How a thermal roof survey works in Woolley Green
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. The camera does not see water itself, so findings are checked 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, pitched roof slopes and commercial roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are stains that keep coming back and areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions.
In a small place like Woolley Green, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or heavy rain, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t.

What happens on the day
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we look at everything we can see safely, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. The survey normally takes an hour or two for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. In a hamlet or village like Woolley Green, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. The visit itself is the same as anywhere else.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Check the loft hatch can be reached

What affects the price in Woolley Green

- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The roof’s overall size
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The shape of the roof and its details
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how it can be reached and seen safely. Our price is from £400, including VAT.
Helping us price your survey
To price your survey accurately, we’ll ask about:
- Anything about access we should know
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- The type of building and roof, such as pitched or flat
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window

Different roofs, different checks
Loft insulation
In the roof space, the camera can pick up gaps and thin areas of insulation. We inspect the loft where it can be reached safely.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Glossy GRP can reflect heat. We allow for reflections and confirm findings with moisture readings.

What we are asked to look at in Woolley Green
Once a leak has been fixed, people often ask whether the roof is still wet. A thermal survey with moisture readings can show whether wet areas remain when the conditions on the day are suitable.
Here are some of the things we see often:
- Water that travels before it shows
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Stains that keep coming back
Anyone responsible for a site like Manor Green School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Thermal roof surveys in Woolley Green: local notes
About 3.3 miles north-west lies Harleyford Manor, a reminder of how long the area around Woolley Green has been built on. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Woolley Green is about 1 mile from White Waltham Airfield. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
For an older house near a landmark like Saint John the Evangelist, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

Common questions in Woolley Green
Will you come out to Woolley Green?
Yes. Woolley Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our area covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Are there drone restrictions around Woolley Green?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. White Waltham Airfield is about 1 mile away, so we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before any flight. The flight also waits for calm, dry weather, though the rest of the survey goes ahead either way.
Do I have to be there for the survey?
It depends on what we need to see. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in.
Will the camera show exactly where the water is?
Thermal imaging shows temperature rather than water. Wet insulation holds heat longer than dry, so it can stand out, but we check each finding with moisture readings.
Will the survey show heat loss through my roof?
Gaps and thin areas of insulation can show up on the camera. The difference is clearest when the building is heated and it is colder outside. Where we can reach the loft safely, we check there too.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance, and we can provide details if a managing agent needs them.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
It is a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. The results depend on conditions on the day. If the source can’t be confirmed, we will say what could help next, such as electronic leak detection.
Why get it checked now?
Thermal images can suggest the extent of wet areas without cutting into the roof. That helps you and your roofer decide what really needs replacing. In a place like Woolley Green, a barn or garage roof left to fail puts whatever is inside at risk. It is worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.

We only report what can be seen safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- The condition of timbers we cannot see
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
