Thermal imaging roof survey in Woodside, Windsor and Maidenhead

- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Water that travels before it shows
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
Airspace, weather and Woodside roofs
If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. The wider area around Woodside has a long history of building, with St Leonard's Hill about 2.6 miles north. If yours is one of the older homes, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
If you run a business near The Lexicon, large commercial roofs are frequently easiest to see from above or with a thermal imager. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps. If you look after a building such as Cranbourne Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Woodside
A thermal survey isn’t a quick fix for every roof problem. Sun, shade, reflective surfaces and wind can all change what the camera shows. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. The report is clear about what the images show and what they do not. If a finding cannot be confirmed, the report suggests a next step. Typical surveys look at moisture around outlets and upstands and patches of heat loss across the roof, on flat roofs, commercial roofs and loft conversions.
In a village or hamlet like Woodside, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you cannot get from the ground. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned in advance. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Woodside
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Woodside?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Woodside?
Yes, Woodside is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of London and South East England. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and the airspace and weather are checked before every flight.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
Surveys run on any day of the week. To find a day that suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What does a thermal roof survey show?
It records surface temperature across the roof. Unusual patterns can point to trapped water, gaps in insulation or heat escaping, which we then check with moisture readings.
How quickly is the report sent?
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.
Before and after the survey
A survey works best with a little help from you, before and after. Tips:
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Keep outlets and gutters clear to stop water sitting
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
Where a pattern cannot be confirmed, the report says what could help, for instance electronic leak detection or a roofer opening up a small section.
Check that loft insulation is laid evenly and hasn’t been pushed aside. Insulation is often moved when people work in the roof space.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.
How we price thermal roof surveys
We confirm the exact price before booking. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- Roof area
- Height and safe access
Prices start from £150, with VAT included, for a Basic Survey. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You’ll know the price for the job before booking.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
- Where water is showing inside, if it is
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
Our phone lines are open seven days a week, including Saturdays and Sundays. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or email us.
What happens if roof problems are left?
Without thermal imaging, the only way to see how far water has spread is often to open up the roof. It helps when deciding whether to patch an area or replace the roof. For an older or listed building in a place like Woodside, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so leaving a defect until it’s urgent leaves less time to plan.
We offer three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you need to know.

Can I check my roof myself?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from ground level: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.

How it works
We will ask a few questions first, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. Then the inspection itself takes between one and two hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Older roofs in small places like Woodside can have low, tight loft spaces, so tell us about the loft hatch and any ladder. Only areas that can be reached safely are inspected.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
How to prepare
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
