Ashurst Bridge Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof for Ashurst Bridge, from an experienced roof surveyor. Every survey comes with a written report and photos.
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
Thermal roof survey in Ashurst Bridge
Our thermal survey records how the surface temperature varies across your roof. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or places where heat is getting out. The camera does not see water itself, so we check what it shows with moisture readings. Thermal imaging is included in our Premium Survey, from £400. Conditions on the day affect the results, and the report explains how. Common reasons to book are heat escaping through the roof and damp around chimneys and parapets, across loft conversions, insulated roof spaces and ceilings below the roof.
Villages like Ashurst Bridge 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. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
Findings are set out part by part, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Questions from Ashurst Bridge
How do I find out if my home in Ashurst Bridge is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. It is worth checking before planning roof work, as both can affect what’s allowed.
Is Ashurst Bridge within the area you cover?
Yes, Ashurst Bridge is covered. We cover the whole of London and South East England, from towns to the smallest villages. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.
Does thermal imaging work on slate and tile roofs?
It can help, but the results are often less clear than on a flat roof. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we combine it with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access.
Do you take photos of the roof?
Yes, plenty. Pictures sit next to the findings they show, which makes the report easy to follow.
What’s in the report?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, and ends with what we recommend. The most urgent items are made clear.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it is safe. Most of what we need can be seen from safe viewpoints, the loft and, where it applies, a drone, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
What does a thermal roof survey show?
The images show how warm or cool each part of the surface is. Unusual patterns can point to trapped water, gaps in insulation or heat escaping, and we check them with moisture readings.
When to book a survey in Ashurst Bridge
After a repair, some owners want to know whether the roof has dried out. A thermal survey with moisture readings can show whether wet areas remain, given suitable conditions on the day.
Typical things we’re asked to look at include:
- Stains that keep coming back
- Cold areas below the roof
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
If you look after a building like Hazel Wood Infant School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.
Choosing a roof surveyor
- Whether the price includes VAT
- How long the report takes to arrive
- Will they check the loft as well as the outside?
- How they plan to inspect the roof safely
Airspace, weather and Ashurst Bridge roofs
Ashurst Bridge lies within about 3 miles of the sea, and wind off the sea can be strong. Calm, dry conditions after a sunny day suit thermal imaging best, so the visit is planned around the forecast. The wider area around Ashurst Bridge has a long history of building, with Southampton Tudor House and Garden about 4.8 miles east. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Matthew, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.

Advice
What a thermal roof survey doesn’t cover
It helps to know what a survey will not do before booking:
- An energy rating for the building
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
If you’re not sure which survey you need, call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and we’ll give you a straight answer. What our survey covers.

Leave it or get it looked at?
A damp patch that keeps coming back normally has a cause that hasn’t been found. Thermal imaging with moisture readings can help narrow it down, rather than more guesswork. Matching old materials, such as handmade tiles or stone slates, can take time to source. Spotting a problem early leaves room to find them.
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Our price is from £400, including VAT. Size, height and access decide where your roof falls.

Roof by roof
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Problems where roof slopes and walls meet are frequently hidden. A careful visual inspection goes alongside the images.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Even on pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp. The report explains what the images can tell you and what they cannot.
What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of roofs, including extensions and garages
- Building height and the viewpoints available
- How complicated the roof is, with its valleys, chimneys and parapets
- Roof area
There are three survey packages: the Basic Survey from £150, the Standard Survey from £250 and the Premium Survey from £400, all including VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you want to find out.
