Anmore Thermal Roof Survey
A careful look at the roof at your property in Anmore, and put it all in a photo-illustrated written report.
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
Tips that help
You do not need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Check from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
- Keep a record of when stains appear
Many people send the report to roofers, who can then quote for the areas shown. Each thermal image is matched to a normal photo, so the areas are easy to locate.
Have small defects in the covering fixed early. Once water gets under a membrane, it can travel far before it appears inside.
How a thermal roof survey works in Anmore
Our thermal survey records how the surface temperature varies across your roof. Those patterns can point to trapped moisture, missing insulation or heat escaping. It is important to know that the camera shows temperature, not water, so we check what it shows with moisture readings. It comes as part of our Premium Survey, from £400. The report also notes the conditions on the day, since they affect what the camera can show. We survey pitched roof slopes, flat roofs and ceilings below the roof, and people most often book us about cold areas below the roof and damp around chimneys and parapets.
Villages like Anmore frequently stand in open country, where wind can be strong. Strong wind or a downpour stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
The report doesn’t just list problems. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

Common roof problems in Anmore
People often book a thermal survey when a damp patch has no obvious cause. Water can travel under a roof covering or along timbers before it shows inside. The camera helps narrow the search.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Water that travels before it shows
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
In and around Anmore, as anywhere, a roof is easiest to deal with when its problems are found early.

Why it is worth a survey now in Anmore
Without thermal imaging, the only way to see how far water has spread is often to open up the roof. That helps you and your roofer decide what really needs replacing. Older and listed buildings around Anmore may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so leaving a defect until it is urgent leaves less time to plan.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, with VAT included. The Standard Survey starts from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, both inc. VAT. You will know the price for the job before booking.
Why book with us
- Weekday and weekend surveys

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: broken slates or tiles in the garden, gaps along the ridge or loose lead are signs to note. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
A DIY look is useful, but it isn’t a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from ground level.
What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we’ll take it from there. A typical survey takes between one and two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Somewhere like Anmore needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. On the day, we inspect what can be seen safely, inside and out.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- You get a report with thermal images, photos and our recommendations.
Preparing for the visit
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Leave a clear route to the loft
- Find any records of previous roof work

Advice
Questions from Anmore
Will you come out to Anmore?
Yes, Anmore is on our map. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
How do I find out if my home in Anmore is listed?
Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the local council can tell you about conservation areas. 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.
Can thermal imaging show missing insulation?
It can show temperature patterns that point to missing or thin insulation. The difference is clearest when the building is heated and it’s colder outside. Where we can reach the loft safely, we check there too.
How do I book a survey in Anmore?
It is easiest to phone 07833 053749 or email us. Give us the address and some details about the roof. We survey on any day of the week.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
It is a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. What it shows depends on the weather and the roof. If the source cannot be confirmed, we’ll say what could help next, such as electronic leak detection.
Are you structural engineers?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Can you survey at the weekend?
We survey seven days a week: Monday to Friday, Saturdays and Sundays. Just tell us the days that suit you.
What a thermal roof survey doesn’t cover
It’s a careful look at the roof, not the whole story. The main limits are:
- Readings unaffected by sun, shade or reflections
- Confirming water without moisture readings

Thermal roof surveys around Anmore
Anmore lies within about 4 miles of the sea, and coastal wind can be strong. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
Take a building like Denmead Infant School: thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Anmore is about 1 mile north-west of Waterlooville, in Hampshire. From houses to flats and shops in Anmore, we can survey the roof. Our area takes in places right across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Portsmouth.
