Wivelrod Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof in Wivelrod. More than 5,000 surveys completed across London and South East England.
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Leaks that are hard to trace
Roof by roof
GRP fibreglass roofs
Glossy GRP can reflect heat. We take that into account and check findings with moisture readings.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
On larger commercial single-ply roofs, thermal imaging can help target moisture readings. That makes the survey more focused.
Thermal roof survey in Wivelrod
A thermal imaging roof survey uses a thermal camera to show differences in surface temperature across a roof. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or places where heat is getting out. It’s important to know that the camera shows temperature, not water, 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. Typical surveys look at damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys and possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering, on flat roofs, pitched roof slopes and ceilings below the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Wivelrod 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 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.

The survey, step by step
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. It typically takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a village or hamlet like Wivelrod, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Before we arrive
- Leave side gates unlocked
- If you’re buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear

DIY checks: what’s safe
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. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are often out of sight.
Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Wivelrod
Do you cover smaller places like Wivelrod?
Yes, we do. We survey roofs across London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Is Wivelrod in the area you cover?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, and Wivelrod is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know about the property, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. Asbestos surveys and testing are not part of what we do. If we see materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement roof sheets or soffits on buildings from before 2000, we flag them, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Which survey includes thermal imaging?
It is part of the Premium Survey, from £400. An in-person consultation and a follow-up 12 months later are included too. For bigger commercial roofs, we quote on size.
Does the report include photos?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.
What’s in the survey report?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. The most urgent items are made clear.
For landlords and managing agents
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. We agree a time with the tenant beforehand.
Letting agents and landlords in Wivelrod book surveys as well as homeowners. A written report with photos gives you a clear record of the roof, which helps you plan work between tenancies.

Why it’s worth a survey now in Wivelrod
If a big flat roof may need replacing, knowing the wet areas first is useful. Images backed by moisture readings show where problems seem to be before you spend. Around Wivelrod, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it’s left.
Price depends partly on the package: from £150 for Basic, £250 for Standard and £400 for Premium, including VAT. The roof’s size, height and access matter as well.
