Thermal imaging roof survey in Wycombe Marsh, Buckinghamshire
Find out the condition of the roof at your property in Wycombe Marsh. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Cold areas below the roof
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
Different roofs, different checks
GRP fibreglass roofs
Glossy GRP can reflect heat. We take that into account and check findings with moisture readings.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Many single-ply and EPDM roofs sit on insulation boards. Wet boards can show as temperature differences on the images.
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Wycombe Marsh
Thermal imaging is a useful tool, but it has limits. Sun, shade, reflective surfaces and wind can all change what the camera shows. That’s why we check findings with moisture readings and a close visual inspection. The report is clear about what the images show and what they don’t. Where something cannot be confirmed, we say what would help next. Typical surveys look at wet insulation beneath the membrane and moisture around outlets and upstands, across pitched roof slopes, flat roofs and ceilings below the roof.
Some older homes in villages like Wycombe Marsh are listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager does not touch 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.
After the visit, you get a report with photos, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Wycombe Marsh questions
Do you carry out roof surveys in Wycombe Marsh?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photos, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Wycombe Marsh?
Yes, Wycombe Marsh is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house, with the route planned beforehand.
Will you go up on the roof?
Not always. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs cannot always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where applicable let us see the rest.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.
Is this a RICS survey?
No. We look at the roof, not the whole building, and it is not a RICS Level 2 or Level 3 survey. It can sit alongside a RICS survey if you want both.
How do I book a survey in Wycombe Marsh?
It is easiest to ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. Let us know the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. We survey on any day of the week.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
What we do, step by step
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. The survey normally takes an hour or two at a typical home, and more on a big or complicated roof. For a village or hamlet like Wycombe Marsh, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect whatever is safely visible, inside and out.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there is safe access, in the loft.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before we arrive
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
- Move anything stored under the loft hatch
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
Getting a price
Not sure which survey you need? The easiest way is to call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and describe the roof and why you want it surveyed. We will talk you through the options and what they cost.
Advice
When you need someone else
No survey can tell you everything, and it’s better to know them up front. Keep these in mind:
- An energy rating for the building
- Proving moisture from the images alone
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll suggest the right survey. What a survey covers and does not.
What we look at
- Flat roofs
- Commercial roofs
- Loft conversions
- Insulated roof spaces
- Ceilings below the roof
- Pitched roof slopes
Thermal roof surveys around Wycombe Marsh
The wider area around Wycombe Marsh has a long history of building, with Hughenden Manor about 2.8 miles north-west. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near Eden, a commercial roof can be photographed from above without anyone walking on it. If yours is one of the older homes in the streets near Church of St Anne, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where photos from the air and thermal images help.

When to book a survey in Wycombe Marsh
Some defects simply cannot be seen with the eye. Trapped moisture, missing insulation and hidden heat loss are three examples. Thermal imaging gives us another way to look for them.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Stains that keep coming back
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
If you look after a building such as Marsh School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Whether the price includes VAT
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- What they will not be able to tell you
- Their drone registration, if they fly one
What you can safely check yourself
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can point to a blockage or a sagging run.
A lot can be seen from the ground. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
