Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Bentworth
Your report sets out the thermal images alongside ordinary photos, 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. If you have questions, the in-person consultation gives you time to go through them. A follow-up 12 months later is included too. We are frequently asked to look into thin or uneven insulation in the roof and wet insulation beneath the membrane, across insulated roof spaces, flat roofs and loft conversions.
Somewhere as small as Bentworth, older roofs are often steep and partly hidden by trees or outbuildings. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what cannot be reached safely. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first, and the journey is planned beforehand. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
The report is yours to share with whoever needs it: your solicitor, the seller, your insurer, a roofer or the building’s managing agent, whichever applies.

Roof by roof
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
On felt and asphalt flat roofs, wet insulation can show as a temperature difference across the surface. Moisture readings are used to check them.
Loft insulation
Insulation often gets moved during work in the loft. The camera can show where it no longer covers the ceiling.
Questions from Bentworth
Will you come out to Bentworth?
Yes, Bentworth is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it is useful to know about access.
Does a conservation area affect roof work in Bentworth?
You can check whether a building is listed on Historic England’s list, and your council can tell you if it is in a conservation area. Listed building consent is needed for changes that affect a listed building’s special interest, and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material.
What do I do with the report?
The report comes by email, and you decide the next step: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
How do I book a survey in Bentworth?
To book, phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price and agree a day with you.
How soon will I get the report?
That depends on the survey you book: the Basic Survey report arrives within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey the same day. Reports are sent by email.
How much does a thermal roof survey cost?
It is part of the Premium Survey, from £400. You also get an in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up. For bigger commercial roofs, we quote on size.
What conditions are best for thermal imaging?
Conditions on the day have a big effect on what the camera can show. A dry surface, little wind and a sunny spell beforehand help most. Our report notes the conditions and how they affected the findings.
What else we do in Bentworth
When to book a survey in Bentworth
Cold rooms under a roof, or high heating bills, lead some people to ask about heat loss. Missing or slipped insulation can stand out as temperature differences, particularly when there’s a clear difference between inside and outside.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Leaks that are hard to trace
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Patches of heat loss across the roof
With Hall Place about 0.2 miles south-west, the area around Bentworth has a long history. For older roofs nearby, a look from the air or with a thermal camera is a hands-off way to check condition.
Before you book anyone
- Is VAT included in the price?
- What’s outside the scope of the survey
- What follow-up you get after the report
- Are they insured for the work?
Flying and imaging in Bentworth
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 photos from the air and thermal images help. Lasham Airfield is about 3 miles from Bentworth. If the drone is used for your survey, the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions first.
If you look after a building such as St Mary's Bentworth Church of England Primary School, big roofs are where aerial photos and thermal images show the most at once. The streets around a church such as St. Mary's Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Bentworth is about 3 miles west of Alton, in Hampshire. Bookings from Bentworth are handled just like any other: get in touch, agree the price and pick a day. Bentworth is one of the towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. Reading is in our area too.

When you need someone else
Our findings are based on what we can see safely on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Whether the deck or roof structure is strong enough
- An energy rating for the building
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
Not sure which survey suits your roof? You can ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you before you book. What a survey covers and doesn’t.
Roof types and parts we check
- Insulated roof spaces
- Flat roofs
- Ceilings below the roof
- Commercial roofs
- Loft conversions
- Pitched roof slopes
Leave it or get it looked at?
Heat lost through a roof costs money every winter. The camera can point to gaps and thin areas in the insulation, so you know where to put things right. Around Bentworth, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
We offer three survey packages: Basic from £150, Standard from £250 and Premium from £400, all inc. VAT. The price for your roof depends on its size, access and what you’d like to know.
What you get with us
- Packages from £150, with VAT included
- 5,000+ surveys completed
- Drone flown under a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Drones and thermal imaging where it applies

What affects the price in Bentworth
Prices vary from roof to roof, and it comes down to:
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- The height of the building and how the roof can be seen safely
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
All our prices include VAT. Our price is from £400, including VAT. You will know the price for the job before booking.
Getting in touch
There is no need for technical words. It’s enough to tell us:
- Pictures of the roof from a safe spot, if you have them
- Dates you’re working to, such as exchange
- The style of property, from a terrace to a block
- Whether there is a loft hatch, a shared roof or tricky access
Booking is simple: just call 07833 053749 or use the contact form and give us some details about the property and we’ll explain which survey suits. We confirm the price before anything is booked.
The survey, step by step
On the day, we begin with a quick chat about the roof and anything that is worrying you. We then inspect everything that can safely be seen, using the ground, windows, the loft and a drone where it applies. Most surveys take an hour or two for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. For a village or hamlet like Bentworth, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. The roof is looked at from the ground, from windows, from the loft where there is safe access and from the roof where it is safe.
- 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.
- You get a report with thermal images, photographs and our recommendations.
Getting ready for the survey
- Keep pets out of the way during the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors

If you are buying, it is useful to book soon after your offer is accepted, so you have the findings in time to act on them before you exchange. For any other survey, just call 07833 053749 or drop us an email when you’re ready.
