Thermal Roof Survey in Bashley
Get a clear view of the roof at a property in Bashley from an independent roof surveyor. Visits run on weekdays and weekends, in the daytime.

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. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
Thermal roof survey in Bashley
We present each thermal image next to a normal photo of the same area, making it clear where on the roof each pattern is. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. Premium reports are sent the same day. You can talk the findings through with us at the in-person consultation. There’s a 12-month follow-up as well. Typical surveys look at gaps in loft insulation and wet areas near outlets and upstands, on insulated roof spaces, pitched roof slopes and loft conversions.
Older buildings in small places like Bashley may be listed or in a conservation area. A look from above or with a thermal imager does not touch the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care. Check with the council before planning any work on a listed building or one in a conservation area.
Pictures do a lot of the work in our reports, because a photo of a cracked flashing says more than a paragraph. If something couldn’t be seen safely, the report is clear about it.

FAQs for Bashley
Is Bashley in the area you cover?
Yes. We survey roofs across London and the South East, and Bashley is part of that. Just ring 07833 053749 or send us an email and let us know about the property.
Is Bashley within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?
Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.
What’s in the survey report?
It sets out what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, backed by photos. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
How experienced are you?
More than 5,000 surveys over 20+ years.
Is thermal imaging good for finding leaks?
It’s a useful tool for tracing leaks, but not the only one. What it shows depends on the weather and the roof. If the source cannot be confirmed, we will say what could help next, such as electronic leak detection.
How long is the visit?
Expect it to take roughly 1–2 hours for most houses, and about three to four hours for a commercial roof. You’ll then get the report by email, on the timescale of your package.

What happens on the day
A survey visit follows a simple order: we listen to what’s been worrying you, look at the roof from every safe viewpoint, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. It typically takes about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Somewhere as small as Bashley, access is often the only tricky part. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before the survey
- For flats, make sure roof access has been agreed
- If you are buying, check with the agent that we can get in
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
Book a survey

Tips that help
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week, before and after a survey:
- Check from ground level or a window, never by climbing
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Let us know where and when you’ve seen damp or stains
We note the weather and surface conditions, and how they may have affected the results. It helps you judge how firm each finding is.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Early action keeps insulation from staying wet.
Flying and imaging in Bashley
Bashley lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Thermal imaging works best after a sunny day, with a dry roof surface and little wind, so the date is chosen with the forecast in mind. Historic houses like Highcliffe Castle, about 3.5 miles south-west, show how far back building in the area around Bashley goes. Older roofs in the wider area can hide decades of patch repairs, so the detail matters, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
For an older house near a landmark such as St John, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from the ground, and that is where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps. If you look after a building such as Ballard School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit.

What we look for on each type of roof
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Damp at junctions can be hard to see by eye. A careful visual inspection goes alongside the images.
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Built-up felt and asphalt roofs can hide trapped water for a long time. Thermal imaging helps suggest where it is, given suitable conditions on the day.

Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. These are the things that affect it:
- Basic, Standard or Premium

- The height of the building and how the roof can safely be seen
To find out what your survey will cost, phone 07833 053749 or email us and let us know about the roof. The price is agreed before a date is set.
