Witley Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Witley. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Cold areas below the roof
How a thermal roof survey works in Witley
Flat roofs over extensions, garages, flats and commercial buildings are where thermal imaging often helps most. Patterns can suggest where water is trapped under the covering. On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can hide what’s below, so we also look from the loft where we can reach it safely. We survey commercial roofs, ceilings below the roof and loft conversions, and people most frequently book us about leaks that are hard to trace and damp around chimneys and parapets.
Somewhere as small as Witley, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from the ground. Weather and airspace are looked at ahead of the visit, and the journey is planned in advance. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
The report doesn’t just list problems. For each finding, it explains what it is, why it matters and what we’d recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

What a thermal roof survey does not cover
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before you book. Bear these in mind:
- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface

How the survey changes by roof type
Loft insulation
The difference is clearest when the home is heated and it’s cold out. We explain in the report how the conditions on the day affected what we saw.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Damp at junctions can be hard to see by eye. We combine a close visual check with the thermal images.
Surveys for landlords and agents in Witley
Managing agents and residents’ management companies use roof surveys to plan maintenance. Recommendations are set out by urgency where it matters, which helps when budgeting.
Any of our surveys can be booked by landlords, agents and building managers in Witley. To discuss a property or a block, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.

What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
It’s useful to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry.
What happens on the day
Photographs are taken throughout the visit, 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. A typical visit takes roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. For a village or hamlet like Witley, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
How to prepare
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

Flying and imaging in Witley
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
For an older house near a landmark like Church of All Saints, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement. Loseley Park lies about 4.6 miles north-east, so building around Witley goes back a long way. For older roofs nearby, a look from above or with a thermal imager is a hands-off way to check condition. Anyone responsible for a site like The Chandler CofE Aided Junior School will know that big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.
Witley is about 7 miles south-west of Guildford, in Surrey. Wherever you are in Witley, we can carry out thermal roof surveys at your property, on a weekday, Saturday or Sunday. Witley is one of the towns and villages in Surrey we cover. Our Guildford page covers surveys nearby.

What a survey costs
Our packages start from £150, with VAT included. What you pay for your roof depends on:
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- The size of the roof
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
Our price is from £400, including VAT. Packages run from Basic at £150 through Standard at £250 to Premium at £400, inc. VAT, and we will tell you which fits.
Getting in touch
These details help when you get in touch:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- The address and postcode of the property
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Dates you’re working to, like exchange
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Witley
Do you cover smaller places like Witley?
Yes, Witley is covered. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Witley in the area you cover?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs.
Does thermal imaging detect leaks directly?
No, not on its own. It shows temperature, and wet materials often behave differently from dry ones. We confirm what it suggests with moisture readings.
Which survey includes thermal imaging?
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.
What happens next?
You will get the report by email. With Standard there’s a follow-up consultation; with Premium, an in-person consultation.
What insurance do you have?
We are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, for every survey we carry out.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
It can help narrow down where water may be getting in. Water can travel under a covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help follow it. We combine it with a visual inspection and moisture readings because the camera can’t confirm water on its own.
