About thermal roof surveys in Hampshire

A thermal survey is not a quick fix for every roof problem. It shows surface temperature, and things like sun, shade, reflections and wind all affect the readings. We back up the images with moisture readings and a careful look at the roof. 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. Common reasons to book are cold areas below the roof and damp around roof outlets and upstands, on loft conversions, insulated roof spaces and pitched roof slopes.

We do not take risks to get a closer look. We inspect what can be seen safely, and if part of the roof cannot be seen, the report says so. Most visits take an hour or two for a house, and longer for a large or complex roof.

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.
We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there is safe access.
We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.

What affects the price in Hampshire

Drones, thermal imaging and roofs across Hampshire

Airspace across Hampshire varies from one address to the next. Every flight is checked first, and the weather has the final say.

Our surveys reach from London out to Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Essex, the Thames Valley, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, and Hampshire is well within that. We survey on any day of the week. Coastal parts of Hampshire can be windy, which matters for drone flights, as a small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind. Driving rain and salt air are hard on roofs there too.

Basingstoke: Anyone responsible for a site like King's Furlong Infant School and Nursery will know that a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. Historic houses such as The Vyne, about 2.9 miles north, show how far back building around Basingstoke goes. A drone or thermal survey doesn’t involve any work on the roof, which suits older buildings.

Different roofs, different checks

Loft insulation

Loft insulation is easily disturbed when people store things or run cables. Thermal images can show where it has been pushed aside.

GRP fibreglass roofs

Water under a GRP roof can reach the timber deck. Thermal imaging can suggest where that may be happening.

DIY checks: what’s safe

Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Don’t go up yourself.

What you can’t do safely is get up close. Slates, tiles, flat roofs and rooflights can give way, and a fall can be serious. That part is for a survey, using safe viewpoints and a drone where it applies.

Why roofs fail

On big commercial and residential flat roofs, thermal imaging helps owners plan. Patterns can point to wet areas and show which parts look sound, so we know where to take moisture readings.

We’re frequently asked to look at:

Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
Leaks far from where the stain appears
Damp patches with no obvious cause
Cold areas below the roof

Before and after the survey

Here are a few things we’d tell any owner, before and after a survey:

Note where damp appears and after what weather
Photograph damp patches with the date
Keep the heating on as usual before a heat loss survey
Keep the report to compare against after any repair

If you’re buying, the report gives you specific points to raise with the seller or agent. It is your decision how to use it, whether you ask for work before completion or discuss the price.

Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Catching a leak early stops insulation getting soaked.

What happens if roof problems are left?

Trapped water can harm decks, timbers and ceilings the longer it stays. Surveying sooner gives you more choice about what to do.

Questions to ask before you book

Whether the inside of the roof is included
What the report includes, and whether it has photos
Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
How long they’ve been surveying roofs

Hampshire questions

Will you photograph what you find?

Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.

What does a thermal roof survey show?

A thermal camera shows differences in surface temperature. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or heat escaping. We check what it shows with moisture readings.

Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?

Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with the freeholder or managing agent. Mention it when you contact us and we’ll plan the survey around it.

How do I book a survey in Hampshire?

It’s easiest to ring 07833 053749 or send us an email. Tell us the address and a little about the roof, and we will take it from there. Surveys run on any day of the week.

What conditions are best for thermal imaging?

The weather makes a real difference. It works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind. Rain and strong wind can make the images less clear, so we discuss the forecast when booking.

Will thermal imaging find my leak?

It can help narrow down where water may be getting in. Patterns can suggest where trapped water has spread. It’s used alongside a close inspection and moisture readings because the camera can’t confirm water on its own.

Does someone need to be in?

That depends on the survey. For inside areas and the roof space, someone has to give us access, while outside access can be discussed as you book.
