Thermal imaging roof survey in Ashley Heath, Hampshire

- Ceilings that feel colder in places

Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Ashley Heath
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, making it clear where on the roof each pattern is. We explain what each pattern may mean, what the moisture readings found and what we recommend. With a Premium Survey, the report reaches you the same day. If you have questions, the in-person consultation gives you time to go through them. There is a 12-month follow-up as well. We are often asked to look into moisture around outlets and upstands and cold spots on ceilings under the roof, on loft conversions, flat roofs and insulated roof spaces.
Places like Ashley Heath can be near small airfields or other airspace restrictions, so the Drone Safety Map is checked before any flight. Open ground can mean stronger wind, which also affects whether a small drone can fly, while thermal imaging also works best with little wind. Neighbours’ privacy is part of planning each flight, along with the airspace and the weather.
The written findings come by email, ready to forward to whoever needs them. Basic reports come within 48 hours, Standard within 24–48 hours and Premium on the day.

Leave it or get it looked at?
Thermal images can suggest the extent of wet areas without cutting into the roof. That helps you and your roofer decide what really needs replacing. Around Ashley Heath, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than the original defect.
Every price we give includes VAT. Prices start from £400, including VAT. You will know the exact price before you book.

Checking the roof from ground level
Your own check is a good start, but it isn’t a survey. From ground level, valleys, flashings and the backs of chimneys are frequently out of sight.
Keep a simple record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry, as it helps us focus the survey.
Thermal roof surveys around Ashley Heath
If your home is older, it’s worth knowing whether it is listed or in a conservation area before planning roof work. 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. A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up aerial photos and thermal images help.
Take an older house close to All Saints: thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image.

What a survey costs
When we price a survey, we consider:
- Extensions, dormers and garages with roofs of their own
- The package you choose: Basic, Standard or Premium
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
Larger roofs, taller buildings and commercial roofs take longer, so they’re priced to match. You will know the figure before booking.

How it works
Before we start, let us know why you’ve booked: buying, a leak, storm damage, new work or just wanting to know where things stand. That way we can focus on what matters to you. The visit normally takes about one to two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. In a smaller place like Ashley Heath, as anywhere, the forecast plays a part: drone flights and thermal imaging need the right conditions, while a look from the ground and the loft can go ahead in most weather.
- We talk through the roof, any damp or leaks, and the weather expected on the day.
- We carry out a visual inspection of the roof from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- Areas that look unusual on the camera are checked with moisture readings where possible.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Before the survey
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
How to book
You can call us seven days a week. For a price or to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
Related advice
Signs you need a thermal roof survey in Ashley Heath
Unexplained damp is one of the main reasons people ask for thermal imaging. A leak may start well away from where the stain appears. The camera helps narrow the search.
A survey can pick up problems such as:
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Stains that keep coming back
- Cold areas below the roof
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
If you look after a building such as St Ives Primary & Nursery School, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once.
What to check before booking
- Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Is there a chance to talk the report through?
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
FAQs for Ashley Heath
Do you cover Ashley Heath?
Yes, Ashley Heath is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Ashley Heath as anywhere else.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Ashley Heath?
Check Historic England’s online list first, then ask the council about conservation areas and any Article 4 direction. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Will thermal imaging find my leak?
It’s a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. The results depend on conditions on the day. Where it can’t be pinned down, the report suggests a next step, such as electronic leak detection.
What conditions are best for thermal imaging?
The weather makes a real difference. A sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air all help. Rain and strong wind can make the images less clear, so we discuss the forecast when booking.
Will you photograph what you find?
Yes, every report has them. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, so you can see what we mean.
Do you use drones?
Where it helps and the rules allow, yes. We hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID and fly a drone under 250g, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
What insurance do you have?
We hold professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
