FAQs for Wroxton
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Wroxton?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it’s in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
Do you cover smaller places like Wroxton?
Yes, we do. We work right 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.
Can you inspect my roof with a drone?
Yes, where applicable and safe. We fly a sub-250g drone and we are a CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID). It is included in the Drone Roof Survey and, where it applies, the Premium Survey.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. Our report may flag materials that could contain asbestos, but confirming it is a job for a specialist asbestos surveyor. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
What insurance do you have?
We’re covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
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, as the camera alone can’t prove a leak.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Thermal roof survey in Wroxton: what you get
Our thermal survey records how the surface temperature varies across your roof. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or places where heat is getting out. It is 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. We survey commercial roofs, flat roofs and ceilings below the roof, and people most often book us about heat escaping through the roof and damp around chimneys and parapets.
Older buildings in small places like Wroxton 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. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. It is useful straight away, and a good reference for later.

What we do, step by step
Every roof is different; as a rough guide, the survey takes about 1–2 hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. You’re welcome to ask questions while we are there. For a village or hamlet like Wroxton, the journey is planned beforehand: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Make sure we can get to the back of the property
- Point out any leaks or damp patches

How the survey changes by roof type
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Felt and asphalt sit tight to the layers below, which frequently helps the camera pick up differences. Any patterns are checked with moisture readings.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Cracks in GRP can let water into the boards beneath. We check cracks by eye and use the images to see whether there’s a pattern around them.
DIY checks: what’s safe
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Water spilling over the edge can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, checking for stains, damp wood or chinks of daylight.
What affects the price in Wroxton
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
- Building height and the viewpoints available
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so the price reflects that. You’ll know the figure before booking.
Booking your survey
Here’s what helps us most when you get in touch:
- What made you get in touch
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access

What we are asked to look at in Wroxton
Some defects simply cannot be seen with the eye. Wet insulation, gaps in insulation and heat loss are frequently invisible from outside. A thermal camera adds another way of finding them.
Typical things we are asked to look at include:
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Thin or uneven insulation in the roof
- Stains that keep coming back
Take a building like Wroxton Church of England Primary School: big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- How long they’ve been surveying roofs
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord. Access is agreed with the tenant beforehand.
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos.
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Wroxton
If the drone is used for your survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Older buildings in west Oxfordshire frequently have Cotswold stone slate roofs, and some Oxfordshire villages still have thatch. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from the ground, drone photos and thermal images add detail.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for example near Castle Quay Shopping Centre, big, flat commercial roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images help most.
