What affects the cost of thermal roof surveys
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. These are the things that affect it:
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
- The size of the roof
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Every price we give includes VAT, and the written report is part of the package. Prices start from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
Helping us price your survey
These details help when you get in touch:
- Where the property is, with the postcode
- What kind of property and roof it is
- What’s prompted the survey
- Where any leaks, stains or damp patches show inside
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The exact figure depends on the roof and the package, so call 07833 053749 or send us an email with the details.
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Binsted
A thermal camera can help when the cause of damp isn’t obvious. Water can travel some distance under a roof covering before it shows inside, and the camera can show patterns that help us follow it. We combine the images with a visual inspection and moisture readings, so the findings don’t rely on the camera alone. If you’ve noticed leaks that are hard to trace and damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys, a survey will tell you what’s going on, on pitched roof slopes, commercial roofs and flat roofs alike.
In a village or hamlet like Binsted, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. Close-up drone photos and thermal images help show what can’t be reached safely. Weather and airspace are checked before the visit, and the journey is planned beforehand. Older roofs with steep slopes and tall chimneys are where the extra view helps most.
If any part of the roof couldn’t be seen safely, we say so in the report. You will know exactly what was inspected and what wasn’t, and what we’d suggest next.

How the survey works
You do not need to do much on the day. Point out anything you’ve noticed, such as stains, drips or loose pieces, and we will get on with the inspection. The survey itself takes about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. In a hamlet or village like Binsted, a postcode doesn’t always lead to the right gate, so a few directions, or a note of a nearby landmark, help us arrive on time. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.
- We start by discussing the roof, any signs of damp and how the weather may affect the images.
- We look at the roof from the ground, from windows and from the roof itself where it’s safe.
- We take thermal images of the roof to pick up temperature patterns.
- Any patterns of interest are checked with moisture readings where we can reach them.
- The report sets out the images, what they suggest and what we recommend.
Before the survey
- Make a note of anything you’d like us to look at
- If it isn’t your property yet, arrange access through the agent
- Let us know about parking before the day

Advice
Landlords, agents and block managers in Binsted
For a freeholder or residents’ company, a roof report is a sound basis for a maintenance plan.

Should I look at the roof myself first?
Fresh stains on ceilings or walls after rain are worth noting. Take a photo and write down when you saw it.
You can learn a lot from ground level. Binoculars help you spot slipped slates or tiles, gaps along the ridge and a leaning stack. Please do not climb up for a closer look.
Why get it checked now?
Without thermal imaging, the only way to see how far water has spread is often to open up the roof. It helps when deciding whether to patch an area or replace the roof. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Binsted, driving rain gets into any weakness, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. What you pay depends on how big and how high the roof is, access and which survey you book.

Flying and imaging in Binsted
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. In this part of the South East, older roofs are mostly slate or clay tile and many newer ones concrete tile. Older coverings on steep or tall roofs are hard to judge from below, so close-up close-up aerial shots and thermal images help. An older home may be listed, or stand in a conservation area. Historic England’s list shows listed buildings, and the council can say whether a street is in a conservation area. In either case, a change of roofing material may need consent.
Anyone responsible for a site like Binsted Church of England Primary School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof. For an older house near a landmark like Church of the Holy Cross, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

How do I arrange a thermal roof survey in Binsted?
To book, ring 07833 053749 or email us with the address, the type of property and what’s prompted the survey. We will confirm the price and find a day that suits.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We can flag materials that might contain asbestos, but only a specialist asbestos surveyor can confirm it. Buildings built or refurbished before 2000 may contain it.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. We are experienced roof surveyors, and visible signs such as sagging are noted, but we do not provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. If one is needed, the report says so.
How the survey changes by roof type
Felt and asphalt flat roofs
Felt and asphalt sit tight to the layers below, which frequently helps the camera pick up differences. Any patterns are checked with moisture readings.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
On larger commercial single-ply roofs, thermal imaging can help target moisture readings. That makes the survey more focused.
