Bramshott Thermal Roof Survey
Thermal imaging to find moisture and heat loss patterns in a roof around Bramshott, with findings in writing and pictures to back them up. Book a weekday or weekend visit.
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Water getting in at parapets and stacks
- Wet insulation beneath the membrane
Thermal roof surveys for homes and businesses in Bramshott
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 findings are checked with moisture readings. Thermal imaging is included in our Premium Survey, from £400. The report also notes the conditions on the day, since they affect what the camera can show. We survey ceilings below the roof, insulated roof spaces and loft conversions, and common reasons people get in touch are wet insulation beneath the membrane and damp that repairs haven’t cured.
In a village or hamlet like Bramshott, roofs can be steep, old and hard to see from the lane. A drone and a thermal camera each give a view you can’t get from ground level. Both the forecast and the airspace are checked first. 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.

What we can’t see
No survey can tell you everything, and we’d rather be clear about that before booking. Bear these in mind:
- Clear results when the conditions on the day are poor
- Structural calculations, which need a structural engineer
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations
If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will suggest the right survey before booking. What our survey covers.

Bramshott: your questions answered
Do you carry out roof surveys in Bramshott?
Yes. We cover the whole of London and South East England, and Bramshott is part of that. You can phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll talk through which survey suits.
How do I find out if my home in Bramshott is listed?
Start with Historic England’s list for listing and your council for conservation areas. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it is worth checking before planning any.
What does the report include?
It explains what we saw, what it means and what we’d suggest, backed by photos. Anything we couldn’t see safely is noted too.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
On pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp patterns. We explain what the images can and cannot tell you, and we check them with a visual inspection and moisture readings.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, once whoever controls the roof agrees access. On a shared roof we can only inspect the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Does the weather affect a thermal survey?
The weather makes a real difference. A sunny day beforehand, a dry surface and calm air all help. Rain and strong wind can make the images less clear, so we discuss the forecast when booking.
What do I do with the report?
The report comes by email, and what you do next is up to you: raise it with a seller, send it to an insurer, brief a roofer or share it with a managing agent.
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Bramshott
What can be done to an older roof may depend on listing or a conservation area. The council is the place to check, along with Historic England’s list, before anyone quotes for re-roofing. Where the drone is part of the survey, the flight is checked against the Drone Safety Map first.
Anyone responsible for a site like Liphook Infant School will know that big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.
Bramshott is about 8 miles south of Farnham, in Hampshire. Surveys in Bramshott work the same way as everywhere we cover: a careful inspection, photos and a written report. Bramshott is one of the places in Hampshire we cover for thermal roof surveys. You can also see our page for Guildford.

What else we do in Bramshott
Roof by roof
Pitched slate and tile roofs
Even on pitched roofs, the camera can point to heat loss and some damp. The report explains what the images can tell you and what they cannot.
GRP fibreglass roofs
GRP roofs are laid over timber boards, so trapped moisture can affect the deck. Thermal imaging can suggest where that may be happening.
How we price thermal roof surveys
A few things affect what a survey costs:
- The type of building, from a house to a block or an office
- Basic, Standard or Premium
- How many separate roofs there are, such as extensions, dormers and garages
- Height and safe access
The cost of a survey depends on the roof: its size, its height, how many sections it has and how safely it can be seen. Our price is from £400, including VAT.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical words. Just let us know:
- How the loft is reached, if there is one
- Photos of the roof, taken safely from ground level or a window
- What kind of property and roof it is
- The reason for the survey, such as buying, a leak or storm damage
Photos help, if you have them. Take them safely from ground level or a window; never climb up to get a better view. To send them or to book, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form.
What we are asked to look at in Bramshott
On big commercial and residential flat roofs, thermal imaging helps owners plan. Patterns can point to wet areas and show which parts look sound, so we know where to take moisture readings.
Things that frequently lead to a survey include:
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Heat escaping through the roof
- Areas of a flat roof that may hold water
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, tall stacks and steep slopes are easier to judge with close-up aerial photos than from the pavement.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT included in the price?
- If they fly a drone, whether they hold a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID
- Whether the inside of the roof is included
- What happens after the report arrives
Can I check my roof myself?
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery. That is where a survey comes in, using safe viewpoints and a drone where applicable.
The survey, step by step
Once we’ve finished looking, we write up our findings as a written report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it typically takes about one to two hours at a typical home, though large, tall or awkward roofs take more time. For a village or hamlet like Bramshott, the journey is planned beforehand: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. On the day, we inspect everything that’s safely in view, inside and out.
- We go through the roof, the problem and the weather expected on the day.
- The roof is inspected visually from safe positions.
- We take thermal images of the roof and of the loft where we can reach it.
- Patterns that stand out are checked with moisture readings.
- Each image is set beside a normal photo and explained in the report.
How to prepare
- Keep pets inside or away from the areas we’re looking at
- Agree roof access with the managing agent if it’s shared
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
