Thermal roof survey in Anna Valley
A thermal survey isn’t a quick fix for every roof problem. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. 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. If a finding cannot be confirmed, the report suggests a next step. We survey commercial roofs, loft conversions and flat roofs, and common reasons people get in touch are damp around roof outlets and upstands and ceilings that feel colder in places.
Villages like Anna Valley often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. High wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
Every survey ends with a written report, with photographs, emailed to you. It sets out the condition of the roof, any defects and our written recommendations.

Drones, thermal imaging and Anna Valley roofs
If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first. 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.
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, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that’s where a view from above or with a thermal imager helps.
Anna Valley is about 2 miles south-west of Andover, in Hampshire. From houses to flats and shops in Anna Valley, we can survey the roof on a weekday or at the weekend. Anna Valley is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. There’s also a page for Southampton.

Before and after the survey
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Let us know where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
- Take photos of stains as they appear, so we can compare
- Check from the ground or a window, never by climbing
- Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
Premium Surveys include an in-person consultation, giving you the chance to talk through the images and findings. There is a 12-month follow-up too.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
We survey roofs for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. The report gives you a dated record of the roof, with photos, useful for planning maintenance.
We also survey roofs for businesses and commercial landlords, from shops and offices to industrial units. Larger roofs take longer, so they’re priced to suit.
Anna Valley questions
Do you cover smaller places like Anna Valley?
Yes, Anna Valley 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 Anna Valley is listed?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
What’s the best way to book?
To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
Do you carry out surveys on Saturdays and Sundays?
We carry out surveys seven days a week. To find a day that suits you, call 07833 053749 or drop us an email.
Can you give me structural calculations?
No. Our survey is not a structural engineer’s report. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we will recommend one.
Can thermal imaging show missing insulation?
Gaps and thin areas of insulation can show up on the camera. It shows most clearly when it’s warm inside and cold outside. Where we can reach the loft safely, we check there too.
What does a thermal roof survey show?
A thermal camera shows differences in surface temperature. Those patterns can point to trapped moisture, missing insulation or heat loss. We check what it shows with moisture readings.
Checking the roof from the ground
Your own check is a good start, but it is not a survey. You will not see flashings, valleys or the backs of chimneys properly from the ground.
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 we’re asked to look at in Anna Valley
Buyers sometimes want more than a visual look at the roof. The Premium Survey brings thermal imaging and a drone inspection where it applies, with a report the same day, which suits a purchase that is moving quickly.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Stains that keep coming back
- Ceilings that feel colder in places
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
Anyone responsible for a site like Balksbury Junior School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Their track record with similar roofs
- What happens after the report arrives
- How soon the report will arrive
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
How the survey changes by roof type
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Built-up felt and asphalt roofs can hide trapped water for a long time. Thermal imaging helps suggest where it is, when the conditions allow.
Loft insulation
The difference is clearest when the home is heated and it is cold out. Our report notes how the conditions affected the images.
What happens on the day
After the inspection, everything we found is written up in a report with photos, emailed to you. As for time on site, it typically takes an hour or two for a house, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Older rural homes like those around Anna Valley can have a main roof, lower lean-to roofs and outbuildings all joined together. Each part is looked at from wherever it can safely be seen.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Getting ready for the survey
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- Check the loft hatch can be reached
- For flats, check roof access has been agreed
