Bedhampton Thermal Roof Survey
An experienced roof surveyor for thermal roof surveys in Bedhampton. Over 5,000 surveys and 20+ years behind us.
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
What happens on the day
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about one to two hours for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. Parking around Bedhampton is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention lanes, gates or long drives. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from ground level, with the loft showing the underside.
- 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.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- We check the patterns that stand out with moisture readings where there is safe access.
- You get a report with thermal images, photos and our recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Buyers: confirm access with the estate agent or seller
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we are looking at

Advice
About our thermal roof survey in Bedhampton
Thermal imaging is frequently most useful on flat roofs, from small extensions to large commercial roofs. Patterns can suggest where water is trapped under the covering. On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can hide what’s below, so we also look from the loft where we can reach it safely. We survey flat roofs, insulated roof spaces and ceilings below the roof, and common reasons people get in touch are wet insulation beneath the membrane and water that travels before it shows.
Around Bedhampton, older homes can have thin loft insulation and later additions with roofs of their own. A thermal image can show where heat is escaping or where moisture may be trapped, and drone photos show the roof surfaces themselves. Anything that looks like moisture is checked with a meter. Results depend on the weather, so the visit is planned around the forecast.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

Thermal roof surveys around Bedhampton
The coast is about 1 mile or less from Bedhampton. 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. Warblington Castle, about 1.7 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Bedhampton. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs.
If you look after a building such as Bidbury Junior School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. If you live in an older home near St Nicholas Church, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where close-up aerial shots and thermal images help.

What we look for on each type of roof
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.
Pitched slate and tile roofs
On pitched roofs, slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s happening underneath. We back up what the camera shows with a look in the loft where we can.
Bedhampton: your questions answered
Do you cover Bedhampton?
Yes, Bedhampton is within the area we cover. Our area covers London and South East England. You can call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and some details.
Is my home in Bedhampton listed or in a conservation area?
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.
Do I need to be at home?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
What does the report include?
You get our findings in writing, part by part, with photos, and ends with what we recommend. The most urgent items are made clear.
Are you structural engineers?
No. We are roof surveyors, not structural engineers. If we see signs that need an engineer’s opinion, we will recommend one.
When does the report arrive?
Each package has its own report time. Basic is within 48 hours, Standard is 24–48 hours and Premium is the same day. Mention any deadline as you book.
Do you climb onto every roof?
Only when it is safe. Safety comes first, and fragile or steep roofs can’t always be walked on. Safe viewpoints, the loft and a drone where it applies let us see the rest, and the report records anything we couldn’t see.
Practical tips
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- File the images with your roof records
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
If the images suggest moisture that cannot be confirmed, we’ll say what would help next, for instance electronic leak detection or a roofer opening up a small section.
Deal with small splits and lifted seams promptly. Water that gets under a covering can spread a long way before it shows.
