Questions from Bramdean
Do you cover Bramdean?
We do. Every survey there gets the same written report with photographs, and visits run on weekdays and weekends.
Do you cover smaller places like Bramdean?
Yes, Bramdean is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What will the report tell me?
It works through the roof part by part, in writing and with photos, finishing with recommendations. The most urgent items are made clear.
Do you use drones?
Yes, where it is applicable. Our sub-250g drone is flown by a CAA-registered operator with a Flyer ID and Operator ID, and every flight depends on the airspace and the weather.
Can a thermal survey trace a roof leak?
It often helps show where to look. Patterns can suggest where trapped water has spread. We combine it with a visual inspection and moisture readings because the camera can’t confirm water on its own.
How much does a thermal roof survey cost?
Our Premium Survey, from £400, includes thermal imaging. You also get an in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size.
Can you tell me if my roof has asbestos?
No. We don’t carry out asbestos surveys or testing. We flag materials that could contain asbestos, such as cement sheets or soffits on pre-2000 buildings, and recommend a specialist asbestos surveyor checks them before they’re disturbed.
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Bramdean
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 our report notes the conditions and how they affected what we saw. We survey ceilings below the roof, flat roofs and pitched roof slopes, and common reasons people get in touch are damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys and ceilings that feel colder in places.
In a small place like Bramdean, open ground can mean strong wind. Strong wind or a downpour stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. A change in the forecast can mean moving the visit to another day.
We write the report in plain English, so you do not need to be a roofer to follow it. Each point is backed by a photograph where possible.

Leave it or get it looked at?
If a big flat roof may need replacing, knowing the wet areas first is useful. Images backed by moisture readings show where problems seem to be before you spend. Around Bramdean, older homes frequently have old roof timbers, where water from a failed roof can cause rot if it is left.
Bigger, taller and commercial roofs take more time to survey, so they’re priced to match. You’ll know the figure before booking.

Different roofs, different checks
GRP fibreglass roofs
Cracks in GRP can let water into the boards beneath. We look at cracks by eye and use the images to see whether there’s a pattern around them.
Loft insulation
The difference is clearest when the home is heated and it’s cold out. Our report notes how the conditions affected the images.
What else we do in Bramdean
What a survey costs
Several things affect the price of a survey:
- Whether it is a home or a commercial building
- The size of the roof
- Which survey package you book
- Any need for thermal images or a drone flight
Prices quoted always include VAT, and the report is not charged as an extra. Prices start from £400, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.
What to let us know when you contact us
Before you get in touch, it helps to have:
- When you need the report by
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Any stains, drips or damp patches you’ve seen indoors
- What kind of property and roof it is
Most bookings start with a short call: call 07833 053749 or send us an email and we’ll ask a few questions about the roof. You’ll have a price before anything is arranged.
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Bramdean
Some Hampshire villages still have thatched roofs. Older houses in the South East often have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. Many roofs like these can’t be judged properly from the pavement, and that is where a view from above or a thermal image earns its place. About 1.3 miles west lies Hinton Ampner House, a reminder of how long the area around Bramdean has been built on. If your house is among the older ones, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Simon and St Jude, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.

Useful tips for Bramdean property owners
You don’t need to be a roofer to help. Here’s what helps most:
- Leave the roof to people with safe access
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Ask us about the forecast if rain is expected
- Move stored items away from the loft hatch
Many people send the report to roofers, who can then quote for the areas shown. Each thermal image is matched to a normal photo, so the areas are easy to locate.
Make sure loft insulation covers the whole area and hasn’t been disturbed. Insulation is often moved when people work in the roof space.
What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us any stains, drips or problem areas you know about, and we will get on with the inspection. A typical survey takes an hour or two at most homes, with bigger or more complicated roofs taking longer. Cottages and farmhouses around Bramdean frequently have roofs at several levels, with lean-tos and outbuildings attached. We work round each section in turn, from the safest viewpoints, and anything we cannot see is noted.
- 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’s safe access.
- We write up the thermal images alongside ordinary photos and recommendations.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking before the day
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it is shared
- Have any paperwork from past roof work to hand
