Thermal roof survey in Broad Oak
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. You also get a drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and a report on the same day. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. To book, just phone 07833 053749 or email us with the address and what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We survey commercial roofs, ceilings below the roof and pitched roof slopes, and people most frequently book us about leaks that are hard to trace and thin or uneven insulation in the roof.
Villages like Broad Oak frequently stand in open country, where wind can be strong. Strong wind or heavy rain stops a small drone flying, and calm conditions also suit thermal imaging best. We plan the journey, access and timing around the weather. If the day turns windy or wet, the visit can be moved.
You receive the findings by email, easy to pass on to a roofer, an agent or an insurer. Turnaround is within 48 hours for Basic, 24–48 hours for Standard and same day for Premium.

What you can safely check yourself
It helps to keep a record: when leaks happen, ground-level photos and any past roof work. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.
The one thing to avoid is getting up close. Roofs are fragile and slippery, and a fall can be serious. That’s where a survey comes in.
Why it’s worth a survey now in Broad Oak
A damp patch that keeps coming back usually has a cause that hasn’t been found. Thermal imaging with moisture readings can help narrow it down, instead of trying repair after repair. For an older or listed building in a place like Broad Oak, repairs may need matching materials and consent, so a defect found early gives time to plan the work properly.
Our price is from £400, including VAT. The final price depends on how big and how high the roof is, how it can safely be seen and which survey you book.
Why us?
- Thermal imaging and drone inspection where they help
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- CAA-registered drone operator (Flyer ID and Operator ID)
- An independent look at the roof

How it works
Every visit follows the same pattern: we listen to what’s been worrying you, inspect the roof from each safe vantage point, take photos as we go and make notes for the report. It usually takes between one and two hours at a typical home; commercial roofs usually need 3–4 hours. Somewhere as small as Broad Oak, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- We look over the roof from wherever it’s safe.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions on your street
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with the freeholder or managing agent
- Note where any stains or damp appear

Thermal roof surveys around Broad Oak
A number of Hampshire villages keep thatched roofs on their older buildings. Slate and clay tile are the usual coverings on older South East houses, with concrete tiles on many later estates. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. 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.
The streets around a church such as All Saints Church are often among the oldest in a place, and if yours is one of the older homes nearby, steep roofs, tall chimneys and hidden valleys can be hard to see from ground level, and that’s where a view from the air or with a thermal camera helps. For businesses in and around places such as Hart Shopping Centre, thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof. Anyone responsible for a site like Mayhill Junior School will know that thermal images can show where wet insulation sits under a big flat roof.

Your questions about thermal roof surveys in Broad Oak
Is drone flying allowed in Broad Oak?
The answer turns on the exact location and the conditions on the day. Broad Oak is about 2 miles from RAF Odiham, so the Drone Safety Map is checked for restrictions around it before we fly. Strong wind or a downpour also stops a small drone flying, and the rest of the survey doesn’t depend on the drone.
Will you come out to Broad Oak?
Yes, Broad Oak is covered. We survey roofs across London and South East England, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned ahead of time.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on the survey. Inside the building and in the loft, we need someone to let us in; we’ll agree the details when you book.
What insurance do you have?
Every survey is covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
Can you survey a shared roof?
Yes, if whoever owns or manages the building agrees access. We look at the parts we are given access to.
When does the report arrive?
That depends on the survey you book: Basic within 48 hours, Standard in 24–48 hours and Premium the same day. The report is emailed to you.
Can you use a thermal camera on a sloping roof?
It can help, but the results are often less clear than on a flat roof. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we combine it with an inspection from the loft where there is safe access.

Practical tips
Small things make a difference. Some pointers:
- Check outlets after heavy rain
- Use the report as a baseline for later checks
- Keep a record of when stains appear
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
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.
Keep an eye on ceilings under the roof for new stains. Early action keeps insulation from staying wet.
