Thermal imaging roof survey in Wormley, Surrey
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof for Wormley, from an experienced roof surveyor. You get a clear written report with photographs.
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Water that travels before it shows
Why it’s worth a survey now in Wormley
Wet insulation under a flat roof does not dry out on its own while the covering stays on. Over time, it insulates less well and can harm the deck. Finding the wet areas sooner keeps the work smaller. For an older or listed building in a place like Wormley, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how it can be reached and seen safely. Prices start from £400, including VAT.

Thermal roof survey in Wormley
A thermal camera can help when the cause of damp isn’t obvious. Leaks frequently run along a roof before they appear on a ceiling, and the camera can show patterns that help us follow it. The images are used alongside a visual inspection and moisture readings, so the findings do not rely on the camera alone. If you are worried about water getting in at parapets and stacks and wet insulation beneath the membrane, a survey will tell you what’s going on.
Older buildings in small places like Wormley may be 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, before anyone decides what work it needs. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
Where we cannot see part of the roof, the report says so. You’ll know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

Common questions in Wormley
Will you come out to Wormley?
Yes, we do. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Is Wormley in the area you cover?
Yes, Wormley is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Wormley as anywhere else.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address. We’ll ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
What does a thermal roof survey show?
The images show how warm or cool each part of the surface is. Unusual patterns can point to trapped water, gaps in insulation or heat escaping, which we then check with moisture readings.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes. The report includes photographs of what we found, so you can see exactly what each finding refers to.
How long does the survey take?
It usually takes about one to two hours on an ordinary house, and more on a big or complicated roof. You’ll then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from whoever owns or manages the building. We can only inspect what we are given access to.
When you need someone else
A survey is a proper look at the roof, but it can’t do everything. The main limits are:
- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or send us an email and we will point you to the right survey before you book. The full list of what we check.
What this survey covers
- Insulated roof spaces
- Ceilings below the roof
- Flat roofs
- Loft conversions
- Commercial roofs
- Pitched roof slopes
Should I look at the roof myself first?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from the ground or a window. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Thermal roof surveys around Wormley
Before planning roof work on an older home, find out whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Listed building consent covers changes to a listed building’s special interest, and an Article 4 direction can bring extra controls in a conservation area. Older houses across Surrey often have handmade clay tiles, and many have tile-hanging. Some old buildings in Surrey and Sussex have Horsham stone slab roofs. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from the ground, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.
The streets around a church like Church of All Saints are frequently among the oldest in a place, and if your house is among the older ones nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

How the survey works
We work from the outside in: first the slopes, edges and gutters from every safe viewpoint, then the roof space where it can be reached. In total, it takes roughly 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. For a village or hamlet like Wormley, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it’s safe.
- First we go over the roof, the problem you’ve noticed and the conditions forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there is safe access.
- You get a report with thermal images, photographs and our recommendations.
Before the survey
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Tell us where we can park nearby
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
Getting a price

Common roof problems in Wormley
Some owners book because the rooms under the roof feel cold. Missing or slipped insulation can stand out as temperature differences, particularly when it is warm inside and cold outside.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
Take a building like King Edward's School Witley: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Will the report include photos?
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What the survey won’t cover
- Whether the loft is part of the inspection
