Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Ampfield
Your report sets out the thermal images alongside ordinary photos, so it is easy to see which part of the roof each one shows. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. Premium reports are sent the same day. If you have questions, the in-person consultation gives you time to go through them. A follow-up 12 months later is included too. If you’ve noticed missing or slipped insulation and damp around chimneys and parapets, we can find out what’s behind it.
Some older homes in villages like Ampfield are listed or in a conservation area. A look from the air or with a thermal camera doesn’t touch the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photos, sent by email. It explains the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend.

Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Ampfield
Once a leak has been fixed, people frequently ask whether the roof is still wet. Thermal images and moisture readings can suggest whether moisture is still trapped when the conditions on the day are suitable.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Possible trapped moisture under a flat roof covering
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Heat escaping through the roof
Take a building like Ampfield Church of England Primary School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the price includes VAT
- What they won’t be able to tell you
- How they’ll see the roof: from the ground, the loft, the roof or by drone
- Are they insured for the work?
Different roofs, different checks
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
These coverings sit directly on the layers beneath, so temperature differences often show through. We confirm any patterns with moisture readings.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Parapet and valley gutters can overflow inside a building. We use the camera and moisture readings to help follow it.
The survey, step by step
It helps to start with what’s prompted the survey: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. It helps us focus on what matters most to you. Most visits take about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. In a hamlet or village like Ampfield, a postcode does not always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Getting ready for the survey
- Leave side gates unlocked
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Tell us about parking before the day
Booking a survey
You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Advice
How we price thermal roof surveys
The price reflects the time and kit the roof needs. The main factors are:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Commercial roofs and larger buildings
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
The Premium Survey includes thermal imaging and drone inspection where it applies, which starts from £400, with VAT included. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
What to tell us when you contact us
A little information up front helps. Please include:
- The address and postcode of the property
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
- Any deadline, such as an exchange date
- What’s prompted the survey
When you are ready to go ahead, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email. From there it’s a case of choosing a package, agreeing the price and fixing a day.

Thermal roof surveys in Ampfield: local notes
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Where a roof is steep, tall or hard to see from ground level, drone photos and thermal images add detail. If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mark, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that is where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Without thermal imaging, the only way to see how far water has spread is frequently to open up the roof. It helps when deciding whether to patch an area or replace the roof. Outbuildings and barns around Ampfield are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. A quick look before winter can save a lot.
Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.

Common questions in Ampfield
Is my home in Ampfield listed or in a conservation area?
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. If a home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission.
Do you carry out roof surveys in Ampfield?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Ampfield is part of that. You can call 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a few details.
What will the report tell me?
A written report with photos, covering the condition of the roof, the defects we found and what we recommend, by urgency where it matters. Standard adds moisture detection and a structural check; Premium adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where it applies and structural analysis.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in if we’re looking inside or in the loft. We will talk about access as you book.
What happens next?
You will get the report by email. The Standard Survey includes a follow-up consultation, and the Premium Survey an in-person consultation, so you can talk the findings through.
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.
What does a thermal roof survey show?
The camera records how the surface temperature varies. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or heat escaping. We check what it shows with moisture readings.
