls. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up photos from the air and thermal images help. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
The streets around a church such as Church of St Mark are often among the oldest in a place, and if you own one of the older houses nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps. Take a building like Kings College Guildford: a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. Wanborough Manor, about 1.8 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Willey Green. For older roofs nearby, a look from above or with a thermal imager is a hands-off way to check condition.

Willey Green questions
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Willey Green?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. If a 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.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Willey Green?
Yes, Willey Green is within the area we cover. We work right across London and the South East. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I book a survey in Willey Green?
Just ring 07833 053749 or email us. After a few questions, we confirm the price and fix a day, weekday or weekend.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What do I do with the report?
You’ll receive the report by email, and you decide the next step: use it with a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, like cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings.
Will I get photos?
Yes. The report includes photos of what we found, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
How the survey changes by roof type
GRP fibreglass roofs
Water can get through cracked GRP into the deck. We combine a visual check of cracks with the thermal images around them.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Felt and asphalt roofs often show wet areas as patches that differ from the rest. Moisture readings are used to check them.

- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections

How the survey works
Before we start, tell us why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit typically takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as Willey Green, access is frequently the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First we go over the roof, the problem you’ve noticed and the conditions forecast for the visit.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Jot down any questions you want answered
