Thermal imaging roof survey in Baughurst, Hampshire
Not sure what state the roof is in? We carry out thermal roof surveys in Baughurst and across Hampshire, with plain-English findings.
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Gaps in loft insulation
What you can safely check yourself
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Use a torch and stay on the joists or boards, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
During heavy rain, look at the gutters from ground level or a window. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
About our thermal roof survey in Baughurst
Thermal imaging can also show where a roof is losing heat. Missing or slipped insulation and gaps at the eaves often show up as temperature differences. It works best when the building is heated and it’s colder outside. Our report points out what the images suggest and where to look more closely. We don’t give energy ratings or heat loss calculations. We survey pitched roof slopes, insulated roof spaces and ceilings below the roof, and common reasons people get in touch are damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys and damp around roof outlets and upstands.
In a small place like Baughurst, 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, like when you want to compare after future work.

Different roofs, different checks
GRP fibreglass roofs
Glossy GRP can reflect heat. We allow for reflections and confirm findings with moisture readings.
Parapets, valleys and junctions
Damp at junctions can be hard to see by eye. We combine a close visual check with the thermal images.
The survey, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. After that, we check everything we can see safely. Most surveys take about one to two hours at most homes, or half a day or so for a commercial building. Cottages and farmhouses around Baughurst often have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. Each part is looked at from wherever it can be seen safely.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- We inspect the roof and take thermal images during the same visit.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- You get the report the same day, with an in-person consultation to follow.
Getting ready for the survey
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Leave a clear route to the loft
Arrange a survey
Prices start from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on the roof’s size, access and the package, and you can phone 07833 053749 or email us to find out.

Thermal roof surveys around Baughurst
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. The wider area around Baughurst has a long history of building, with The Vyne about 4.6 miles south-east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and any change of roofing material on a listed home needs checking with the council first.
Take a building like The Hurst School: a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

Baughurst: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Baughurst?
Yes, Baughurst is within the area we cover. We work right across London and South East England. You can ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will talk through which survey suits.
Do you cover smaller places like Baughurst?
We do. Villages and rural addresses get the same survey as a town house.
Will you walk on the roof?
Only when it is safe. Safe viewpoints, the roof space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are typically harder to read. The air space under slates and tiles can hide patterns, so we also look from the loft where it’s safe.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
It can help narrow down where water may be getting in. Water can travel under a covering before it shows inside, and temperature patterns can help follow it. We combine it with a visual inspection and moisture readings, as the camera alone cannot prove a leak.
Do you test for asbestos?
No. We don’t sample or test for asbestos. Where a material might contain it, such as old cement sheets on a building from before 2000, the report flags it, with a recommendation to have a specialist asbestos surveyor check before it’s disturbed.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes. We photograph the roof as we go, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.
What we are asked to look at in Baughurst
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.
A survey makes sense if you’ve noticed:
- Areas losing heat at the eaves and junctions
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Moisture around outlets and upstands
- Damp that repairs haven’t cured
For an older house near a landmark like Saint Mary's Church, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof frequently shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Choosing a roof surveyor
