Thermal imaging roof survey in Appleshaw, Hampshire
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof for Appleshaw, from an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- Cold areas below the roof
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
When we price a survey, we consider:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- The use of thermal imaging or a drone
- Height and safe access
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, with VAT included. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical words. Just tell us:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- What made you get in touch
A quick phone call is usually the easiest start: ring 07833 053749 or email us. You will have a price before anything is arranged.
Thermal roof survey in Appleshaw: what you get
A thermal survey is not a quick fix for every roof problem. Sun, shade, reflective surfaces and wind can all change what the camera shows. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. Our report says plainly what the camera picked up and how sure we can be. If a finding cannot be confirmed, the report suggests a next step. We survey commercial roofs, flat roofs and loft conversions, and the problems we’re asked to look at most are areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions and damp patches with no obvious cause.
Older buildings in small places like Appleshaw may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager doesn’t touch the roof, so it is a gentle way to see the condition of an old roof, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
You receive the findings by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What else we do in Appleshaw
Flying and imaging in Appleshaw
Older buildings may be listed or sit in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent. 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 Peter in the Wood, 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. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.
Appleshaw is about 4 miles north-west of Andover, in Hampshire. Appleshaw gets the same service as everywhere else we work: a close look at whatever is safely visible, photos and a clear written report. Across Hampshire, we cover Appleshaw and the places around it. Our Southampton page covers surveys nearby.
We survey roofs across the SP11 postcode area for thermal roof surveys. If you need a thermal roof survey at a property on Greensey and West Park or anywhere close by, we can survey it. If you’re just outside Appleshaw, we cover Redenham (1 mile north-west), Clanville (1 mile north-east), Faberstown (1 mile west), Weyhill (1 mile south) and Fyfield (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also cover Andover (4 miles south-east), Tidworth (4 miles west), Weeke (15 miles south-east), Ludgershall (3 miles north-west), Whitchurch (10 miles east) and East Anton (4 miles east).

Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Talk to us about the weather when booking
- File the images with your roof records
- Clear a path to the loft hatch before we arrive
- Check outlets after heavy rain
You also get an in-person consultation with a Premium Survey, so you can go through the images with us. A follow-up 12 months later is included as well.
Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof in suitable weather.
How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, photograph what we find and make notes for the report. It normally takes an hour or two for most houses, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Appleshaw often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. 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.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking before the day
- Jot down any questions you want answered
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
How to book
If you have photos of the roof, send them over. Take them safely from the ground or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email.

Common questions in Appleshaw
How do I find out if my home in Appleshaw is listed?
Your council is the best source, with Historic England’s list for listed buildings. A change of roofing material may need consent in either case, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Is Appleshaw in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Appleshaw is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and some details.
How do I book a survey in Appleshaw?
Simply ring 07833 053749 or email us. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date.
Does someone need to be in?
Not necessarily. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. The written report follows by email.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, as long as access is agreed. The roof of a block or converted house is often shared, so we need permission from the building owner or managing agent. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Can you check my loft insulation with a thermal camera?
It can show temperature patterns that point to missing or thin insulation. The difference is clearest when the building is heated and it is colder outside. We look from the loft as well, where there’s safe access.
Roof by roof
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.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
From inside the loft, the camera can help with damp around chimneys, valleys and roof windows. Findings are checked with moisture readings.
Why get it checked now?
For buyers, a thermal survey adds detail that a visual inspection can’t give. Finding hidden moisture before exchange gives you facts to raise with the seller. Older and listed buildings around Appleshaw may need consent and matching materials for repairs, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 with VAT included. We can help you choose the package that fits what you want to find out.

Checking the roof from the ground
After heavy rain, check ceilings and the tops of walls for new stains. Photograph them and note the date, as it helps a surveyor trace the cause.
Keep a simple record: dates of leaks, photos from ground level and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book and it will help the survey.
