About our thermal roof survey in Axmansford
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, so it’s easy to see which part of the roof each one shows. 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. If you’ve noticed damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys and moisture around outlets and upstands, a survey will tell you what’s going on, whatever the roof.
In a small place like Axmansford, open ground can mean strong wind. A small drone cannot fly safely in strong wind or a downpour, and thermal imaging works best with little wind. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
The report records the roof as we found it on the day. That makes it useful now and a handy reference later, for example when you want to check whether anything has changed.

What happens if roof problems are left?
Once insulation under a membrane is wet, it tends to stay wet. In time, it stops insulating properly and can damage the deck. Finding the wet areas sooner keeps the work smaller. Outbuildings and barns around Axmansford are easy to forget, but a failed roof there can spoil what’s stored inside. It’s worth including them in a survey before a winter does the damage.
Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.

Honest limits
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations
- A structural engineer’s assessment
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor

Thermal roof surveys in Axmansford: local notes
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Across the South East, older homes tend to have slate or clay tiles, and many later ones concrete tiles. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up close-up aerial shots and thermal images help. With The Vyne about 4.9 miles south-east, Axmansford sits in an area with a long building history. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
Take an older house close to Church of St Stephen: thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Axmansford is about 2 miles west of Tadley, in Hampshire. In Axmansford, as across Hampshire, every roof gets the same careful survey. Axmansford is one of the places in Hampshire where we work for thermal roof surveys. There’s also a page for Reading.

What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, about the roof’s history, any leaks and past repairs. The inspection then takes roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, rising to roughly 3–4 hours on a commercial building. Somewhere as small as Axmansford, access is often the only tricky part. Mention any outbuildings, barns or garages you want included, and anything about the roof you already know. Visits can be on weekdays, Saturdays or Sundays.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe viewpoints.
- A thermal camera records how the surface temperature varies across the roof.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there’s safe access.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Make sure pets are kept safely away
- Point out any leaks or damp patches
- Let us know about parking near the property

Related advice
Do you need a thermal roof survey in Axmansford?
Unexplained damp is one of the main reasons people ask for thermal imaging. Water can travel under a roof covering or along timbers before it shows inside. Temperature patterns can help narrow down where to look.
These are some of the problems a survey can pick up:
- Stains that keep coming back
- Gaps in loft insulation
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
Take a building like The Hurst School: big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.
Before booking any roof surveyor
- Their track record with similar roofs
- Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
Questions from Axmansford
Do you cover smaller places like Axmansford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I find out if my home in Axmansford is listed?
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.
How long does the survey take?
Expect it to take between one and two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. The written report follows by email, on the timescale of your package.
What’s the best way to book?
Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first, with whoever owns or manages the building. Mention it when you contact us and we will plan the survey around it.
Can thermal imaging show missing insulation?
The camera can point to heat loss and gaps in insulation. We do not give energy ratings or heat loss calculations, but the images show where improvements may help.
What does the report include?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photographs throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
How the survey changes by roof type
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Water often gets in where roofs meet walls, parapets or valley gutters. Thermal imaging can help show damp patterns around them.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Many single-ply and EPDM roofs sit on insulation boards. Wet boards can show as temperature differences on the images.
What affects the price in Axmansford
Prices always include VAT. The things that change the price are:
- Extra roofs, like extensions, dormers or garages
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- The size of the roof
- How tall the building is and how easy the roof is to see
What a survey costs comes down to the roof itself: how big it is, how high it is, the number of separate roofs and how safely it can be seen. Thermal roof survey starts from £400, including VAT.
What to let us know when you contact us
We’ll typically ask about:
- Pictures from the garden or a window, if you have them
- Access details, such as a loft hatch or a shared roof
- The kind of building and roof involved
- Any marks or damp showing indoors
