Do you need a thermal roof survey in Bramshott Chase?
Once a leak has been fixed, people frequently ask whether the roof is still wet. A thermal survey with moisture readings can show whether wet areas remain, given suitable conditions on the day.
Signs worth acting on include:
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Cold spots on ceilings under the roof
If you live in an older home near Church of St Luke, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.

Thermal roof survey in Bramshott Chase: what you get
A thermal imaging roof survey uses a thermal camera to show differences in surface temperature across a roof. The patterns can suggest wet insulation, gaps in insulation or places where heat is getting out. The camera doesn’t see water itself, so we check what it shows with moisture readings. It comes as part of our Premium Survey, from £400. Conditions on the day affect the results, and the report explains how. We survey pitched roof slopes, flat roofs and ceilings below the roof, and common reasons people get in touch are leaks far from where the stain appears and wet areas near outlets and upstands.
Older buildings in small places like Bramshott Chase may be listed or in a conservation area. Neither a drone survey nor a thermal survey involves any work on the roof, which suits a building where any change needs care, before anyone decides what work it needs. Changes that affect a listed building’s special interest need listed building consent, so check with the council first.
How fast the report arrives depends on the package: the Basic Survey within 48 hours, the Standard Survey in 24 to 48 hours and the Premium Survey on the same day.

Tips that help
Some practical points come up on survey after survey. They’re worth knowing whatever the roof:
- Remember the conditions on the day affect the results
- Check the loft can be reached safely
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Note where damp appears and after what weather

Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof, when the conditions are suitable.
How the survey changes by roof type
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Thermal images of a pitched roof can still show heat loss patterns and some damp areas. The report explains what the images can tell you and what they can’t.
GRP fibreglass roofs
Cracks in GRP can let water into the boards beneath. We combine a visual check of cracks with the thermal images around them.
Rented homes, blocks and businesses
An agent can book and manage the survey for a landlord, and the report can go to both. Access is agreed with the tenant ahead of time.
Businesses and commercial landlords can book us too, including offices, shops and units. Bigger roofs take more time, and they’re priced for the size.
What we do, step by step
Expect us to ask a few questions before we start, such as when any problem began and what work has been done before. The inspection then takes about 1–2 hours at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. Rural addresses near Bramshott Chase can be hard to find from a postcode alone, 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 go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- Thermal images are taken across the roof and, where there’s 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.
Getting ready for the survey
- If you are buying, let the agent know when we are coming
- Check we can get to the back of the property
- Tell us where we can park nearby

Advice
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Bramshott Chase
Handmade clay tiles and tile-hung walls are typical of Surrey’s older houses. Horsham stone slab roofs survive on some old buildings in Surrey. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. There are about 500,000 buildings on England’s list of listed buildings, and around 10,000 conservation areas. If your home is listed, changes that affect its special interest need listed building consent, and in a conservation area re-roofing in different materials may need permission, so the council is the place to ask.
If you look after a building such as Woolmer Hill School, a view from above covers a wide roof far faster than walking it.

FAQs for Bramshott Chase
How do I find out if my home in Bramshott Chase is listed?
For listing, use Historic England’s list; for conservation areas, ask the council. The answer matters most when a change of material is on the cards.
Do you cover Bramshott Chase?
Yes, Bramshott Chase is one of the places we work. The survey and report are the same in Bramshott Chase as anywhere else.
Does thermal imaging detect leaks directly?
Not directly. It shows surface temperature, and wet areas can show up because they hold heat differently. That’s why we check any patterns with moisture readings.
Which survey includes thermal imaging?
It’s 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.
Do you survey roofs on blocks of flats?
Yes. A shared roof needs access agreed first. Let us know about it when booking and we’ll explain what’s needed.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. If we only need the outside, we can agree that ahead of time, but anything inside needs someone there to give access.
Will you walk on the roof?
Not unless it’s safe. Safe viewpoints, the loft space and a drone where it applies cover most of what’s needed, and the report notes anything we couldn’t see.
