Thermal roof survey in Bouldnor: what you get
On a flat roof, wet insulation holds heat longer than dry insulation. That means a wet area can show up as a different temperature from the rest of the roof. It helps us see how far water may have spread under the covering, something you cannot usually tell from the surface. Moisture readings are then used to check what the camera suggests. We survey loft conversions, flat roofs and insulated roof spaces, and people most often book us about damp around roof outlets and upstands and water that travels before it shows.
Villages like Bouldnor often stand in open country, where wind can be strong. High wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. The visit is planned around the forecast, along with the journey and access. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day.

Thermal roof surveys around Bouldnor
Bouldnor is within about 1 mile of the coast. Clear thermal results need a dry roof and little wind after a sunny day, so the date depends on the forecast. If your survey includes the drone, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Yarmouth Church of England Aided Primary School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it. If you live in an older home near Church of St Swithin (old), thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.

Questions from Bouldnor
Do you cover smaller places like Bouldnor?

Do you cover Bouldnor?

What does the report include?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, with photos throughout. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too, so you know exactly what was covered.
Is thermal imaging included in your surveys?
Our Premium Survey, from £400, includes thermal imaging. You also get an in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up. For bigger commercial roofs, we quote on size.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. We check the parts we are given access to.
When does the report arrive?
Basic reports arrive within 48 hours, Standard reports in 24–48 hours and Premium reports on the same day. All of them come by email.
Is this an asbestos survey?
No. We do not sample or test for asbestos. The report may flag materials that could contain asbestos on buildings built or refurbished before 2000.
When to book a survey in Bouldnor
Not every roof problem shows on the surface. Trapped moisture, missing insulation and hidden heat loss are three examples. A thermal camera adds another way of finding them.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Missing or slipped insulation
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
With Mottistone Manor about 4.4 miles south-east, the area around Bouldnor has a long history. Photos from the air and thermal images let an old roof be checked without anyone disturbing it.

Prices for thermal roof surveys in Bouldnor
Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before you book. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
- Features like valleys, chimneys, dormers and parapets
- Whether you choose the Basic, Standard or Premium Survey
- Whether it’s a home or a commercial building
Thermal imaging and drone inspection (where it applies) come with the Premium Survey, from £400 including VAT. We will tell you which package suits the questions you have.
Helping us price your survey
We will normally ask about:
- The kind of building and roof involved
- What made you get in touch
- Your postcode, so we can check access and travel
- Any photos you have, taken from the ground or a window
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from the ground or a window, and please don’t climb up for a closer look. To send them or to book, call 07833 053749 or send us an email.
What happens on the day
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, from the ground, from windows, in the roof space and by drone where applicable. The survey typically takes an hour or two for most homes, plus time to check any thermal findings with moisture readings. In a small place like Bouldnor, access is typically the main thing to plan. Let us know about outbuildings, past repairs and any leaks you’ve noticed. Weekday and weekend visits are available.
- First we discuss the roof, any damp and the forecast for the visit.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there is safe access, in the loft.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- The report pairs each thermal image with a photo and explains what it suggests.
Before we arrive
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
- Have keys ready for side gates, garages or roof access doors
- Have any questions written down, so nothing gets missed

Tips from our surveys
These tips come from what we see on roofs every week:
- Heat the home normally on the days before
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- Check the loft can be reached safely
- Check from ground level or a window, never by climbing
You can pass the report to a roofer so they can see where the problem areas seem to be. Because the images are paired with photos, it’s easy to find each area on the roof.
After repairs or a new covering, a later survey can confirm things are dry in suitable weather.
