About our thermal roof survey in Bordon
Thermal imaging works best in the right conditions. A sunny day before the survey, a dry roof surface and little wind all help. Rain, a strong wind or heavy cloud can make the images less clear. We talk through the forecast as you book, and the report explains how the conditions on the day affected the results. We’re often asked to look into damp around roof outlets and upstands and areas of a flat roof that may hold water, across flat roofs, loft conversions and insulated roof spaces.
Even in a smaller place like Bordon, there may be airfields or restrictions nearby, so every drone flight starts with a check of the Drone Safety Map. Exposed sites can be windy, and a small drone can’t fly safely in strong wind. Neighbours’ privacy is part of planning each flight, along with the airspace and the weather.
Findings are set out part by part, from the coverings down to the gutters, each with a short note and a photograph. You will see the good as well as the bad.

Thermal roof surveys around Bordon
Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. Steep or complicated roofs are often hard to see from ground level, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help. If the drone is used for your survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bordon Infant School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. If you live in an older home near St Mark's Sacred Church, older roofs can be steep and hard to see from the street, which is where aerial photos and thermal images help.

Why act early in Bordon
Before replacing a large flat roof, it’s useful to know how much of it is actually wet. Thermal imaging, checked with moisture readings, gives a clearer picture before you spend. Tradespeople may need to travel further to a smaller place like Bordon, so it is useful to plan roof work rather than call someone out in a hurry. A survey gives you that notice.
A Basic Survey starts from £150, including VAT. Standard is from £250 and Premium from £400. You will know the exact price before booking.

How the survey works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from every safe vantage point, photograph what we find and record our findings for the written report. Most visits take an hour or two on an ordinary house, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a smaller place like Bordon, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. On bungalows and lower roofs, much can be seen from the ground, with the loft showing the underside.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there is safe access, in the loft.
- We take moisture readings where the images suggest a problem.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
Before the survey
- If the roof is shared, arrange access with whoever manages the building
- Find any records of previous roof work
- Tell us about any leaks, stains or damp patches you know of

Advice
Useful tips for Bordon property owners
Nothing here needs a ladder. Our suggestions:
- Photograph damp patches with the date
- Do not climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Heat the home normally on the days before
You also get an in-person consultation with a Premium Survey, giving you the chance to talk through the images and findings. There’s a 12-month follow-up too.
Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof, when the conditions are suitable.
Should I look at the roof myself first?
You can learn a lot from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Please don’t climb up for a closer look.
Inside, the loft is a good place to look, with care. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.

What we look for on each type of roof
Loft insulation
Insulation frequently gets moved during work in the loft. The camera can show where it no longer covers the ceiling.
Single-ply and EPDM roofs
Single-ply PVC, TPO and EPDM roofs are often laid over insulation boards. Wet boards can show as temperature differences on the images.
